Mapping Coeliac Toxic Motifs in the Prolamin Seed Storage Proteins of Barley,...
Wheat gluten, and related prolamin proteins in rye, barley and oats cause the immune-mediated gluten intolerance syndrome, coeliac disease. Foods labelled as gluten-free which... -
The Sulphur Response in Wheat Grain and Its Implications for Acrylamide Forma...
Free (soluble, non-protein) asparagine concentration can increase many-fold in wheat grain in response to sulphur deficiency. This exacerbates a major food safety and regulatory... -
Impacts of G x E x M on Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Wheat and Future Prospects
Globally it has been estimated that only one third of applied N is recovered in the harvested component of grain crops. This represents an incredible waste of resource and the... -
Evidence That Phosphorylation of the α-Subunit of eIF2 Does Not Essentially I...
A mechanism based on reversible phosphorylation of the α-subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2α) has been confirmed as an important regulatory pathway for the... -
Genome Sequence of Fusarium graminearum Strain CML3066, Isolated from a Wheat...
Fusarium graminearum is a global fungal pathogen of wheat and other small grains, causing Fusarium head blight (FHB) disease, also known as wheat scab. We report here the... -
High post-anthesis temperature effects on bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) ...
Abstract Background: High post-anthesis (p.a) temperatures reduce mature grain weight in wheat. However, the causes of this reduction are not entirely known. Control of grain... -
PHI-Nets: A Network Resource for Ascomycete Fungal Pathogens to Annotate and ...
Interactions between proteins underlie all aspects of complex biological mechanisms. Therefore, methodologies based on complex network analyses can facilitate identification of... -
Rubisco activation by wheat Rubisco activase isoform 2β is insensitive to inh...
Abstract Rubisco activase (Rca) is a catalytic chaperone that remodels the active site, promotes the release of inhibitors and restores catalytic competence to Rubisco. Rca... -
DeepCount: In-Field Automatic Quantification of Wheat Spikes Using Simple Lin...
Crop yield is an essential measure for breeders, researchers, and farmers and is composed of and may be calculated by the number of ears per square meter, grains per ear, and... -
Radiometric Calibration of ‘Commercial off the Shelf’ Cameras for UAV-Based H...
Vegetation indices, such as the Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), are common metrics used for measuring traits of interest in crop phenotyping. However, traditional... -
What Is Gluten—Why Is It Special?
Wheat gluten has an immense impact on human nutrition as it largely determines the processing properties of wheat flour, and in particular the ability to make leavened breads,... -
sRNA Profiling Combined With Gene Function Analysis Reveals a Lack of Evidenc...
Cross-kingdom small RNA (sRNA) silencing has recently emerged as a mechanism facilitating fungal colonization and disease development. Here we characterized RNAi pathways in... -
The adaptation of Fusarium culmorum to DMI Fungicides Is Mediated by Major Tr...
Fusarium culmorum is a fungal pathogen causing economically important diseases on a variety of crops. Fungicides can be applied to control this species with triazoles being the... -
Sequence Diversity and Identification of Novel Puroindoline and Grain Softnes...
The puroindoline proteins, PINA and PINB, which are encoded by the Pina and Pinb genes located at the Ha locus on chromosome 5D of bread wheat, are considered to be the most... -
Effect of Senescence Phenotypes and Nitrate Availability on Wheat Leaf Metabo...
The capacity for optimising grain yield depends largely on the timing of senescence and the processes underlying efficient remobilisation and cycling of nutrients from source... -
Plant Desiccation Tolerance and its Regulation in the Foliage of Resurrection...
The majority of flowering-plant species can survive complete air-dryness in their seed and/or pollen. Relatively few species (‘resurrection plants’) express this desiccation... -
Genomic, Biochemical, and Modeling Analyses of Asparagine Synthetases from Wheat
Asparagine synthetase activity in cereals has become an important issue with the discovery that free asparagine concentration determines the potential for formation of... -
Scalable Database Indexing and Fast Image Retrieval Based on Deep Learning an...
Digitalisation has opened a wealth of new data opportunities by revolutionizing how images are captured. Although the cost of data generation is no longer a major concern, the... -
Dissecting Wheat Grain Yield Drivers in a Mapping Population in the UK
Improving crop yields arises as a solution to ensure food security in the future scenarios of a growing world population, changes in food consumption patterns, climate change,... -
RNA Catabolites Contribute to the Nitrogen Pool and Support Growth Recovery o...
Turn-over of RNA and catabolism of nucleotides releases one to four ammonia molecules; the released nutrients being reassimilated into primary metabolism. Preliminary evidence...
