Prospects to improve the nutritional quality of crops. Food and Energy Security, 11(1), Article e327. https://doi.org/10.1002/fes3.327

A growing world population as well as the need to enhance sustainability and health create challenges for crop breeding. To address these challenges, not only quantitative but also qualitative improvements are needed, especially regarding the macro-...

The effect of canopy architecture on the patterning of “windflecks” within a wheat canopy (2021)
Journal Article
Burgess, A. J., Durand, M., Retkute, R., Gibbs, J. A., Robson, T. M., & Murchie, E. H. (2021). The effect of canopy architecture on the patterning of “windflecks” within a wheat canopy. Plant, Cell and Environment, 44(11), 3524-3537. https://doi.org/10.1111/pce.14168

Under field conditions, plants are subject to wind-induced movement which creates fluctuations of light intensity and spectral quality reaching the leaves, defined here as windflecks. Within this study, irradiance within two contrasting wheat (Tritic... Read More about The effect of canopy architecture on the patterning of “windflecks” within a wheat canopy.
