A high soluble-fibre allele in wheat encodes a defective cell wall peroxidase responsible for dimerization of ferulate moieties on arabinoxylan

This study identifies a wheat peroxidase variant that reduces ferulate dimerization in arabinoxylan, increasing soluble dietary fibre content.

Development of a high-throughput starch digestibility assay reveals wide variation among the A. E. Watkins wheat landrace collection

The paper develops a high-throughput starch digestibility assay and applies it to wheat landraces, revealing significant variation in starch digestibility across lines and varieties.

Capturing and Selecting Senescence Variation in Wheat

The paper develops and validates phenotyping methods to capture senescence variation in wheat, identifying TT70 and MeanPed as effective metrics for genetic mapping and breeding.

Interactions between two QTLs for time to anthesis on spike development and fertility in wheat

The paper studies the interaction between two QTLs, Eps-7D and Eps-2B, on flowering time and spike fertility in wheat under field conditions, finding their minor but modulated effects and distinct developmental impacts.

Delaying or Delivering: Identification of novel NAM-1 alleles which delay senescence to extend grain fill duration of wheat

This study identifies novel NAM-1 alleles associated with delayed senescence in wheat, which increases grain fill duration and weight.

Wheat developmental traits as affected by the interaction between Eps-7D and temperature under contrasting photoperiods with insensitive Ppd-D1 background

This study examines how the Eps-7D gene interacts with temperature and photoperiod to affect wheat developmental traits in the presence of an insensitive Ppd-D1 background.

Genotypic differences in wheat yield determinants within a NAM population based on elite parents

The paper evaluates genotypic differences in wheat yield determinants within a NAM population to identify stable beneficial trait combinations for improved grain yield.

Host-associated fungal communities are determined by host phylogeny and exhibit widespread associations with the bacterial microbiome

The paper shows fungal communities in hosts are shaped by host phylogeny and interact with bacterial microbiomes across 49 species.

Asparagine deprivation causes a reversible inhibition of Human Cytomegalovirus acute virus replication

This study identifies asparagine as a critical factor for HCMV replication through a large-scale siRNA screen, showing that its depletion inhibits virus replication but allows recovery with exogenous asparagine.

CropSurveyor: a scalable open-source experiment management system for distributed plant phenotyping and IoT-based crop management

CropSurveyor manages and integrates IoT-based crop phenotyping data from distributed sensors, enabling real-time monitoring and historical comparison of crop growth and environmental conditions.

Leaf-GP: An Open and Automated Software Application for Measuring Growth Phenotypes for Arabidopsis and Wheat

Leaf-GP is an open software tool for automated growth phenotype analysis in plants, capable of processing large image datasets and extracting multiple growth traits from Arabidopsis and wheat.
