Genetic control of iron bioavailability is independent from iron concentratio...
Abstract Background Anemia is thought to affect up to 1.6 billion people worldwide. One of the major contributors to low iron (Fe) absorption is a higher proportion of cereals... -
Editorial: State-of-the-Art Technology and Applications in Crop Phenomics
Together with the rise of whole-genome sequencing of many plant species, large-scale and high-throughput plant phenotyping (HTP), as well as associated phenotypic analysis, has... -
Mapping Agronomic and Quality Traits in Elite Durum Wheat Lines under Differi...
Final grain production and quality in durum wheat are affected by biotic and abiotic stresses. The association mapping (AM) approach is useful for dissecting the genetic control... -
Implementing within‐cross genomic prediction to reduce oat breeding costs
A barrier to the adoption of genomic prediction in small breeding programs is the initial cost of genotyping material. Although decreasing, marker costs are usually higher than... -
A roadmap for gene functional characterisation in crops with large genomes: L...
Understanding the function of genes within staple crops will accelerate crop improvement by allowing targeted breeding approaches. Despite their importance, a lack of genomic... -
Identification of Quantitative Trait Loci Relating to Flowering Time, Flag Le...
Tetraploid landraces of wheat harbour genetic diversity that could be introgressed into modern bread wheat with the aid of marker-assisted selection to address the genetic... -
Outlook for coeliac disease patients: towards bread wheat with hypoimmunogeni...
Background Wheat grains contain gluten proteins, which harbour immunogenic epitopes that trigger Coeliac disease in 1–2% of the human population. Wheat varieties or accessions... -
Long Non-Coding RNAs as Endogenous Target Mimics and Exploration of Their Rol...
Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) research in plants has recently gained momentum taking cues from studies in animals systems. The availability of next-generation sequencing has... -
Investigating the potential of novel non-woven fabrics for efficient pollinat...
Plant breeding is achieved through the controlled self- or cross-pollination of individuals and typically involves isolation of floral parts from selected parental plants.... -
Functional Mapping of Quantitative Trait Loci (QTLs) Associated With Plant Pe...
In crop genetic studies, the mapping of longitudinal data describing the spatio-temporal nature of agronomic traits can potentially elucidate the factors influencing their...
