Addressing challenges for barley production and utilisation in the 21st Century
Although barley falls far behind the “big three” cereals (maize, rice and wheat) in total global production it is one of the most widely grown cereals in the world, being grown... -
Enhanced Plant Rooting and Crop System Management for Improved N Use Efficiency
Despite the significant inroads into increasing agricultural productivity in recent decades, nitrogen remains a key limiting factor for crop growth and yield. Though highly... -
New modelling technique for improving crop model performance - Application to...
Crop models simulate growth and development and they are often used for climate change applications. However, they have a variable skill in the simulation of crop responses to... -
Evaluation of the prebiotic potential of arabinoxylans extracted from wheat d...
Distillers’ dried grains with solubles (DDGS) is a low-value agro-industrial by-product, rich in arabinoxylans (AX), which is produced by commercial distillery and bioethanol... -
Development and characterisation of protein films derived from dried distille...
Polymer films were developed utilising proteins extracted from wheat distillers’ dried grains with solubles (DDGS) and in-process samples (wet solids), both by-products of... -
Crop model improvement reduces the uncertainty of the response to temperature...
To improve climate change impact estimates and to quantify their uncertainty, multi-model ensembles (MMEs) have been suggested. Model improvements can improve the accuracy of... -
Are GM Crops for Yield and Resilience Possible?
Crop yield improvements need to accelerate to avoid future food insecurity. Outside Europe, genetically modified (GM) crops for herbicide- and insect-resistance have been... -
A novel gibberellin promotes seedling establishment
A previously unknown biologically active gibberellin present in seeds of Arabidopsis thaliana is formed by hydration of the gibberellin precursor GA12 through the action of... -

Advances in sorghum and millet research special issue
Although sorghum and millets (which comprise a number of species) are only fifth and sixth, respectively, in terms of global production (after maize, rice, wheat and barley),... -
The uncertainty of crop yield projections is reduced by improved temperature ...
Increasing the accuracy of crop productivity estimates is a key element in planning adaptation strategies to ensure global food security under climate change. Process-based crop... -
Sharing mutants and experimental information prepublication using FgMutantDb ...
There is no comprehensive storage for generated mutants of Fusarium graminearum or data associated with these mutants. Instead, researchers relied on several independent and... -
Modelling daily to seasonal carbon fluxes and annual net ecosystem carbon bal...
Croplands are important not only for food and fibre, but also for their global climate change mitigation and carbon (C) sequestration potentials. Measurements and modelling of... -

Intrinsic wheat lipid composition effects the interfacial and foaming propert...
Doughs were prepared from a single variety breadmaking flour (cv. Hereward), from three successive harvests (years; 2011, 2012 and 2013). A preparation of the aqueous phase from... -
The role of ZIP transporters and group F bZIP transcription factors in the Zn...
FULL TEXT Abstract: Understanding the molecular basis of zinc (Zn) uptake and transport in staple cereal crops is critical for improving both Zn content and... -
Comparison of the dietary fibre composition of old and modern durum wheat (Tr...
It has been suggested that intensive breeding has led to decreased contents of health-promoting components in modern wheats. We therefore compared the contents and compositions... -
Foliar N application at anthesis alters grain protein composition and enhance...
Wheat is the second biggest staple crop worldwide and is mainly consumed in the form of baked goods, requiring a specific flour quality. Grain protein concentration (GPC) is an... -
In vitro fermentability of xylo -oligosaccharide and xylo -polysaccharide fra...
Xylo-oligosaccharides and xylo-polysaccharides (XOS, XPS) produced by autohydrolysis of the fibre from oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) were purified using gel filtration...
