Construction of a network describing asparagine metabolism in plants and its ...
A detailed network describing asparagine metabolism in plants was constructed using published data from Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) maize (Zea mays), wheat (Triticum... -
Drought tolerance during reproductive development is important for increasing...
Drought stress during reproductive development could drastically reduce wheat grain number and yield, but quantitative evaluation of such an effect is unknown under climate... -
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... -
Foxtail mosaic virus: A Viral Vector for Protein Expression in Cereals
Rapid and cost-effective virus-derived transient expression systems for plants are invaluable in elucidating gene function and are particularly useful in plant species for which... -
Beyond the one-way ANOVA for ’omics data
With ever increasing accessibility to high throughput technologies, more complex treatment structures can be assessed in a variety of ’omics applications. This adds an extra... -
Genetic variation in traits for nitrogen use efficiency in wheat
Crop nutrient and especially nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is both an economically and an environmentally highly desirable trait. It has been estimated that only a third of... -
Cell surface immune receptors: the guardians of the plant’s extracellular spaces
Since the original ‘Zigzag model’, several iterations have been proposed to reconcile both the Pattern Triggered Immunity (PTI) and the Effector Triggered Immunity (ETI)... -
Identification of Leaf Promoters for Use in Transgenic Wheat
Wheat yields have plateaued in recent years and given the growing global population there is a pressing need to develop higher yielding varieties to meet future demand. Genetic... -
CRISPR/Cas precision: do we need to worry about off-targeting in plants?
The CRISPR/Cas technology has recently become the tool of choice for targeted genome modification in plants and beyond. Although CRSIPR/Cas offers a rapid and facile way of... -
A spatial temporal analysis of the Fusarium graminearum transcriptome during ...
Fusarium head blight of wheat is one of the most serious and hazardous crop diseases worldwide. Here, a transcriptomic investigation of Fusarium graminearum reveals a new model... -
A new proteinaceous pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) identified i...
Pathogen‐associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) are detected by plant pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), which gives rise to PAMP‐triggered immunity (PTI). We characterized a... -
In vitro fermentability of xylo -oligosaccharide and xylo -polysaccharide fra...
Xylo-oligosaccharides and xylo-polysaccharides (XOS, XPS) produced by autohydrolysis of the fibre from oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) were purified using gel filtration... -
A review of wheat diseases-a field perspective
Wheat is one of the primary staple foods throughout the planet. Significant yield gains in wheat production over the past 40 years have resulted in a steady balance of supply... -
Diverging importance of drought stress for maize and winter wheat in Europe
Understanding the drivers of yield levels under climate change is required to support adaptation planning and respond to changing production risks. This study uses an ensemble...
