Loss of starch synthase IIIa changes starch molecular structure and granule m...
AbstractStarch synthase III plays a key role in starch biosynthesis and is highly expressed in developing wheat grains. To understand the contribution of SSIII to starch and... -
FANCM promotes class I interfering crossovers and suppresses class II non-int...
AbstractFANCM suppresses crossovers in plants by unwinding recombination intermediates. In wheat, crossovers are skewed toward the chromosome ends, thus limiting generation of... -
Changes in the concentrations and transcripts for gibberellins and other horm...
Abstract Background Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a major source of nutrition globally, but yields can be seriously compromised by water limitation. Redistribution of... -
Genetic control of iron bioavailability is independent from iron concentratio...
Abstract Background Anemia is thought to affect up to 1.6 billion people worldwide. One of the major contributors to low iron (Fe) absorption is a higher proportion of cereals... -
Effectiveness of using representative subsets of global climate models in fut...
AbstractRepresentative subsets of global climate models (GCMs) are often used in climate change impact studies to account for uncertainty in ensemble climate projections.... -
The membrane-localized protein kinase MAP4K4/TOT3 regulates thermomorphogenesis
AbstractPlants respond to mild warm temperature conditions by increased elongation growth of organs to enhance cooling capacity, in a process called thermomorphogenesis. To this... -
Pan-European multi-crop model ensemble simulations of wheat and grain maize u...
The simulated data set described in this paper was created by an ensemble of nine different crop models: HERMES (HE), Simplace<Lintul5,Slim3, FAO-56 ET0> (L5),... -
Identifying aphid resistance in the ancestral wheat Triticum monococcum under...
AbstractWheat is an economically, socially, and nutritionally important crop, however, aphid infestation can often reduce wheat yield through feeding and virus transmission.... -
Reduced free asparagine in wheat grain resulting from a natural deletion of T...
Abstract Background Understanding the determinants of free asparagine concentration in wheat grain is necessary to reduce levels of the processing contaminant acrylamide in... -
Population structure and genome-wide association studies in bread wheat for p...
AbstractSoil bioavailability of phosphorus (P) is a major concern for crop productivity worldwide. As phosphatic fertilizers are a non-renewable resource associated with... -
Stem rust resistance in wheat is suppressed by a subunit of the mediator complex
AbstractStem rust is an important disease of wheat that can be controlled using resistance genes. The gene SuSr-D1 identified in cultivar ‘Canthatch’ suppresses stem rust... -
Historical changes in the contents and compositions of fibre components and p...
Thirty-nine UK adapted wheat cultivars dating from between 1790 and 2012 were grown in replicated randomised field trials for three years, milled, and white flour analysed for... -
Comparative prebiotic activity of mixtures of cereal grain polysaccharides
The main components of the non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) fraction of wheat flour are arabinoxylan (AX) and β-glucan. These are also present in other cereal grains, but their... -
Rice auxin influx carrier OsAUX1 facilitates root hair elongation in response...
Root traits such as root angle and hair length influence resource acquisition particularly for immobile nutrients like phosphorus (P). Here, we attempted to modify root angle in... -

The stage of seed development influences iron bioavailability in pea (Pisum s...
Pea seeds are widely consumed in their immature form, known as garden peas and petit pois, mostly after preservation by freezing or canning. Mature dry peas are rich in iron in... -
Modified expression of ZmMYB167 in Brachypodium distachyon and Zea mays leads...
One of the challenges to enable targeted modification of lignocellulosic biomass from grasses for improved biofuel and biochemical production lies within our limited... -

Exploring the resilience of wheat crops grown in short rotations through mini...
Given the increasing demand for wheat which is forecast, cropping of wheat in short rotations will likely remain a common practice. However, in temperate wheat growing regions...
