Comparative compositions of metabolites and dietary fibre components in dough...
Wholemeal flours from blends of bread wheat, emmer and spelt were processed into bread using yeast-based and sourdough fermentation. The bread wheat flour contained... -
Diffuse water pollution during recent extreme wet-weather in the UK: Environm...
Periods of extreme wet-weather elevate agricultural diffuse water pollutant loads and climate projections for the UK suggest wetter winters. Within this context, we monitored... -
Exploiting genomics to improve the benefits of wheat: Prospects and limitations
Conventional breeding has been immensely successful in increasing crop production to meet the demands of the growing global population, particularly for wheat where production... -
Localisation of iron and zinc in grain of biofortified wheat
The dietary contributions of iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) from cereals are determined by concentrations, locations and chemical forms. A genetically biofortified wheat line showed... -
Recoverable resources from pot ale and spent wash from Scotch Whisky production
Scotch Whisky is an important global commodity which generates extensive co-product known as pot ale or spent wash (> 10 L co-product per L whisky). Whilst this is often used... -
The effect of organic carbon content on soil compression characteristics
We investigated the effect of soil organic carbon (SOC) on the consolidation behaviour of soil from two long term field experiments at Rothamsted; the Broadbalk Wheat Experiment... -
Wheat glutenin polymers 1. structure, assembly and properties
The importance of wheat glutenin polymers in determining the processing quality of wheat is generally accepted. Similarly, genetic and molecular studies have provided detailed... -
Progress towards the production of potatoes and cereals with low acrylamide-f...
The presence of acrylamide in foods derived from grains, tubers, storage roots, beans and other crop products has become a difficult problem for the food industry. Here we... -
The location of iron and zinc in grain of conventional and biofortified lines...
Sorghum is an important source of dietary iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) in parts of Africa and India, but there is a need to increase their concentrations to meet dietary... -
Simulation of winter wheat response to variable sowing dates and densities in...
Abstract Crop multi-model ensembles (MME) have proven to be effective in increasing the accuracy of simulations in modelling experiments. However, the ability of MME to capture... -
Evaluation of the susceptibility of modern, wild, ancestral, and mutational w...
Globally, bread wheat production is threatened by fungal diseases, including the devastating disease Septoria tritici blotch (STB). Given the global importance of STB, and the... -
Population genomic analysis of Aegilops tauschii identifies targets for bread...
AbstractAegilops tauschii, the diploid wild progenitor of the D subgenome of bread wheat, is a reservoir of genetic diversity for improving bread wheat performance and... -
ENHANCED GRAVITROPISM 2 encodes a STERILE ALPHA MOTIF-containing protein that...
Significance To date, the potential of utilizing root traits in plant breeding remains largely untapped. In this study, we cloned and characterized the ENHANCED... -
Wheat root systems as a breeding target for climate resilience
AbstractIn the coming decades, larger genetic gains in yield will be necessary to meet projected demand, and this must be achieved despite the destabilizing impacts of climate... -
Crossover-active regions of the wheat genome are distinguished by DMC1, the c...
The hexaploid bread wheat genome comprises over 16 gigabases of sequence across 21 chromosomes. Meiotic crossovers are highly polarized along the chromosomes, with elevation in... -
Distribution of <i>Puccinia striiformis</i> f. sp. <i>tritici</i> Races and V...
Stripe rust, caused by the fungal pathogen Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, is a major threat to wheat (Triticum spp.) production worldwide. The objective of this study was... -
What are the regulatory targets for intervention in assimilate partitioning t...
Sucrose utilisation for the synthesis of cellular components involved in growth and development and the accumulation of biomass determines diversity in the plant kingdom;... -
The impact of weather and increased atmospheric CO <sub>2</sub> from 1892 t...
Climate change effects on UK winter wheat grain yield are complex: warmer temperature, negative; greater carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) concentration, positive; but other... -
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...
