Advances in Barley Breeding for Improving Nitrogen Use Efficiency
Crop breeding for high nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) or tolerance to low nitrogen fertilization is thought to be an ideal solution to reduce the cost, carbon footprint, and... -
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... -
Variation in the Content and Composition of Tocols in a Wheat Population
Wheat is a well-known source of B vitamins but also contains significant amounts of vitamin E and related tocols, which have a number of positive health benefits. However, there... -
Genetic Diversity in Nitrogen Fertiliser Responses and N Gas Emission in Mode...
Crops assimilate nitrogen (N) as ammonium via the glutamine synthetase/glutamate synthase (GS/GOGAT) pathway which is of central importance for N uptake and potentially... -
Characterisation of Grains and Flour Fractions from Field Grown Transgenic Oi...
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the major staple crops in the world and is used to prepare a range of foods. The development of new varieties with wider variation in... -
The Effects of Brief Heat During Early Booting on Reproductive, Developmental...
Rising temperatures due to climate change threaten agricultural crop productivity. As a cool-season crop, wheat is heat-sensitive, but often exposed to high temperatures during... -
Understanding the Relationships between Free Asparagine in Grain and Other Tr...
Since the discovery of acrylamide in food, and the identification of free asparagine as the key determinant of acrylamide concentration in wheat products, our understanding of... -
Ensembl Genomes 2022: an expanding genome resource for non-vertebrates
Abstract Ensembl Genomes (https://www.ensemblgenomes.org) provides access to non-vertebrate genomes and analysis complementing vertebrate resources developed by the Ensembl... -
PHI-base in 2022: a multi-species phenotype database for Pathogen–Host Intera...
Abstract Since 2005, the Pathogen–Host Interactions Database (PHI-base) has manually curated experimentally verified pathogenicity, virulence and effector genes from fungal,... -
Disruption of the Nα-Acetyltransferase NatB Causes Sensitivity to Reductive S...
In Arabidopsis thaliana, the evolutionary conserved N-terminal acetyltransferase (Nat) complexes NatA and NatB co-translationally acetylate 60% of the proteome. Both have... -
Next Generation dsRNA-Based Insect Control: Success So Far and Challenges
RNA interference (RNAi) is a method of gene silencing where dsRNA is digested into small interfering RNA (siRNA) in the presence of enzymes. These siRNAs then target homologous... -
Rapid Generation and Analysis of a Barley Doubled Haploid Line with Higher Ni...
Creating varieties with high nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is crucial for sustainable agriculture development. In this study, a superior barley doubled haploid line (named DH45)... -
Effect of Intake of Food Hydrocolloids of Bacterial Origin on the Glycemic Re...
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition characterized by increased blood glucose levels from dysfunctional carbohydrate metabolism. Dietary intervention can help to prevent and... -
Using ensemble-mean climate scenarios for future crop yield projections: a st...
Using climate scenarios from only 1 or a small number of global climate models (GCMs) in climate change impact studies may lead to biased assessment due to large uncertainty in... -
Wheat ATIs: Characteristics and Role in Human Disease
Amylase/trypsin-inhibitors (ATIs) comprise about 2–4% of the total wheat grain proteins and may contribute to natural defense against pests and pathogens. However, they are... -
Improving Nitrogen Use Efficiency Through Overexpression of Alanine Aminotran...
Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plants, but crop plants are inefficient in the acquisition and utilization of applied nitrogen. This often results in producers over... -
A Neural Network Method for Classification of Sunlit and Shaded Components of...
(1) Background: Information rich hyperspectral sensing, together with robust image analysis, is providing new research pathways in plant phenotyping. This combination... -
Effect of Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria on the Growth of Wheat Seedlings Su...
Certain phosphorous solubilizing (PSB) and phosphorous mineralizing (PMB) bacteria may improve plant growth by improving nutrient availability. The aim of this work was to... -
Trehalose 6-phosphate signalling and impact on crop yield
The domestication and breeding of crops has been a major achievement for mankind enabling the development of stable societies and civilisation. Crops have become more productive... -
CRISPR-Cas9 Multiplex Editing of the α-Amylase/Trypsin Inhibitor Genes to Red...
Wheat and its derived foods are widespread, representing one of the main food sources globally. During the last decades, the incidence of disorders related to wheat has become a...
