The identification of new candidate genes Triticum aestivum FLOWERING LOCUS T...
Perception of photoperiod changes enables plants to flower under optimum conditions for survival. We used doubled haploid populations of crosses among Avalon × Cadenza, Charger... -
Conserved residues in the wheat (Triticum aestivum) NAM-A1 NAC domain are req...
NAC transcription factors contain five highly conserved subdomains which are required for protein dimerisation and DNA binding. Few residues within these subdomains have been... -
Generation of Loss-of-Function Mutants for Wheat Rust Disease Resistance Gene...
One of the most important tools to identify and validate rust resistance gene function is by producing loss-of-function mutants. Mutants can be produced using irradiation,... -
Physiological determinants of fertile floret survival in wheat as affected by...
Variations in wheat yield are largely explained by changes in grain number per m2 which is linked to the number of fertile florets at anthesis. This, in turn is the outcome of... -
Plant Genomics: Unlocking the Genome of Wheat’s Progenitor
The genome sequence and analysis of wheat’s progenitor provides a roadmap to enhance genomics-assisted breeding and improvement of modern wheat varieties. -
Earliness per se effects on developmental traits in hexaploid wheat grown und...
Earliness per se (Eps) genes are critical for fine-tuning flowering time and likely to modify other developmental traits as well. Effects of Eps alleles on components comprising... -
Reduced response diversity does not negatively impact wheat climate resilience
Kahiluoto et al. assert that climate resilience in European wheat has declined due to current breeding practices. To support this alarming claim, the authors report yield... -
A Co-Expression Network in Hexaploid Wheat Reveals Mostly Balanced Expression...
Polyploidization has played an important role in plant evolution. However, upon polyploidization, the process of meiosis must adapt to ensure the proper segregation of increased... -
Aegilops tauschii diversity panel
This is the raw data from whole genome shotgun sequencing of 150 accessions of Aegilops tauschii, a wild relative of wheat. The sequence coverage is between 10 and 30 fold. Most... -
Aegilops tauschii diversity panel - Lineage 1
Whole genome shotgun sequencing of 110 lines of Aegilops tauschii, exclusively of lineage 1. The sequence coverage is around 10 fold. The raw data folder of each accession is... -
Meiosis transcriptome and co-expression network in hexaploid wheat
Polyploidization is a fundamental process in plant evolution. One of the biggest challenges faced by a new polyploid is meiosis, particularly discriminating between multiple... -
Germplasm Development for Trait Dissection - Initial QTL Validation
Phenotype data for QTL beneficial allele validation using Near Isogenic Lines (NILs) from growing season Oct 2017 - Aug 2018 at Church Farm, John Innes Centre, Norwich, UK, for... -
Validation and characterisation of a wheat GENIE3 network using an independen...
Gene regulatory networks are powerful tools which facilitate hypothesis generation and candidate gene discovery. However, the extent to which the network predictions are... -
Development of mlo-based resistance in tetraploid wheat against wheat powdery...
Powdery mildew is a severe disease in wheat. In barley, durable resistance exists, based on non-functionality of the Mlo gene. As a model to analyse the effects of mutagenesis... -
Global transcriptome analysis uncovers the gene co-expression regulation netw...
Wheat grain development is a robust biological process that largely determines grain quality and yield. In this study, we investigated the grain transcriptome of winter wheat... -
The transcriptional landscape of polyploid wheat
The coordinated expression of highly related homoeologous genes in polyploid species underlies the phenotypes of many of the world’s major crops. Here we combine extensive gene... -
Resistance gene cloning from a wild crop relative by sequence capture and ass...
Genetic resistance is the most economic and environmentally sustainable approach for crop disease protection. Disease resistance (R) genes from wild relatives are a valuable... -
Speed breeding is a powerful tool to accelerate crop research and breeding
The growing human population and a changing environment have raised significant concern for global food security, with the current improvement rate of several important crops... -
Magnesium Increases Homoeologous Crossover Frequency During Meiosis in ZIP4 (...
Wild relatives provide an important source of useful traits in wheat breeding. Wheat and wild relative hybrids have been widely used in breeding programs to introduce such... -
Rapid Gene Isolation Using MutChromSeq
MutChromSeq is an approach for isolation of genes and DNA sequences controlling gene expression in plants with complex and polyploid genomes. It involves a lossless complexity...
