Rice pseudomolecule-anchored cross-species DNA sequence alignments indicate regional genomic variation in expressed sequence conservation (2007)
Journal Article
Armstead, I., Huang, L., King, J., Ougham, H., Thomas, H., & King, I. (2007). Rice pseudomolecule-anchored cross-species DNA sequence alignments indicate regional genomic variation in expressed sequence conservation. BMC Genomics, 8(1), Article 283. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2164-8-283

Background Various methods have been developed to explore inter-genomic relationships among plant species. Here, we present a sequence similarity analysis based upon comparison of transcript-assembly and methylation-filtered databases from five plan...

Comparative Analyses Between Lolium/Festuca Introgression Lines and Rice Reveal the Major Fraction of Functionally Annotated Gene Models Is Located in Recombination-Poor/Very Recombination-Poor Regions of the Genome (2007)
Journal Article
King, J., Armstead, I., Donnison, S., Roberts, L., Harper, J., Skot, K., …King, I. (2007). Comparative Analyses Between Lolium/Festuca Introgression Lines and Rice Reveal the Major Fraction of Functionally Annotated Gene Models Is Located in Recombination-Poor/Very Recombination-Poor Regions of the Genome. Genetics, 177(1), 597-606. https://doi.org/10.1534/genetics.107.075515

Publication of the rice genome sequence has allowed an in-depth analysis of genome organization in a model monocot plant species. This has provided a powerful tool for genome analysis in large-genome unsequenced agriculturally important monocot speci...

From phenotype to genotype: whole tissue profiling for plant breeding (2007)
Journal Article
Goodacre, R., Roberts, L., Ellis, D. I., Thorogood, D., Reader, S. M., Ougham, H., & King, I. (2007). From phenotype to genotype: whole tissue profiling for plant breeding. Metabolomics, 3(4), 489-501. doi:10.1007/s11306-007-0062-6

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) was used to obtain ‘holistic’ metabolic fingerprints from a wide range of plants to differentiate species, population, single plant genotype, and chromosomal constitution differences. Sample preparation... Read More about From phenotype to genotype: whole tissue profiling for plant breeding.

Introgression mapping in the grasses (2007)
Journal Article
King, J., Armstead, I. P., Donnison, I. S., Harper, J. A., Roberts, L. A., Thomas, H., …King, I. P. (2007). Introgression mapping in the grasses. Chromosome Research, 15(1), 105-113. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10577-006-1103-0

The unique properties of Lolium/Festuca hybrids and their derivatives provide an ideal system for intergeneric introgression. At IGER a focus on the Lolium perenne/Festuca pratensis system is being exploited to elucidate genome organization in the gr... Read More about Introgression mapping in the grasses.

Cross-Species Identification of Mendel's I Locus (2007)
Journal Article
Armstead, I., Donnison, I., Aubry, S., Harper, J., Hortensteiner, S., James, C., …King, I. (2007). Cross-Species Identification of Mendel's I Locus. Science, 315(5808), 73-73. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1132912

A key gene involved in plant senescence, mutations of which partially disable chlorophyll catabolism and confer stay-green leaf and cotyledon phenotypes, has been identified in Pisum sativum, Arabidopsis thaliana, and Festuca pratensis by using class...
