Differentiated function and localisation of SPO11-1 and PRD3 on the chromosom...
During meiosis, DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) occur throughout the genome, a subset of which are repaired to form reciprocal crossovers between chromosomes. Crossovers are... -
RNAi suppression of xylan synthase genes in wheat starchy endosperm
The xylan backbone of arabinoxylan (AX), the major cell wall polysaccharide in the wheat starchy endosperm, is synthesised by xylan synthase which is a complex of three subunits... -
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... -
Global Wheat Head Detection 2021: An Improved Dataset for Benchmarking Wheat ...
The Global Wheat Head Detection (GWHD) dataset was created in 2020 and has assembled 193,634 labelled wheat heads from 4700 RGB images acquired from various acquisition... -
Genome-wide identification of sucrose nonfermenting-1-related protein kinase ...
Abstract Background Sucrose nonfermenting-1 (SNF1)-related protein kinases (SnRKs) play important roles in regulating metabolism and stress responses in plants, providing a... -
Wheat amino acid transporters highly expressed in grain cells regulate amino ...
Amino acids are delivered into developing wheat grains to support the accumulation of storage proteins in the starchy endosperm, and transporters play important roles in... -
Global Wheat Head Detection (GWHD) Dataset: A Large and Diverse Dataset of Hi...
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... -
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.... -
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... -
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... -
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.... -
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... -
Transitions in wheat endosperm metabolism upon transcriptional induction of o...
Cereal grains, including wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), are major sources of food and feed, with wheat being dominant in temperate zones. These end uses exploit the storage... -
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.... -
Loss of TaIRX9b gene function in wheat decreases chain length and amount of a...
Wheat contains abundant xylan in cell walls of all tissues, but in endosperm, there is an unusual form of xylan substituted only by arabinose (arabinoxylan; AX) that has long... -
Novel low-nitrogen stress-responsive long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) in barley ...
Reducing the dependence of crop production on chemical fertilizer with its associated costs, carbon footprint and other environmental problems is a challenge for agriculture.... -
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...
