Examining the Effects of Temperature on Recombination in Wheat
Meiotic recombination plays a crucial role in the generation of new varieties. The effectiveness of recombination is limited by the distribution of crossover events, which in... -
A Co-Expression Network in Hexaploid Wheat Reveals Mostly Balanced Expression...
Polyploidization has played an important role in plant evolution. However, upon polyploidization, the process of meiosis must adapt to ensure the proper segregation of increased... -
Detection of T. urartu Introgressions in Wheat and Development of a Panel of ...
Tritcum urartu (2n = 2x = 14, AuAu), the A genome donor of wheat, is an important source for new genetic variation for wheat improvement due to its high photosynthetic rate and... -
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... -
Novel Sources of Variation in Grain Yield, Components and Mineral Traits Iden...
Salt-affected soils constrain wheat production globally. A wild wheat species, Thinopyrum bessarabicum (Savul. & Rayss) Á. Löve (Poaceae), and its derivatives are tolerant... -
Magnesium Increases Homoeologous Crossover Frequency During Meiosis in ZIP4 (...
Wild relatives provide an important source of useful traits in wheat breeding. Wheat and wild relative hybrids have been widely used in breeding programs to introduce such... -
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... -
Long Non-Coding RNAs as Endogenous Target Mimics and Exploration of Their Rol...
Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) research in plants has recently gained momentum taking cues from studies in animals systems. The availability of next-generation sequencing has... -
Heat in Wheat: Exploit Reverse Genetic Techniques to Discover New Alleles Wit...
Wheat breeding nowadays must address producers and consumers’ desire. According to the last FAO report, a dramatic decrease in wheat production is expected in the next decades... -
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... -
Genome-Wide Transcription During Early Wheat Meiosis Is Independent of Synaps...
Polyploidization is a fundamental process in plant evolution. One of the biggest challenges faced by a new polyploid is meiosis, particularly discriminating between multiple... -
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... -
Genome-Wide Association Mapping of Grain Micronutrients Concentration in Aegi...
Bread wheat is an important and the most consumed cereal worldwide. However, people with predominantly cereal-based diets are increasingly affected by micronutrient...
