Sucrose utilisation for the synthesis of cellular components involved in growth and development and the accumulation of biomass determines diversity in the plant kingdom;... -
The impact of weather and increased atmospheric CO <sub>2</sub> from 1892 t...
Climate change effects on UK winter wheat grain yield are complex: warmer temperature, negative; greater carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) concentration, positive; but other... -
Genotypic differences in wheat yield determinants within a NAM population bas...
Future grain yield (GY) improvements require the identification of beneficial traits within the context of high yield potential and not just based on the pleiotropic effect of... -
Remarkable recent changes in the genetic diversity of the avirulence gene Avr...
Septoria tritici blotch (STB), caused by the fungus Zymoseptoria tritici, is one of the most economically important diseases of wheat. Recently, both factors of a gene-for-gene... -
Cereal asparagine synthetase genes
Asparagine synthetase catalyses the transfer of an amino group from glutamine to aspartate to form glutamate and asparagine. The accumulation of free (nonprotein) asparagine in... -
Global Wheat Head Detection 2021: An Improved Dataset for Benchmarking Wheat ...
The Global Wheat Head Detection (GWHD) dataset was created in 2020 and has assembled 193,634 labelled wheat heads from 4700 RGB images acquired from various acquisition... -
Local impacts of climate change on winter wheat in Great Britain
Under future CMIP5 climate change scenarios for 2050, an increase in wheat yield of about 10% is predicted in Great Britain (GB) as a result of the combined effect of CO 2... -
Dynamic simulation of management events for assessing impacts of climate chan...
The productivity of permanent temperate cut grasslands is mainly driven by weather, soil characteristics, botanical composition and management. To adapt management to climate... -
Subcellular dynamics studies of iron reveal how tissue‐specific distribution ...
Understanding the mechanisms of iron trafficking in plants is key to enhancing the nutritional quality of crops. Because it is difficult to image iron in transit, we currently... -
N-terminal truncated RHT-1 proteins generated by translational reinitiation c...
The unprecedented wheat yield increases during the Green Revolution were achieved through the introduction of the Reduced height (Rht)-B1b and Rht-D1b semi-dwarfing alleles.... -
KnetMiner: a comprehensive approach for supporting evidence‐based gene discov...
The generation of new ideas and scientific hypotheses is often the result of extensive literature and database searches, but, with the growing wealth of public and private... -
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... -
Gene‐based mapping of trehalose biosynthetic pathway genes reveals associatio...
Trehalose 6-phosphate (T6P) signalling regulates carbon use and allocation and is a target to improve crop yields. However, the specific contributions of trehalose phosphate... -
Take-All Disease: New Insights into an Important Wheat Root Pathogen
Take-all disease, caused by the fungal root pathogen Gaeumannomyces tritici, is considered to be the most important root disease of wheat worldwide. Here we review the advances... -
Resistance to wheat rusts identified in wheat/ Amblyopyrum muticum chromosome...
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) rusts are a worldwide production problem. Plant breeders have used genetic resistance to combat these fungi. However, single-gene resistance is... -
Wheat with greatly reduced accumulation of free asparagine in the grain, prod...
Free asparagine is the precursor for acrylamide, which forms during the baking, toasting and high-temperature processing of foods made from wheat. In this study, CRISPR/Cas9 was... -
A Roadmap for Lowering Crop Nitrogen Requirement
Increasing nitrogen fertilizer applications have sustained a growing world population in the 20th century. However, to avoid any further associated environmental damage, new... -
Implementing within‐cross genomic prediction to reduce oat breeding costs
A barrier to the adoption of genomic prediction in small breeding programs is the initial cost of genotyping material. Although decreasing, marker costs are usually higher than... -
A roadmap for gene functional characterisation in crops with large genomes: L...
Understanding the function of genes within staple crops will accelerate crop improvement by allowing targeted breeding approaches. Despite their importance, a lack of genomic... -
