© 2020, The Author(s). Key message: One hundred and thirty four introgressions from Thinopyrum elongatum have been transferred into a wheat background and were characterised using 263 SNP markers. Abstract: Species within the genus Thinopyrum have be... Read More about Exploiting the genome of Thinopyrum elongatum to expand the gene pool of hexaploid wheat.

Thinopyrum intermedium (2n = 6x = 42, StJrJvs) is one of the most promising reservoirs of useful genes including tolerance to abiotic stresses, perenniality and disease resistance not available in the cultivated bread wheat. The transfer of genetic d...

Development of stable homozygous wheat/Amblyopyrum muticum (Aegilops mutica) introgression lines and their cytogenetic and molecular characterization (2019)
Journal Article
King, J., Newell, C., Grewal, S., Hubbart-Edwards, S., Yang, C., Scholefield, D., …King, I. P. (2019). Development of stable homozygous wheat/Amblyopyrum muticum (Aegilops mutica) introgression lines and their cytogenetic and molecular characterization.

Wheat is one of the world’s most important sources of food. However, due to its evolution its genetic base has narrowed, which is severely limiting the ability of breeders to develop new higher yielding varieties that can adapt to the changing enviro...

Biphasic regulation of the transcription factor ABORTED MICROSPORES (AMS) is essential for tapetum and pollen development in Arabidopsis (2016)
Journal Article
Ferguson, A., Pearce, S., Band, L. R., Yang, C., Ferjentsikova, I., King, J., …Wilson, Z. A. (in press). Biphasic regulation of the transcription factor ABORTED MICROSPORES (AMS) is essential for tapetum and pollen development in Arabidopsis. New Phytologist, 213, https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.14200

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...
