Journal Article
Robson, J. K., Tidy, A. C., Thomas, S. G., & Wilson, Z. A. (2024). Environmental regulation of male fertility is mediated through Arabidopsis bHLH89, 91 and 10. Journal of Experimental Botany, 75(7), 1934-1947. https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/erad480

Formation of functional pollen and successful fertilization rely on the spatial and temporal regulation of anther and pollen development. This process responds to environmental cues to maintain optimal fertility despite climatic changes. Arabidopsi...

New Germplasm for Breeding: Pink-flowered and White-fruited Strawberry (2023)
Journal Article
Guan, L., Wilson, Z. A., Zhao, M., Qiao, Y., Wu, E., Wang, Q., Yuan, H., Xu, L., Pang, F., Cai, W., Chen, X., & Xia, J. (2023). New Germplasm for Breeding: Pink-flowered and White-fruited Strawberry. HortScience, 58(9), 1005-1009. https://doi.org/10.21273/hortsci17047-22

Most strawberry plants have white flowers and red fruit. We developed a new strawberry selection with pink flowers and white fruit, and named it G23. Basic phenotypic data were recorded over years of observation and experimentation with the flower cr... Read More about New Germplasm for Breeding: Pink-flowered and White-fruited Strawberry.

Barley TAPETAL DEVELOPMENT and FUNCTION1 (HvTDF1) gene reveals conserved and unique roles in controlling anther tapetum development in dicot and monocot plants (2023)
Journal Article
Hua, M., Yin, W., Fernández Gómez, J., Tidy, A., Xing, G., Zong, J., Shi, S., & Wilson, Z. A. (2023). Barley TAPETAL DEVELOPMENT and FUNCTION1 (HvTDF1) gene reveals conserved and unique roles in controlling anther tapetum development in dicot and monocot plants. New Phytologist, 240(1), 173-190. https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.19161

The anther tapetum helps control microspore release and essential components for pollen wall formation. TAPETAL DEVELOPMENT and FUNCTION1 (TDF1) is an essential R2R3 MYB tapetum transcription factor in Arabidopsis thaliana; however, little is known a...

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
Robson, J. K., Ferguson, J. N., McAusland, L., Atkinson, J. A., Tranchant-Dubreuil, C., Cubry, P., Sabot, F., Wells, D. M., Price, A. H., Wilson, Z. A., & Murchie, E. H. (2023). Chlorophyll fluorescence-based high-throughput phenotyping facilitates the genetic dissection of photosynthetic heat tolerance in African (Oryza glaberrima) and Asian (Oryza sativa) rice. Journal of Experimental Botany, 74(17), 5181-5197. https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/erad239

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...

Rice HEAT SHOCK PROTEIN60-3B maintains male fertility under high temperature by starch granule biogenesis (2023)
Journal Article
Lin, S., Liu, Z., Sun, S., Xue, F., Li, H., Tursun, A., Cao, L., Zhang, L., Wilson, Z. A., Zhang, D., & Liang, W. (2023). Rice HEAT SHOCK PROTEIN60-3B maintains male fertility under high temperature by starch granule biogenesis. Plant Physiology, 192(3), 2301-2317. https://doi.org/10.1093/plphys/kiad136

Heat stress has a deleterious effect on male fertility in rice (Oryza sativa), but mechanisms to protect against heat stress in rice male gametophytes are poorly understood. Here, we have isolated and characterized a heat-sensitive male-sterile rice...
