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... -
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... -
Subcellular dynamics studies of iron reveal how tissue‐specific distribution ...
Understanding the mechanisms of iron trafficking in plants is key to enhancing the nutritional quality of crops. Because it is difficult to image iron in transit, we currently... -
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.... -
KnetMiner: a comprehensive approach for supporting evidence‐based gene discov...
The generation of new ideas and scientific hypotheses is often the result of extensive literature and database searches, but, with the growing wealth of public and private... -
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... -
Gene‐based mapping of trehalose biosynthetic pathway genes reveals associatio...
Trehalose 6-phosphate (T6P) signalling regulates carbon use and allocation and is a target to improve crop yields. However, the specific contributions of trehalose phosphate... -
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... -
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... -
The relative abundance of wheat Rubisco activase isoforms is post-transcripti...
AbstractDiurnal rhythms and light availability affect transcription–translation feedback loops that regulate the synthesis of photosynthetic proteins. The CO2-fixing enzyme... -
Wheat with greatly reduced accumulation of free asparagine in the grain, prod...
Free asparagine is the precursor for acrylamide, which forms during the baking, toasting and high-temperature processing of foods made from wheat. In this study, CRISPR/Cas9 was... -
Editorial: CRISPR-Cas in Agriculture: Opportunities and Challenges
CRISPR-Cas genome editing technology is developing at a rapid pace and new molecular tools, such as CRISPR nucleases, are becoming regularly available. -
Future agroclimatic conditions and implications for European grasslands
Grasslands play a significant role in livestock fodder production and thus, contribute to food security worldwide while providing numerous additional ecosystem services.... -
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... -
Accounting for heterogeneity in the θ–σ relationship: Application to wheat ph...
Geophysical methods, such as electromagnetic induction (EMI), can be effective for monitoring changes in soil moisture at the field scale, particularly in agricultural... -
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... -
Vulnerability of European wheat to extreme heat and drought around flowering ...
Identifying the future threats to crop yields from climate change is vital to underpin the continuous production increases needed for global food security. In the present study,... -
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... -
Physical properties of a sandy soil as affected by incubation with a syntheti...
Plant roots release various organic materials that may modify soil structure and affect heat and mass transfer processes. The objective of this study was to determine the...
