Untargeted metabolomic profiling of 100% malt beers versus those containing barley adjunct (2024)
Journal Article

Why was the work done: The incorporation of unmalted barley at high proportion in the grist can introduce unfavourable bitter and astringent characteristics to beer, resulting in an upper limit on the proportion used. The flavour active compounds fro... Read More about Untargeted metabolomic profiling of 100% malt beers versus those containing barley adjunct.

Barley TAPETAL DEVELOPMENT and FUNCTION1 (HvTDF1) gene reveals conserved and unique roles in controlling anther tapetum development in dicot and monocot plants (2023)
Journal Article

The anther tapetum helps control microspore release and essential components for pollen wall formation. TAPETAL DEVELOPMENT and FUNCTION1 (TDF1) is an essential R2R3 MYB tapetum transcription factor in Arabidopsis thaliana; however, little is known a...

Chlorophyll fluorescence-based high-throughput phenotyping facilitates the genetic dissection of photosynthetic heat tolerance in African (Oryza glaberrima) and Asian (Oryza sativa) rice (2023)
Journal Article

Rising temperatures and extreme heat events threaten rice production. Half of the global population relies on rice for basic nutrition, and therefore developing heat-tolerant rice is essential. During vegetative development, reduced photosynthetic ra...

Sporophytic control of pollen meiotic progression is mediated by tapetum expression of ABORTED MICROSPORES (2022)
Journal Article

Pollen development is dependent on the tapetum, a sporophytic anther cell layer surrounding the microspores that functions in pollen wall formation but is also essential for meiosis-associated development. There is clear evidence of crosstalk and co-... Read More about Sporophytic control of pollen meiotic progression is mediated by tapetum expression of ABORTED MICROSPORES.
