The detection of wheat heads in plant images is an important task for estimating pertinent wheat traits including head population density and head characteristics such as... -
Effect of Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria on the Growth of Wheat Seedlings Su...
Certain phosphorous solubilizing (PSB) and phosphorous mineralizing (PMB) bacteria may improve plant growth by improving nutrient availability. The aim of this work was to... -
Improving starch and fibre in wheat grain for human health
Reducing the prevalence of diet-related diseases, including obesity and type 2 diabetes, is a major challenge for health professionals, food manufacturers and governments in... -
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... -
Contrasting gene expression patterns in grain of high and low asparagine whea...
Background Free asparagine is the precursor for acrylamide formation during cooking and processing of grains, tubers, beans and other crop products. In wheat grain, free... -
Stability analysis of wheat lines with increased level of arabinoxylan
Plant breeders have long sought to develop lines that combine outstanding performance with high and stable quality in different environments. The high-arabinoxylan (AX) Chinese... -
Cysteine and Methionine Biosynthetic Enzymes Have Distinct Effects on Seed Nu...
Staple crops in human and livestock diets suffer from deficiencies in certain “essential” amino acids including methionine. With the goal of increasing methionine in rice seed,... -
Editorial: Aegilops: Promising Genesources to Improve Agronomical and Quality...
Aegilops species have contributed significantly to wheat improvement despite the challenges in exploiting wild species, such as crossability and incompatibility (Börner et al.,... -
The role of vegetative cell fusions in the development and asexual reproducti...
The ability of fungal cells to undergo cell-to-cell communication and anastomosis, the process of vegetative hyphal fusion, allows them to maximize their overall fitness.... -
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... -
Combining yield potential and drought resilience in a spring wheat diversity ...
Pressures of population growth and climate change require the development of resilient higher yielding crops, particularly to drought. A spring wheat diversity panel was... -
Leaf to panicle ratio (LPR): a new physiological trait indicative of source a...
Identification and characterization of new traits with sound physiological foundation is essential for crop breeding and production management. Deep learning has been widely... -
CRISPR-Cas9 Multiplex Editing of the α-Amylase/Trypsin Inhibitor Genes to Red...
Wheat and its derived foods are widespread, representing one of the main food sources globally. During the last decades, the incidence of disorders related to wheat has become a... -
Mapping Coeliac Toxic Motifs in the Prolamin Seed Storage Proteins of Barley,...
Wheat gluten, and related prolamin proteins in rye, barley and oats cause the immune-mediated gluten intolerance syndrome, coeliac disease. Foods labelled as gluten-free which... -
The Sulphur Response in Wheat Grain and Its Implications for Acrylamide Forma...
Free (soluble, non-protein) asparagine concentration can increase many-fold in wheat grain in response to sulphur deficiency. This exacerbates a major food safety and regulatory... -
Impacts of G x E x M on Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Wheat and Future Prospects
Globally it has been estimated that only one third of applied N is recovered in the harvested component of grain crops. This represents an incredible waste of resource and the... -
Stress, nutrients and genotype: understanding and managing asparagine accumul...
Plant stress and poor crop management strategies compromise the foundations of food security: crop yield, nutritional quality and food safety. Accumulation of high...
