LYS3 encodes a prolamin-box-binding transcription factor that controls embryo...
Mutations at the LYS3 locus in barley have multiple effects on grain development, including an increase in embryo size and a decrease in endosperm starch content. The gene... -
Functional evaluation of a homologue of plant rapid alkalinisation factor (RA...
The cereal infecting fungus Fusarium graminearum is predicted to possess a single homologue of plant RALF (rapid alkalinisation factor) peptides. Fusarium mutant strains lacking... -
Temporal and spatial variations of carbon isotope signature reveal substantia...
Carbon isotope composition (δ13C) of a plant organ is an inherent signature reflecting its physiological property, and thus is used as an integrative index in crop breeding. It... -
Wheat growth responses to soil mechanical impedance are dependent on phosphor...
Increased mechanical impedance induced by soil drying or compaction causes reduction in plant growth and crop yield. However, how mechanical impedance interacts with nutrient... -
The case for improving crop carbon sink strength or plasticity for a CO2-rich...
Atmospheric CO2 concentration [CO2] has increased from 260 to 280 μmol mol−1 (level during crop domestication up to the industrial revolution) to currently 400 and will reach... -
Genetic variation and heritability of grain protein deviation in European whe...
There is a well-established negative relationship between the yield and the concentration of protein in the mature wheat grain. However, some wheat genotypes consistently... -
Differential ear growth of two maize varieties to shading in the field enviro...
The interception of irradiation by smog pollution and cloud cover associated with extreme rainfall events has become an increasingly important limiting factor in crop production... -
Composition and content of phenolic acids and avenanthramides in commercial o...
Oats contain a range of phenolic acids and avenanthramides which may have health benefits. Analysis of 22 commercial oat products (oat bran concentrate, oat bran, flaked oats,... -
Genetic variation in wheat grain quality is associated with differences in th...
Lipids affect the quality of wheat flour for breadmaking. One possible mechanism is stabilization of the gas cells which are formed during dough mixing and expanded during... -
Optimisation of droplet digital PCR for determining copy number variation of ...
Targeted and random mutagenesis of gene families require accurate quantification. Droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) enables high-throughput screening of copy number variation (CNV).... -
Investigating the effects of inter-annual weather variation (1968–2016) on th...
The effect of weather on inter-annual variation in the crop yield response to nitrogen (N) fertilizer for winter wheat (Triticum aestivvum L.) and spring barley (Hordeum vulgare... -
Adverse weather conditions for UK wheat production under climate change
Winter wheat is an important crop in the UK, suited to the typical weather conditions in the current climate. In a changing climate the increased frequency and severity of... -
Large genetic yield potential and genetic yield gap estimated for wheat in Eu...
Improving yield potential and closing the yield gap are important to achieve global food security. Europe is the largest wheat producer, delivering about 35% of wheat globally,... -
Spatial distribution of functional components in the starchy endosperm of whe...
The starchy endosperm of the mature wheat grain comprises three major cell types, namely sub-aleurone cells, prismatic cells and central cells, which differ in their contents of... -
The wheat SnRK1α family and its contribution to Fusarium toxin tolerance
Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a mycotoxin produced by phytopathogenic Fusarium fungi in cereal grain and plays a role as a disease virulence factor. TaFROG (Triticum aestivum Fusarium... -
New modelling technique for improving crop model performance - Application to...
Crop models simulate growth and development and they are often used for climate change applications. However, they have a variable skill in the simulation of crop responses to... -
Risk factors for European winter oilseed rape production under climate change
Winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus L., WOSR) is the main oilseed crop in Europe, and it is mainly grown for biofuel and edible oil. The crop is grown widespread in Europe with... -
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... -
Where are the drought tolerant crops? An assessment of more than two decades ...
Since the dawn of modern biotechnology public and private enterprise have pursued the development of a new breed of drought tolerant crop products. After more than 20 years of... -
Plant Genomics: Unlocking the Genome of Wheat’s Progenitor
