Meiotic Recombination and DNA Repair: New Approaches to Solve Old Questions i...
Accurate segregation of chromosomes at the first meiotic division relies upon the establishment of physical connections between homologous chromosomes, which with a few... -
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... -
Differentiated function and localisation of SPO11-1 and PRD3 on the chromosom...
During meiosis, DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) occur throughout the genome, a subset of which are repaired to form reciprocal crossovers between chromosomes. Crossovers are... -
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... -
Advances in Barley Breeding for Improving Nitrogen Use Efficiency
Crop breeding for high nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) or tolerance to low nitrogen fertilization is thought to be an ideal solution to reduce the cost, carbon footprint, and... -
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... -
Variation in the Content and Composition of Tocols in a Wheat Population
Wheat is a well-known source of B vitamins but also contains significant amounts of vitamin E and related tocols, which have a number of positive health benefits. However, there... -
Genetic Diversity in Nitrogen Fertiliser Responses and N Gas Emission in Mode...
Crops assimilate nitrogen (N) as ammonium via the glutamine synthetase/glutamate synthase (GS/GOGAT) pathway which is of central importance for N uptake and potentially... -
Characterisation of Grains and Flour Fractions from Field Grown Transgenic Oi...
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the major staple crops in the world and is used to prepare a range of foods. The development of new varieties with wider variation in... -
The Effects of Brief Heat During Early Booting on Reproductive, Developmental...
Rising temperatures due to climate change threaten agricultural crop productivity. As a cool-season crop, wheat is heat-sensitive, but often exposed to high temperatures during... -
Understanding the Relationships between Free Asparagine in Grain and Other Tr...
Since the discovery of acrylamide in food, and the identification of free asparagine as the key determinant of acrylamide concentration in wheat products, our understanding of... -
Ensembl Genomes 2022: an expanding genome resource for non-vertebrates
Abstract Ensembl Genomes (https://www.ensemblgenomes.org) provides access to non-vertebrate genomes and analysis complementing vertebrate resources developed by the Ensembl... -
PHI-base in 2022: a multi-species phenotype database for Pathogen–Host Intera...
Abstract Since 2005, the Pathogen–Host Interactions Database (PHI-base) has manually curated experimentally verified pathogenicity, virulence and effector genes from fungal,... -
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.... -
Disruption of the Nα-Acetyltransferase NatB Causes Sensitivity to Reductive S...
In Arabidopsis thaliana, the evolutionary conserved N-terminal acetyltransferase (Nat) complexes NatA and NatB co-translationally acetylate 60% of the proteome. Both have... -
Methodology to assess the changing risk of yield failure due to heat and drou...
While the understanding of average impacts of climate change on crop yields is improving, few assessments have quantified expected impacts on yield distributions and the risk of... -
Exploring the diversity of promoter and 5’UTR sequences in ancestral, histori...
A dataset of promoter and 5’UTR sequences of homoeo-alleles of 495 wheat genes that contribute to agriculturally important traits in 95 ancestral and commercial wheat cultivars... -
Next Generation dsRNA-Based Insect Control: Success So Far and Challenges
RNA interference (RNAi) is a method of gene silencing where dsRNA is digested into small interfering RNA (siRNA) in the presence of enzymes. These siRNAs then target homologous... -
Improving Photosynthetic Metabolism for Crop Yields: What Is Going to Work?
Photosynthesis is an indispensable process that provides the oxygen we breathe, regulates climate, and drives biological processes including crop yields. An important and... -
RNAi suppression of xylan synthase genes in wheat starchy endosperm
The xylan backbone of arabinoxylan (AX), the major cell wall polysaccharide in the wheat starchy endosperm, is synthesised by xylan synthase which is a complex of three subunits...
