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... -
The interaction between wheat roots and soil pores in structured field soil
Abstract Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) root growth in the subsoil is usually constrained by soil strength, although roots can use macropores to elongate to deeper layers. The... -
Enabling reusability of plant phenomic datasets with MIAPPE 1.1
Enabling data reuse and knowledge discovery is increasingly critical in modern science, and requires an effort towards standardising data publication practices. This is... -
Expecting the unexpected: factors influencing the emergence of fungal and oom...
In recent years, the number of emergent plant pathogens (EPPs) has grown substantially, threatening agroecosystem stability and native biodiversity. Contributing factors... -
Variation in key leaf photosynthetic traits across wheat wild relatives is ac...
The wild relatives of modern wheat represent an underutilized source of genetic and phenotypic diversity and are of interest in breeding owing to their wide adaptation to... -
Misexpression of a transcriptional repressor candidate provides a molecular m...
Abstract Awns are bristle-like structures formed at the tip of the lemma on the florets of some cereal grasses. Wild-type wheat is awned, but awnletted and awnless variants... -
The contribution of fiber components to water absorption of wheat grown in th...
The water absorption (WA) of white wheat flour is a major factor affecting processing quality, and millers, therefore, process their wheat to achieve the required level.... -
Time‐intensive geoelectrical monitoring under winter wheat
Several studies have explored the potential of electrical resistivity tomography to monitor changes in soil moisture associated with the root water uptake of different crops.... -
Phylogeny and gene expression of the complete NITRATE TRANSPORTER 1/PEPTIDE T...
Abstract NPF genes encode membrane transporters involved in the transport of a large variety of substrates including nitrate and peptides. The NPF gene family has been... -
Soil strength influences wheat root interactions with soil macropores
Deep rooting is critical for access to water and nutrients found in subsoil. However, damage to soil structure and the natural increase in soil strength with depth, often... -
Functional QTL mapping and genomic prediction of canopy height in wheat measu...
Genetic studies increasingly rely on high-throughput phenotyping, but the resulting longitudinal data pose analytical challenges. We used canopy height data from an automated... -
Acrylamide in food: Progress in and prospects for genetic and agronomic solut...
Acrylamide is a processing contaminant and Group 2a carcinogen that was discovered in foodstuffs in 2002. Its presence in a range of popular foods has become one of the most... -
Banishing barberry: The history of Berberis vulgaris prevalence and wheat ste...
Wheat stem rust, caused by the fungus Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt), is a notoriously damaging disease of wheat and barley. Pgt requires two hosts to complete its... -
Characterisation of bird cherry‐oat aphid ( Rhopalosiphum padi L.) behaviou...
The bird cherry‐oat aphid (Rhopalosiphum padi L.) is a major pest of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and can cause up to 30% yield losses. Heritable plant resistance to aphids is... -
A roadmap for gene functional characterisation in wheat
Research in Arabidopsis and other model species has uncovered mechanisms regulating important biological processes in plants. With the advent of high quality functional genomic... -
The role of plant species and soil condition in the structural development of...
Roots naturally exert axial and radial pressures during growth, which alter the structural arrangement of soil at the root–soil interface. However, empirical models suggest soil... -
Improving wheat as a source of iron and zinc for global nutrition
Wheat is the staple food crop in temperate countries and increasingly consumed in developing countries, displacing traditional foods. However, wheat products are typically low... -
Dynamics of floret initiation/death determining spike fertility in wheat as a...
As wheat yield is linearly related to grain number, understanding the physiological determinants of the number of fertile florets based on floret development dynamics due to the... -
Temperature and nitrogen supply interact to determine protein distribution gr...
Gradients exist in the distribution of storage proteins in the wheat (Triticum aestivum) endosperm and determine the milling properties and protein recovery rate of the grain. A...
