Biphasic regulation of the transcription factor ABORTED MICROSPORES (AMS) is essential for tapetum and pollen development in Arabidopsis (2016)
Journal Article
Ferguson, A., Pearce, S., Band, L. R., Yang, C., Ferjentsikova, I., King, J., …Wilson, Z. A. (in press). Biphasic regulation of the transcription factor ABORTED MICROSPORES (AMS) is essential for tapetum and pollen development in Arabidopsis. New Phytologist, 213, https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.14200

Viable pollen is essential for plant reproduction and crop yield. Its production requires coordinated expression at specific stages during anther development, involving early meiosis-associated events and late pollen wall formation. The ABORTED MICRO...

A step change in the transfer of interspecific variation into wheat from Amblyopyrum muticum (2016)
Journal Article
King, J., Grewal, S., Yang, C., Hubbart, S., Scholefield, D., Ashling, S., …King, I. P. (2017). A step change in the transfer of interspecific variation into wheat from Amblyopyrum muticum. Plant Biotechnology Journal, 15(2), 217-226. https://doi.org/10.1111/pbi.12606

Despite some notable successes, only a fraction of the genetic variation available in wild relatives has been utilized to produce superior wheat varieties. This is as a direct result of the lack of availability of suitable high-throughput technologie...
