Transitions in wheat endosperm metabolism upon transcriptional induction of o...
Cereal grains, including wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), are major sources of food and feed, with wheat being dominant in temperate zones. These end uses exploit the storage... -
Evidence That Phosphorylation of the α-Subunit of eIF2 Does Not Essentially I...
A mechanism based on reversible phosphorylation of the α-subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2α) has been confirmed as an important regulatory pathway for the... -
Differential ear growth of two maize varieties to shading in the field enviro...
The interception of irradiation by smog pollution and cloud cover associated with extreme rainfall events has become an increasingly important limiting factor in crop production... -
Time‐intensive geoelectrical monitoring under winter wheat
Several studies have explored the potential of electrical resistivity tomography to monitor changes in soil moisture associated with the root water uptake of different crops.... -
Genome Sequence of Fusarium graminearum Strain CML3066, Isolated from a Wheat...
Fusarium graminearum is a global fungal pathogen of wheat and other small grains, causing Fusarium head blight (FHB) disease, also known as wheat scab. We report here the... -
Loss of TaIRX9b gene function in wheat decreases chain length and amount of a...
Wheat contains abundant xylan in cell walls of all tissues, but in endosperm, there is an unusual form of xylan substituted only by arabinose (arabinoxylan; AX) that has long... -
A comparison between water uptake and root length density in winter wheat: ef...
We aim to quantify the variation in root distribution in a set of 35 experimental wheat lines. We also compared the effect of variation in hydraulic properties of the... -
Composition and content of phenolic acids and avenanthramides in commercial o...
Oats contain a range of phenolic acids and avenanthramides which may have health benefits. Analysis of 22 commercial oat products (oat bran concentrate, oat bran, flaked oats,... -
High post-anthesis temperature effects on bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) ...
Abstract Background: High post-anthesis (p.a) temperatures reduce mature grain weight in wheat. However, the causes of this reduction are not entirely known. Control of grain... -
Novel low-nitrogen stress-responsive long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) in barley ...
Reducing the dependence of crop production on chemical fertilizer with its associated costs, carbon footprint and other environmental problems is a challenge for agriculture.... -
Phylogeny and gene expression of the complete NITRATE TRANSPORTER 1/PEPTIDE T...
Abstract NPF genes encode membrane transporters involved in the transport of a large variety of substrates including nitrate and peptides. The NPF gene family has been... -
A modular cloning toolkit for genome editing in plants
CRISPR/Cas has recently become a widely used genome editing tool in various organisms, including plants. Applying CRISPR/Cas often requires delivering multiple expression units... -
Turning sugar into oil: making photosynthesis blind to feedback inhibition
This article comments on: Beechey-Gradwell Z, Cooney L, Winichayakul S, Andrews M, Hea SY, Crowther T, Roberts N. 2020. Storing carbon in leaf lipid sinks enhanced perennial... -
Soil strength influences wheat root interactions with soil macropores
Deep rooting is critical for access to water and nutrients found in subsoil. However, damage to soil structure and the natural increase in soil strength with depth, often... -
Functional QTL mapping and genomic prediction of canopy height in wheat measu...
Genetic studies increasingly rely on high-throughput phenotyping, but the resulting longitudinal data pose analytical challenges. We used canopy height data from an automated... -
PHI-base: the pathogen–host interactions database
Abstract The pathogen–host interactions database (PHI-base) is available at www.phi-base.org. PHI-base contains expertly curated molecular and biological information on genes... -
Mitigation efforts will not fully alleviate the increase in water scarcity oc...
Global warming is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of severe water scarcity (SWS) events, which negatively affect rain-fed crops such as wheat, a key source of... -
Investigating the effects of inter-annual weather variation (1968–2016) on th...
The effect of weather on inter-annual variation in the crop yield response to nitrogen (N) fertilizer for winter wheat (Triticum aestivvum L.) and spring barley (Hordeum vulgare... -
Adverse weather conditions for UK wheat production under climate change
Winter wheat is an important crop in the UK, suited to the typical weather conditions in the current climate. In a changing climate the increased frequency and severity of... -
Acrylamide in food: Progress in and prospects for genetic and agronomic solut...
Acrylamide is a processing contaminant and Group 2a carcinogen that was discovered in foodstuffs in 2002. Its presence in a range of popular foods has become one of the most...
