Identification of candidate genes for calcium and magnesium accumulation in Brassica napus L. by association genetics (2017)
Journal Article
Alcock, T. D., Havlickova, L., He, Z., Bancroft, I., White, P. J., Broadley, M. R., & Graham, N. S. (in press). Identification of candidate genes for calcium and magnesium accumulation in Brassica napus L. by association genetics. Frontiers in Plant Science, 8, Article 2081. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2017.01968

Calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) are essential plant nutrients and vital for human and animal nutrition. Biofortification of crops has previously been suggested to alleviate widespread human Ca and Mg deficiencies. In this study, new candidate genes i...

Accelerating root system phenotyping of seedlings through a computer?assisted processing pipeline (2017)
Journal Article
Dupuy, L. X., Wright, G., Thompson, J. A., Taylor, A., Dekeyser, S., White, C. P., …White, P. J. (2017). Accelerating root system phenotyping of seedlings through a computer‑assisted processing pipeline. Plant Methods, 13(1), Article 57. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13007-017-0207-1

Background: There are numerous systems and techniques to measure the growth of plant roots. However, phenotyping large numbers of plant roots for breeding and genetic analyses remains challenging. One major difficulty is to achieve high throughput an... Read More about Accelerating root system phenotyping of seedlings through a computer?assisted processing pipeline.

Development of high-throughput methods to screen disease caused by Rhizoctonia solani AG 2-1 in oilseed rape (2017)
Journal Article
Drizou, F., Graham, N. S., Bruce, T. J. A., & Ray, R. V. (2017). Development of high-throughput methods to screen disease caused by Rhizoctonia solani AG 2-1 in oilseed rape. Plant Methods, 13(1), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13007-017-0195-1

Background: Rhizoctonia solani (Kühn) is a soil-borne, necrotrophic fungus causing damping off, root rot and stem canker in many cultivated plants worldwide. Oilseed rape (OSR, Brassica napus) is the primary host for anastomosis group (AG) 2-1 of R....

A cross-species gene expression marker-based genetic map and QTL analysis in bambara groundnut (2017)
Journal Article
Chai, H., Ho, W., Graham, N., May, S., Massawe, F., & Mayes, S. (2017). A cross-species gene expression marker-based genetic map and QTL analysis in bambara groundnut. Genes, 8(3), https://doi.org/10.3390/genes8020084

Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.) is an underutilised legume crop, which has long been recognised as a protein-rich and drought-tolerant crop, used extensively in Sub-Saharan Africa. The aim of the study was to identify quantitative t... Read More about A cross-species gene expression marker-based genetic map and QTL analysis in bambara groundnut.
