Challenges facing sustainable protein production: Opportunities for cereals (2023)
Journal Article
Safdar, L. B., Foulkes, M. J., Kleiner, F. H., Searle, I. R., Bhosale, R. A., Fisk, I. D., & Boden, S. A. (2023). Challenges facing sustainable protein production: Opportunities for cereals. Plant Communications, 4(6), Article 100716. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.xplc.2023.100716

Rising demands for protein worldwide are likely to drive increases in livestock production, as meat provides ∼40% of dietary protein. This will come at a significant environmental cost, and a shift toward plant-based protein sources would therefore p...

Root architecture and leaf photosynthesis traits and associations with nitrogen-use efficiency in landrace-derived lines in wheat (2022)
Journal Article
Kareem, S. H., Hawkesford, M. J., DeSilva, J., Weerasinghe, M., Wells, D. M., Pound, M. P., …Foulkes, M. J. (2022). Root architecture and leaf photosynthesis traits and associations with nitrogen-use efficiency in landrace-derived lines in wheat. European Journal of Agronomy, 140, Article 126603. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eja.2022.126603

Root system architecture (RSA) is important in optimizing the use of nitrogen. High-throughput phenotyping techniques may be used to study root system architecture traits under controlled environments. A root phenotyping platform, consisting of germi...

Wheat lines exhibiting variation in tolerance of Septoria tritici blotch differentiated by grain source limitation (2017)
Journal Article
Collin, F., Bancal, P., Spink, J., Kock Appelgren, P., Smith, J., Paveley, N., …Foulkes, M. (2018). Wheat lines exhibiting variation in tolerance of Septoria tritici blotch differentiated by grain source limitation. Field Crops Research, 217, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fcr.2017.11.022

Septoria tritici blotch (STB) is the most damaging disease of wheat crops in Europe. Because of the partial nature of genotypic resistance or the increasing resistance against fungicides, the tolerance, i.e. maintaining yield in the presence of expre...
