The effects of exogenous fibrolytic enzymes on the in vitro release of xylooligosaccharides and monosaccharides varies across six varieties of wheat. Animal Feed Science and Technology, 295, Article 115526. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anifeedsci.2022.115526

Wheat is a widely used cereal grain for pig and poultry feeds globally. Despite this, there are noticeable differences in its nutritive value, potentially due to varying characteristics like inherent non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) content and compos...

A diverse panel of wheat wild relative species was screened for resistance to Fusarium head blight (FHB) by spray inoculation. The great majority of species and accessions were susceptible or highly susceptible to FHB. Accessions of Triticum timophee...

Identifying variation for N-use efficiency and associated traits in amphidiploids derived from hybrids of bread wheat and the genera Aegilops, Secale, Thinopyrum and Triticum. PLoS ONE, 17(4 April), Article e0266924. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0266924

Future genetic progress in wheat grain yield will depend on increasing biomass and this must be achieved without commensurate increases in nitrogen (N) fertilizer inputs to minimize environmental impacts. In recent decades there has been a loss of ge...
