Improved Interpretation of Mercury Intrusion and Soil Water Retention Percola...
This work addresses two continuing fallacies in the interpretation of percolation characteristics of porous solids. The first is that the first derivative (slope) of the... -
Intrinsic wheat lipid composition effects the interfacial and foaming propert...
Doughs were prepared from a single variety breadmaking flour (cv. Hereward), from three successive harvests (years; 2011, 2012 and 2013). A preparation of the aqueous phase from... -
The role of ZIP transporters and group F bZIP transcription factors in the Zn...
FULL TEXT Abstract: Understanding the molecular basis of zinc (Zn) uptake and transport in staple cereal crops is critical for improving both Zn content and... -
Targeting carbon for crop yield and drought resilience
Current methods of crop improvement are not keeping pace with projected increases in population growth. Breeding, focused around key traits of stem height and disease... -
Determination of the prebiotic activity of wheat arabinogalactan peptide (AGP...
Purpose To test the prebiotic activity of wheat arabinogalactan-peptide (AGP), which is a soluble dietary fibre composed of arabinogalactan polysaccharide linked to a 15-residue... -

Exploring the resilience of wheat crops grown in short rotations through mini...
Given the increasing demand for wheat which is forecast, cropping of wheat in short rotations will likely remain a common practice. However, in temperate wheat growing regions... -
Feruloylation and structure of arabinoxylan in wheat endosperm cell walls fro...
Arabinoxylan (AX) is the major component of the cell walls of wheat grain (70% in starchy endosperm), is an important determinant of end‐use qualities affecting food processing,... -
Comparison of the dietary fibre composition of old and modern durum wheat (Tr...
It has been suggested that intensive breeding has led to decreased contents of health-promoting components in modern wheats. We therefore compared the contents and compositions... -
Climate change impact and adaptation for wheat protein
Wheat grain protein concentration is an important determinant of wheat quality for human nutrition that is often overlooked in efforts to improve crop production. We tested and... -
Phosphopantetheinyl transferase (Ppt)-mediated biosynthesis of lysine, but no...
Zymoseptoria tritici is the causal agent of Septoria tritici blotch (STB) disease of wheat. Z. tritici is an apoplastic fungal pathogen, which does not penetrate plant cells at... -
Opposite fates of the purine metabolite allantoin under water and nitrogen li...
The metabolite allantoin is an intermediate of the catabolism of purines (components of nucleotides) and is known for its housekeeping role in nitrogen (N) recycling and also... -
Foliar N application at anthesis alters grain protein composition and enhance...
Wheat is the second biggest staple crop worldwide and is mainly consumed in the form of baked goods, requiring a specific flour quality. Grain protein concentration (GPC) is an... -
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...
