Spelt as a genetic resource for yield component improvement in bread wheat (2015)
Journal Article
Novel germplasm resources are required to broaden the genetic diversity of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) for further yield improvement. In this study, the usefulness of spelt (T. spelta L.) as a genetic resource to improve yield components of br...

Annals of Botany, 117(1), https://doi.org/10.1093/aob/mcv147Background and Aims: Tiller production and survival determine final spike number, and play key roles in grain yield formation in wheat (Triticum aestivum). This study aimed to understand the genetic and physiological basis of the tillering process, a...

Genetical and comparative genomics of Brassica under altered Ca supply identifies Arabidopsis Ca-transporter orthologs (2014)
Journal Article
Graham, N. S., Hammond, J. P., Lysenko, A., Mayes, S., Ó Lochlainn, S., Blasco, B., …Broadley, M. R. (in press). Genetical and comparative genomics of Brassica under altered Ca supply identifies Arabidopsis Ca-transporter orthologs. Plant Cell, 26(7),Although Ca transport in plants is highly complex, the overexpression of vacuolar Ca2+ transporters in crops is a promising new technology to improve dietary Ca supplies through biofortification. Here, we sought to identify novel targets for increasi... Read More about Genetical and comparative genomics of Brassica under altered Ca supply identifies Arabidopsis Ca-transporter orthologs.
