Chlorophyll fluorescence-based high-throughput phenotyping facilitates the genetic dissection of photosynthetic heat tolerance in African (Oryza glaberrima) and Asian (Oryza sativa) rice (2023)
Journal Article

Rising temperatures and extreme heat events threaten rice production. Half of the global population relies on rice for basic nutrition, and therefore developing heat-tolerant rice is essential. During vegetative development, reduced photosynthetic ra...

Increased expression of the HvMALE STERILITY1 Transcription Factor Results in Temperature-Sensitive Male Sterility in Barley (2020)
Journal Article

Understanding the control of fertility is critical for crop yield and breeding, this is particularly important for hybrid breeding to capitalise upon the resultant hybrid vigour. Different hybrid breeding systems have been adopted, however these are...

MS1, a direct target of MS188, regulates the expression of key sporophytic pollen coat protein genes in Arabidopsis (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 Oxford University Press. All rights reserved. Sporophytic pollen coat proteins (sPCPs) derived from the anther tapetum are deposited into pollen wall cavities and function in pollen-stigma interactions, pollen hydration, and environmental prot...

Accurate staging of reproduction development in Cadenza wheat by non-destructive spike analysis (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 The Author(s) 2020. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Society for Experimental Biology. Wheat is one of the most important crops in the world; however, loss of genetic variability and abiotic stress caused by variable clima...

Knockdown of Arabidopsis ROOT UVB SENSITIVE4 Disrupts Anther Dehiscence by Suppressing Secondary Thickening in the Endothecium (2019)
Journal Article

ROOT UV-B SENSITIVE4 (RUS4) encodes a protein with no known function that contains a conserved Domain of Unknown Function 647 (DUF647). The DUF647-containing proteins RUS1 and RUS2 have previously been associated with root UV-B-sensing pathway that p...

The early inflorescence of Arabidopsis thaliana demonstrates positional effects in floral organ growth and meristem patterning (2017)
Journal Article

Most flowering plants, including the genetic model Arabidopsis thaliana, produce multiple flowers in sequence from a reproductive shoot apex to form a flower spike (inflorescence). The development of individual flowers on an Arabidopsis inflorescence...

Mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 overexpression increases yield in Nicotiana Tabacum under drought stress by improving source and sink metabolism (2017)
Journal Article

Mitochondrial uncoupling proteins (UCPs) sustain mitochondrial respiration independent of intracellular ATP concentration. Uncoupled respiration is particularly beneficial under stress conditions, during which both photosynthesis and respiration may...

Harnessing diversity from ecosystems to crops to genes (2017)
Journal Article

To feed humanity, while maintaining a stable and diverse biosphere, crop science needs to adapt to an open research environment where genetic resources and the data demonstrating the environments in which they are effective are freely shared. The cha... Read More about Harnessing diversity from ecosystems to crops to genes.

Biphasic regulation of the transcription factor ABORTED MICROSPORES (AMS) is essential for tapetum and pollen development in Arabidopsis (2016)
Journal Article

Viable pollen is essential for plant reproduction and crop yield. Its production requires coordinated expression at specific stages during anther development, involving early meiosis-associated events and late pollen wall formation. The ABORTED MICRO...

A barley PHD finger transcription factor that confers male sterility by affecting tapetal development (2014)
Journal Article

Controlling pollen development is of major commercial importance in generating hybrid crops and selective breeding, but characterized genes for male sterility in crops are rare, with no current examples in barley. However, translation of knowledge fr... Read More about A barley PHD finger transcription factor that confers male sterility by affecting tapetal development.

DELLA activity is required for successful pollen development in the Columbia ecotype of Arabidopsis. (2013)
