Increased and ectopic expression of Triticum polonicum VRT-A2 underlies elong...
Flower development is a major determinant of yield in crops. In wheat, natural variation for the size of spikelet and floral organs is particularly evident in Triticum... -
The vesicular trafficking system component MIN7 is required for minimizing Fu...
Plants have developed intricate defense mechanisms, referred to as innate immunity, to defend themselves against a wide range of pathogens. Plants often respond rapidly to... -
Future agroclimatic conditions and implications for European grasslands
Grasslands play a significant role in livestock fodder production and thus, contribute to food security worldwide while providing numerous additional ecosystem services.... -
Uncovering candidate genes involved in photosynthetic capacity using unexplor...
To feed an ever-increasing population we must leverage advances in genomics and phenotyping to harness the variation in wheat breeding populations for traits like photosynthetic... -
Advances in the understanding of nitrogen (N) uptake by plant roots
Efficient use of nitrogen (N) by plants and particularly crops, is of global importance. In agriculture, high crop yields and protein content depend upon extensive N-inputs,... -
Remarkable recent changes in genetic diversity of the avirulence gene AvrStb6...
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... -
Extensive Genetic Variation at the Sr22 Wheat Stem Rust Resistance Gene Locus...
In the last 20 years, severe wheat stem rust outbreaks have been recorded in Africa, Europe, and Central Asia. This previously well controlled disease, caused by the fungus... -
The vesicular trafficking system component MIN7 is required for minimizing Fu...
Plants have developed intricate defense mechanisms, referred to as innate immunity, to defend themselves against a wide range of pathogens. Plants often respond rapidly to... -
Virus-mediated transient expression techniques enable genetic modification of...
Even though considerable progress has been made in weed ecology, weed molecular biology has been hindered by an inability to genetically manipulate weeds. Genetic manipulation... -
Hidden variation in polyploid wheat drives local adaptation
Wheat has been domesticated into a large number of agricultural environments and has the ability to adapt to diverse environments. To understand this process, we survey...
