Wheat NAC transcription factor NAC5-1 is a positive regulator of senescence

C. Evans, S. L. Mogg, C. Soraru, E. Wallington, J. C. Coates, P. Borrill

This study identifies NAC5-1 as a positive regulator of leaf senescence in wheat and shows its effects on senescence timing through mutation and overexpression experiments.

Wheat NAM genes regulate the majority of early monocarpic senescence transcriptional changes including nitrogen remobilisation genes

T. Andleeb, P. Borrill

This study identifies NAM genes as key regulators of early wheat senescence and nitrogen remobilization by comparing transcriptomic changes in wild-type and NAM RNAi lines.

Transcription factor retention through multiple polyploidisation steps in wheat

C. E. Evans, R. Arunkumar, P. Borrill

The paper tests the gene balance hypothesis by analyzing transcription factor retention in wheat polyploids and finds TFs are preferentially retained as functional homoeologs.

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.

Identification of a dominant chlorosis phenotype through a forward screen of the Triticum turgidum cv. Kronos TILLING population

S. A. Harrington, N. Cobo, M. Karafiatova, J. Dolezel, P. Borrill, C. Uauy

The paper identifies a dominant chlorosis phenotype in durum wheat through a forward genetic screen of a TILLING population and fine-maps the causal locus to a 4.3 Mb region on chromosome 3A.

Conserved residues in the wheat (Triticum aestivum) NAM-A1 NAC domain are required for protein binding and when mutated lead to delayed peduncle and flag leaf senescence

S. A. Harrington, L. E. Overend, N. Cobo, P. Borrill, C. Uauy

This study identifies four conserved residues in the wheat NAM-A1 NAC domain critical for protein function and interaction, with mutations causing delayed senescence in peduncle and flag leaf.
