Untargeted metabolomic profiling of 100% malt beers versus those containing barley adjunct (2024)
Journal Article
Yorke, J., Dew, T., & Cook, D. (2024). Untargeted metabolomic profiling of 100% malt beers versus those containing barley adjunct. Journal of the Institute of Brewing, 130(1), 31-46. https://doi.org/10.58430/jib.v130i1.46

Why was the work done: The incorporation of unmalted barley at high proportion in the grist can introduce unfavourable bitter and astringent characteristics to beer, resulting in an upper limit on the proportion used. The flavour active compounds fro... Read More about Untargeted metabolomic profiling of 100% malt beers versus those containing barley adjunct.

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., …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...

Sporophytic control of pollen meiotic progression is mediated by tapetum expression of ABORTED MICROSPORES (2022)
Journal Article
Tidy, A. C., Ferjentsikova, I., Vizcay-Barrena, G., Liu, B., Yin, W., Higgins, J. D., …Wilson, Z. A. (2022). Sporophytic control of pollen meiotic progression is mediated by tapetum expression of ABORTED MICROSPORES. Journal of Experimental Botany, 73(16), 5543-5558. https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/erac225

Pollen development is dependent on the tapetum, a sporophytic anther cell layer surrounding the microspores that functions in pollen wall formation but is also essential for meiosis-associated development. There is clear evidence of crosstalk and co-... Read More about Sporophytic control of pollen meiotic progression is mediated by tapetum expression of ABORTED MICROSPORES.
