Differentiated function and localisation of SPO11-1 and PRD3 on the chromosom...
During meiosis, DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) occur throughout the genome, a subset of which are repaired to form reciprocal crossovers between chromosomes. Crossovers are... -
RNAi suppression of xylan synthase genes in wheat starchy endosperm
The xylan backbone of arabinoxylan (AX), the major cell wall polysaccharide in the wheat starchy endosperm, is synthesised by xylan synthase which is a complex of three subunits... -
Global Wheat Head Detection 2021: An Improved Dataset for Benchmarking Wheat ...
The Global Wheat Head Detection (GWHD) dataset was created in 2020 and has assembled 193,634 labelled wheat heads from 4700 RGB images acquired from various acquisition... -
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... -
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... -
Global Wheat Head Detection (GWHD) Dataset: A Large and Diverse Dataset of Hi...
The detection of wheat heads in plant images is an important task for estimating pertinent wheat traits including head population density and head characteristics such as... -
The role of vegetative cell fusions in the development and asexual reproducti...
The ability of fungal cells to undergo cell-to-cell communication and anastomosis, the process of vegetative hyphal fusion, allows them to maximize their overall fitness.... -
Combining yield potential and drought resilience in a spring wheat diversity ...
Pressures of population growth and climate change require the development of resilient higher yielding crops, particularly to drought. A spring wheat diversity panel was... -
Leaf to panicle ratio (LPR): a new physiological trait indicative of source a...
Identification and characterization of new traits with sound physiological foundation is essential for crop breeding and production management. Deep learning has been widely... -
Stress, nutrients and genotype: understanding and managing asparagine accumul...
Plant stress and poor crop management strategies compromise the foundations of food security: crop yield, nutritional quality and food safety. Accumulation of high... -
Transitions in wheat endosperm metabolism upon transcriptional induction of o...
Cereal grains, including wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), are major sources of food and feed, with wheat being dominant in temperate zones. These end uses exploit the storage... -
Loss of TaIRX9b gene function in wheat decreases chain length and amount of a...
Wheat contains abundant xylan in cell walls of all tissues, but in endosperm, there is an unusual form of xylan substituted only by arabinose (arabinoxylan; AX) that has long... -
Novel low-nitrogen stress-responsive long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) in barley ...
Reducing the dependence of crop production on chemical fertilizer with its associated costs, carbon footprint and other environmental problems is a challenge for agriculture.... -
PHI-base: the pathogen–host interactions database
Abstract The pathogen–host interactions database (PHI-base) is available at www.phi-base.org. PHI-base contains expertly curated molecular and biological information on genes... -
Seasonal and diurnal patterns of non-structural carbohydrates in source and s...
Background Carbohydrate partitioning and utilization is a key determinant of growth rate and of yield in plants and crops. There are few studies on crops in field conditions. In... -
Transcriptional response of rice flag leaves to restricted external phosphoru...
Plant phosphorus (P) remobilisation during leaf senescence has fundamental implications for global P cycle fluxes. Hypothesising that genes involved in remobilisation of P from... -
KnetMaps: a BioJS component to visualize biological knowledge networks
KnetMaps is a BioJS component for the interactive visualization of biological knowledge networks. It is well suited for applications that need to visualise complementary,... -
Remobilisation of phosphorus fractions in rice flag leaves during grain filli...
Phosphorus (P) is translocated from vegetative tissues to developing seeds during senescence in annual crop plants, but the impact of this P mobilisation on photosynthesis and... -
A conserved fungal glycosyltransferase facilitates pathogenesis of plants by ...
Pathogenic fungi must extend filamentous hyphae across solid surfaces to cause diseases of plants. However, the full inventory of genes which support this is incomplete and many... -
Inter-genome comparison of the Quorn fungus Fusarium venenatum and the closel...
The soil dwelling saprotrophic non-pathogenic fungus Fusarium venenatum, routinely used in the commercial fermentation industry, is phylogenetically closely related to the...
