Delayed development of basal spikelets in wheat explains their increased floret abortion and rudimentary nature

A. E. Backhaus, C. Griffiths, A. Vergara-Cruces, J. Simmonds, R. Lee, R. J. Morris, C. Uauy

This study identifies delayed development and reduced developmental age of basal florets in wheat as the cause of their abortion and rudimentary nature, challenging the assimilate availability hypothesis.

High expression of VRT2 increases the number of rudimentary basal spikelets in wheat

A. E. Backhaus, A. Lister, M. Tomkins, N. M. Adamski, J. Simmonds, I. C. Macaulay, R. J. Morris, W. Haerty, C. Uauy

The paper identifies a transcriptional gradient in wheat spikes associated with rudimentary basal spikelet development, leading to the lanceolate spike shape.

Increased and ectopic expression of Triticum polonicum VRT-A2 underlies elongated glumes and grains in hexaploid wheat in a dosage-dependent manner

N. M. Adamski, J. Simmonds, J. F. Brinton, A. E. Backhaus, Y. Chen, M. Smedley, S. Hayta, T. Florio, P. Crane, P. Scott, A. Pieri, O. Hall, E. J. Barclay, M. Clayton, J. H. Doonan, , C. Uauy

An intron-1 rearrangement in the MADS-box transcription factor VRT-A2 leads to its misexpression and defines the long-glume phenotype of Polish wheat (T. polonicum).

A heat-shock inducible system for flexible gene expression in cereals

S. A. Harrington, A. E. Backhaus, S. Fox, C. Rogers, P. Borrill, C. Uauy, A. Richardson

This paper develops a heat-shock inducible gene expression system for cereals, enabling controlled gene activation in barley and wheat without chemical inducers.

Validation and characterisation of a wheat GENIE3 network using an independent RNA-Seq dataset

S. A. Harrington, A. E. Backhaus, A. Singh, K. Hassani-Pak, C. Uauy

The paper validates a wheat GENIE3 network using an independent RNA-Seq dataset, showing significant overlap between predicted targets and differentially expressed genes for NAM-A1.
