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... -
Assessing the evolution of wheat grain traits during the last 166 years using...
The current study focuses on yield and nutritional quality changes of wheat grain over the last 166 years. It is based on wheat grain quality analyses carried out on samples... -
Tolerance to oxidative stress is associated with both oxidative stress respon...
Reactive oxygen species are toxic byproducts of aerobic respiration that are also important in mediating a diversity of cellular functions. Reactive oxygen species form an... -
Mapping sites of gibberellin biosynthesis in the Arabidopsis root tip
Root elongation depends on the action of the gibberellin (GA) growth hormones, which promote cell production in the root meristem and cell expansion in the elongation zone.... -

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... -
Effect of Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria on the Growth of Wheat Seedlings Su...
Certain phosphorous solubilizing (PSB) and phosphorous mineralizing (PMB) bacteria may improve plant growth by improving nutrient availability. The aim of this work was to... -
Strategies to improve wheat for human health
Despite their economic importance and growing demand, concerns are emerging around wheat-based foods and human health. Most wheat-based foods are made from refined white flour... -
Do modern types of wheat have lower quality for human health?
Wheat is the major staple food in Western Europe and an important source of energy, protein, dietary fibre, minerals, B vitamins and phytochemicals. Plant breeders have been... -
Improving starch and fibre in wheat grain for human health
Reducing the prevalence of diet-related diseases, including obesity and type 2 diabetes, is a major challenge for health professionals, food manufacturers and governments in... -

Sunn pest or Sunn bug, Eurygaster integriceps Put., salivary gland proteases are responsible for the deterioration of wheat flour quality during dough mixing, resulting from... -
Gradients of Gluten Proteins and Free Amino Acids along the Longitudinal Axis...
Gradients in the contents and compositions of gluten proteins and free amino acids and the expression levels of gluten protein genes in developing wheat caryopses were... -
Contrasting gene expression patterns in grain of high and low asparagine whea...
Background Free asparagine is the precursor for acrylamide formation during cooking and processing of grains, tubers, beans and other crop products. In wheat grain, free... -
Stability analysis of wheat lines with increased level of arabinoxylan
Plant breeders have long sought to develop lines that combine outstanding performance with high and stable quality in different environments. The high-arabinoxylan (AX) Chinese... -
Cysteine and Methionine Biosynthetic Enzymes Have Distinct Effects on Seed Nu...
Staple crops in human and livestock diets suffer from deficiencies in certain “essential” amino acids including methionine. With the goal of increasing methionine in rice seed,... -
Editorial: Aegilops: Promising Genesources to Improve Agronomical and Quality...
