Seedling root traits of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) have been shown to be important for efficient establishment and linked to mature plant traits such as height and yield. A root phenotyping pipeline, consisting of a germination paper-based screen c... Read More about Phenotyping pipeline reveals major seedling root growth QTL in hexaploid wheat.

Transmission Frequencies of Introgressed Festuca pratensis Chromosomes and Chromosome Segments in Lolium perenne (2013)
Journal Article
King, J., Armstead, I., Harper, J., & King, I. (2013). Transmission Frequencies of Introgressed Festuca pratensis Chromosomes and Chromosome Segments in Lolium perenne. Crop Science, 53(5), 1968-1973. https://doi.org/10.2135/cropsci2013.03.0209

The introgression of genetic variation from related species into crops provides an important route by which superior plant varieties can be produced. The primary aim of introgression involves the transfer of a small chromosome segment from a related...

Journal Article
King, J., Thomas, A., James, C., King, I., & Armstead, I. (2013). A DArT marker genetic map of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) integrated with detailed comparative mapping information; comparison with existing DArT marker genetic maps of Lolium perenne, L. multiflorum and Festuca pratensis. BMC Genomics, 14(1), Article 437. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2164-14-437

Background
Ryegrasses and fescues (genera, Lolium and Festuca) are species of forage and turf grasses which are used widely in agricultural and amenity situations. They are classified within the sub-family Pooideae and so are closely related to Brac...

Exploitation of interspecific diversity for monocot crop improvement (2013)
Journal Article
King, J., Armstead, I., Harper, J., Ramsey, L., Snape, J., Waugh, R., …King, I. (2013). Exploitation of interspecific diversity for monocot crop improvement. Heredity, 110(5), 475-483. https://doi.org/10.1038/hdy.2012.116

In many cultivated crop species there is limited genetic variation available for the development of new higher yielding varieties adapted to climate change and sustainable farming practises. The distant relatives of crop species provide a vast and la... Read More about Exploitation of interspecific diversity for monocot crop improvement.

TAG Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 118(8), 1549-1560. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00122-009-1003-8

DNA markers able to distinguish species or genera with high specificity are valuable in the identification of introgressed regions in interspecific or intergeneric hybrids. Intergeneric hybridization between the genera of Lolium and Festuca, leading...

Background
Various methods have been developed to explore inter-genomic relationships among plant species. Here, we present a sequence similarity analysis based upon comparison of transcript-assembly and methylation-filtered databases from five plan...
