High-density SNP genotyping array for hexaploid wheat and its secondary and tertiary gene pool (2015)
Journal Article
In wheat, a lack of genetic diversity between breeding lines has been recognized as a significant block to future yield increases. Species belonging to bread wheat's secondary and tertiary gene pools harbour a much greater level of genetic variabilit...

Impact of altered cell wall composition on saccharification efficiency in stem tissue of Arabidopsis RABA GTPase-deficient knockout mutants (2015)
Journal Article
Use of biomass for second-generation biofuel production is severely hindered by the inherent recalcitrance of the plant cell wall to digestion. Trafficking is crucial for compartmentalisation within the cell. This process is partly regulated by small...

High-Resolution Three-Dimensional Structural Data Quantify the Impact of Photoinhibition on Long-Term Carbon Gain in Wheat Canopies in the Field (2015)
Journal Article
Photoinhibition reduces photosynthetic productivity; however, it is difficult to quantify accurately in complex canopies partly because of a lack of high-resolution structural data on plant canopy architecture, which determines complex fluctuations o...

Carpel size, grain filling, and morphology determine individual grain weight in wheat (2015)
Journal Article
Individual grain weight is a major yield component in wheat. To provide a comprehensive understanding of grain weight determination, the carpel size at anthesis, grain dry matter accumulation, grain water uptake and loss, grain morphological expansio...

Journal Article
A DEMETER-like DNA demethylase protein governs tomato fruit ripening (2015)
Journal Article
In plants, genomic DNA methylation which contributes to development and stress responses can be actively removed by DEMETER-like DNA demethylases (DML). Indeed, in Arabidopsis DMLs are important for maternal imprinting and endosperm demethylation, bu... Read More about A DEMETER-like DNA demethylase protein governs tomato fruit ripening.
Yeast m6A Methylated mRNAs Are Enriched on Translating Ribosomes during Meiosis, and under Rapamycin Treatment (2015)
Journal Article
Interest in mRNA methylation has exploded in recent years. The sudden interest in a 40 year old discovery was due in part to the finding of FTO’s (Fat Mass Obesity) N6-methyladenosine (m6 A) deaminase activity, thus suggesting a link between obesity-...

The circadian clock rephases during lateral root organ initiation in Arabidopsis thaliana (2015)
Journal Article
The endogenous circadian clock enables organisms to adapt their growth and development to environmental changes. Here we describe how the circadian clock is employed to coordinate responses to the key signal auxin during lateral root (LR) emergence....

Oxygen Sensing Coordinates Photomorphogenesis to Facilitate Seedling Survival (2015)
Journal Article
Successful emergence from the soil is essential for plant establishment in natural and farmed systems.
