Global wheat production could benefit from closing the genetic yield gap
Global food security requires food production to be increased in the coming decades. The closure of any existing genetic yield gap (Yig) by genetic improvement could increase... -
Loss of chromatin remodeler DDM1 causes segregation distortion in Arabidopsis...
Segregation distortion (SD) is common in most genetic mapping experiments and a valuable resource to determine how gene loci induce deviation. Meiotic DNA crossing over and SD... -
Changes in the concentrations and transcripts for gibberellins and other horm...
Abstract Background Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a major source of nutrition globally, but yields can be seriously compromised by water limitation. Redistribution of... -
Below-ground physiological processes enhancing phosphorus acquisition in plants
Phosphorus (P) is an essential element for crop growth and development. In acid soils, inorganic P (Pi) is immobilised with Fe3+ and Al3+, whereas in calcareous soils, it is... -
Plant adaptation to nutrient stress
Mineral nutrients absorbed in the inorganic form are indispensable for plant growth and development. The various processes underlying yield formation in crops such as biomass... -
Effectiveness of using representative subsets of global climate models in fut...
AbstractRepresentative subsets of global climate models (GCMs) are often used in climate change impact studies to account for uncertainty in ensemble climate projections.... -
Methodology to assess the changing risk of yield failure due to heat and drou...
While the understanding of average impacts of climate change on crop yields is improving, few assessments have quantified expected impacts on yield distributions and the risk of... -
Post-translational cleavage of HMW-GS Dy10 allele improves the cookie-making ...
Wheat is a major staple food crop worldwide because of the unique properties of wheat flour. High molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GSs), which are among the most critical... -
Genomics accelerated isolation of a new stem rust avirulence gene–wheat resis...
Stem rust caused by the fungus Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt) is a devastating disease of the global staple crop wheat. Although this disease was largely controlled in... -
Identifying aphid resistance in the ancestral wheat Triticum monococcum under...
AbstractWheat is an economically, socially, and nutritionally important crop, however, aphid infestation can often reduce wheat yield through feeding and virus transmission.... -
Reduced free asparagine in wheat grain resulting from a natural deletion of T...
Abstract Background Understanding the determinants of free asparagine concentration in wheat grain is necessary to reduce levels of the processing contaminant acrylamide in... -
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... -
The relative abundance of wheat Rubisco activase isoforms is post-transcripti...
AbstractDiurnal rhythms and light availability affect transcription–translation feedback loops that regulate the synthesis of photosynthetic proteins. The CO2-fixing enzyme... -
Artificial-intelligence tools aim to tame the coronavirus literature
The COVID-19 literature has grown in much the same way as the disease’s transmission: exponentially. The NIH’s COVID-19 Portfolio, a website that tracks papers related to the... -
Vulnerability of European wheat to extreme heat and drought around flowering ...
Identifying the future threats to crop yields from climate change is vital to underpin the continuous production increases needed for global food security. In the present study,... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
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.... -
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...
