Effect of high molecular weight glutenin subunit Dy10 on wheat dough properti...
High-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GSs) are the most critical grain storage proteins that determine the unique processing quality of wheat. Although it is part of the... -
Integration of embryo–endosperm interaction into a holistic and dynamic pictu...
Interaction between the embryo and endosperm affects seed development, an essential process in yield formation in crops such as rice. Signals that mediate communication between... -
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),... -
Dissection of environmental and physiological effects on the temperature diff...
Temperature of a plant organ constitutes an integrative index to its eco-physiological properties and status. However, little attempt has been made to dissect the combined... -
Antibodies raised against a Sunn bug (Eurygaster integriceps Put.) recombinan...
Sunn pest or Sunn bug, Eurygaster integriceps Put., salivary gland proteases are responsible for the deterioration of wheat flour quality during dough mixing, resulting from... -
Temporal and spatial variations of carbon isotope signature reveal substantia...
Carbon isotope composition (δ13C) of a plant organ is an inherent signature reflecting its physiological property, and thus is used as an integrative index in crop breeding. It... -
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,... -
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... -
Seasonal and diurnal patterns of non-structural carbohydrates in source and s...
Background Carbohydrate partitioning and utilization is a key determinant of growth rate and of yield in plants and crops. There are few studies on crops in field conditions. In... -
KnetMaps: a BioJS component to visualize biological knowledge networks
KnetMaps is a BioJS component for the interactive visualization of biological knowledge networks. It is well suited for applications that need to visualise complementary,... -
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... -
Allelic variants of OsSUB1A cause differential expression of transcription fa...
Background Flooding during seasonal monsoons affects millions of hectares of rice-cultivated areas across Asia. Submerged rice plants die within a week due to lack of oxygen,... -
Unravelling mycorrhiza-induced wheat susceptibility to the English grain aphi...
Unravelling mycorrhiza-induced wheat susceptibility to the English grain aphid Sitobion avenae -
The emergent rhizosphere: imaging the development of the porous architecture ...
The rhizosphere is the zone of soil influenced by a plant root and is critical for plant health and nutrient acquisition. All below ground resources must pass through this... -
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... -
Spatiotemporal expression patterns of wheat amino acid transporters reveal th...
Amino acid transporters have roles in amino acid uptake from soil, long-distance transport, remobilization from vegetative tissues and accumulation in grain. Critically, the... -
Exploring traditional aus-type rice for metabolites conferring drought tolerance
Background Traditional varieties and landraces belonging to the aus-type group of rice (Oryza sativa L.) are known to be highly tolerant to environmental stresses, such as... -
Inter-genome comparison of the Quorn fungus Fusarium venenatum and the closel...
The soil dwelling saprotrophic non-pathogenic fungus Fusarium venenatum, routinely used in the commercial fermentation industry, is phylogenetically closely related to the... -
Stability of wheat grain yields over three field seasons in the UK
Ensuring food security in a changing climate is a major contemporary challenge and requires development of climate‐resilient crops that perform well under variable environments.... -
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...
