Microbially synthesized nanoparticles: aspect in plant disease management
Nanotechnology plays a critical role in agriculture and its associated management strategies. The emergence of plant pathogens (phytopathogens) across various crops has posed a... -
Changes in agricultural climate in South-Eastern England from 1892 to 2016 an...
The long-term increasing trend of annual mean temperature is only one aspect of recent climate change. Other changes in climate, seen in within-year weather patterns relevant to... -
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;... -
Genotypic differences in wheat yield determinants within a NAM population bas...
Future grain yield (GY) improvements require the identification of beneficial traits within the context of high yield potential and not just based on the pleiotropic effect of... -
Pan-European multi-crop model ensemble simulations of wheat and grain maize u...
The simulated data set described in this paper was created by an ensemble of nine different crop models: HERMES (HE), Simplace<Lintul5,Slim3, FAO-56 ET0> (L5),... -
High molecular weight glutenin subunit (HMW-GS) 1Dx5 is concentrated in small...
The high molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GSs) are key determinants of the processing properties of wheat and over-expression of HMW-GS by transgenesis has therefore been... -
Dynamic simulation of management events for assessing impacts of climate chan...
The productivity of permanent temperate cut grasslands is mainly driven by weather, soil characteristics, botanical composition and management. To adapt management to climate... -
N-terminal truncated RHT-1 proteins generated by translational reinitiation c...
The unprecedented wheat yield increases during the Green Revolution were achieved through the introduction of the Reduced height (Rht)-B1b and Rht-D1b semi-dwarfing alleles.... -
Dissection of environmental and physiological effects on the temperature diff...
Temperature of a plant organ constitutes an integrative index to its eco-physiological properties and status. However, little attempt has been made to dissect the combined... -
Take-All Disease: New Insights into an Important Wheat Root Pathogen
Take-all disease, caused by the fungal root pathogen Gaeumannomyces tritici, is considered to be the most important root disease of wheat worldwide. Here we review the advances... -
A Roadmap for Lowering Crop Nitrogen Requirement
Increasing nitrogen fertilizer applications have sustained a growing world population in the 20th century. However, to avoid any further associated environmental damage, new... -
Assessing future drought risks and wheat yield losses in England
Droughts pose a major risk to agricultural production. By comparing the outputs from an ecophysiological crop model (Sirius) with four drought severity indicators (DSI), a... -
Characteristics of soil organic matter within an erosional landscape under ag...
The characteristics of soil organic matter (SOM) such as stocks, sources and stability, are important for understanding soil functioning and C cycling in an eroding field. In... -
Stability of farm income: The role of agricultural diversity and agri-environ...
Instability (or variability) in farm income represents a significant challenge for farm management and the design of public policies. Identifying farming practices which can... -
Accumulation and deposition of triacylglycerols in the starchy endosperm of w...
A combination of lipidomics, transcriptomics and bioimaging has been used to study triacylglycerol synthesis and deposition in the developing starchy endosperm of wheat. The... -
Understanding effects of genotype × environment × sowing window interactions ...
Durum wheat is one of the most important crops in the Mediterranean basin. The choice of the cultivar and the sowing time are key management practices that ensure high yield.... -
Dynamics of dry matter accumulation in internodes indicates source and sink r...
Storage of non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) in internode parenchyma before anthesis functions as a major carbon source for rice grain filling. In this study, two-year field... -
Sustainable Cropping Requires Adaptation to a Heterogeneous Rhizosphere
Root–soil interactions in the rhizosphere are central to resource acquisition and crop production in agricultural systems. However, apart from studies in idealized experimental... -
Increased bioavailability of phenolic acids and enhanced vascular function fo...
Clinical trial data have indicated an association between wholegrain consumption and a reduction in surrogate markers of cardiovascular disease. Phenolics present in wholegrain... -
Diversity of content and composition of cell wall-derived dietary fibre in po...
Rice, the staple food of more than half the world's population, is consumed mainly after polishing which removes beneficial components, particularly vitamins, minerals and...
