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... -
PHI-base: the pathogen–host interactions database
Abstract The pathogen–host interactions database (PHI-base) is available at www.phi-base.org. PHI-base contains expertly curated molecular and biological information on genes... -
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... -
Seasonal and diurnal patterns of non-structural carbohydrates in source and s...
Background Carbohydrate partitioning and utilization is a key determinant of growth rate and of yield in plants and crops. There are few studies on crops in field conditions. In... -
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... -
Transcriptional response of rice flag leaves to restricted external phosphoru...
Plant phosphorus (P) remobilisation during leaf senescence has fundamental implications for global P cycle fluxes. Hypothesising that genes involved in remobilisation of P from... -
KnetMaps: a BioJS component to visualize biological knowledge networks
KnetMaps is a BioJS component for the interactive visualization of biological knowledge networks. It is well suited for applications that need to visualise complementary,... -
Remobilisation of phosphorus fractions in rice flag leaves during grain filli...
Phosphorus (P) is translocated from vegetative tissues to developing seeds during senescence in annual crop plants, but the impact of this P mobilisation on photosynthesis and... -
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... -
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... -
Legislation governing genetically modified and genome‐edited crops in Europe:...
The European Commission's assessment and approval process for genetically modified (GM) crops has resulted in only two GM crop varieties being licensed for cultivation in the... -
A conserved fungal glycosyltransferase facilitates pathogenesis of plants by ...
Pathogenic fungi must extend filamentous hyphae across solid surfaces to cause diseases of plants. However, the full inventory of genes which support this is incomplete and many... -
Elite UK winter wheat cultivars differ in their ability to support the coloni...
In numerous countries, Gaeumannomyces species, within the Magnaporthaceae family, have previously been implicated in the suppression of take-all root disease in wheat. A UK... -
Inter-genome comparison of the Quorn fungus Fusarium venenatum and the closel...
The soil dwelling saprotrophic non-pathogenic fungus Fusarium venenatum, routinely used in the commercial fermentation industry, is phylogenetically closely related to the... -
Stability of wheat grain yields over three field seasons in the UK
Ensuring food security in a changing climate is a major contemporary challenge and requires development of climate‐resilient crops that perform well under variable environments.... -
Drought stress affects the protein and dietary fiber content of wholemeal whe...
Wild relatives of wheat, such as Aegilops spp. are potential sources of genes conferring tolerance to drought stress. As drought stress affects seed composition, the main goal... -
Non-canonical fungal G-protein coupled receptors promote Fusarium head blight...
Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) is the number one floral disease of cereals and poses a serious health hazard by contaminating grain with the harmful mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON).... -
Drought tolerance during reproductive development is important for increasing...
Drought stress during reproductive development could drastically reduce wheat grain number and yield, but quantitative evaluation of such an effect is unknown under climate... -
Beyond the one-way ANOVA for ’omics data
With ever increasing accessibility to high throughput technologies, more complex treatment structures can be assessed in a variety of ’omics applications. This adds an extra...
