a major locus for chloride accumulation on chromosome 5a in bread wheat.	chloride (cl-) is an essential micronutrient for plant growth, but can be toxic at high concentrations resulting in reduced growth and yield. although saline soils are generally dominated by both sodium (na+) and cl- ions, compared to na+ toxicity, very little is known about physiological and genetic control mechanisms of tolerance to cl- toxicity. in hydroponics and field studies, a bread wheat mapping population was tested to examine the relationships between physiological traits [na+, potassi ...	2014	24893005
how changing root system architecture can help tackle a reduction in soil phosphate (p) levels for better plant p acquisition.	the readily available global rock phosphate (p) reserves may run out within the next 50-130 years, causing soils to have a reduced p concentration which will affect plant p uptake. using a combination of mathematical modelling and experimental data, we investigated potential plant-based options for optimizing crop p uptake in reduced soil p environments. by varying the p concentration within a well-mixed agricultural soil, for high and low p (35.5-12.5 mg l(-1) respectively using olsen's p index ...	2015	24891045
transcript suppression of tagw2 increased grain width and weight in bread wheat.	bread wheat (triticum aestivum l.) is a major staple crop in the world. grain weight is a major factor of grain yield in wheat, and the identification of candidate genes associated with grain weight is very important for high-yield breeding of wheat. tagw2 is an orthologous gene of rice osgw2 that negatively regulates the grain width and weight in rice. there are three tagw2 homoeologs in bread wheat, tagw2a, tagw2b, and tagw2d. in this study, a specific tagw2-rna interference (rnai) cassette wa ...	2014	24890396

structure-activity relationship studies of the phytotoxic properties of the diterpenic moiety of breviones.	brevianes are a family of bioactive meroterpenoids originally described in fungi of the family penicillium. these compounds have attracted a great deal of interest not only because of their unusual skeleton, suggesting a mixed mevalonate and polyketide biogenetic pathway, and their unusual oxa-spiro ring fused to an α-pyrone, but also because of the bioactivities shown by many members of this family.	2015	24839263
mrna and small rna transcriptomes reveal insights into dynamic homoeolog regulation of allopolyploid heterosis in nascent hexaploid wheat.	nascent allohexaploid wheat may represent the initial genetic state of common wheat (triticum aestivum), which arose as a hybrid between triticum turgidum (aabb) and aegilops tauschii (dd) and by chromosome doubling and outcompeted its parents in growth vigor and adaptability. to better understand the molecular basis for this success, we performed mrna and small rna transcriptome analyses in nascent allohexaploid wheat and its following generations, their progenitors, and the natural allohexaplo ...	2014	24838975
complementary epistasis involving sr12 explains adult plant resistance to stem rust in thatcher wheat (triticum aestivum l.).	quantitative trait loci conferring adult plant resistance to ug99 stem rust in thatcher wheat display complementary gene action suggesting multiple quantitative trait loci are needed for effective resistance. adult plant resistance (apr) in wheat (triticum aestivum l.) to stem rust, caused by puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (pgt), is desirable because this resistance can be pgt race non-specific. resistance derived from cultivar thatcher can confer high levels of apr to the virulent pgt race tt ...	2014	24838645
carbaryl toxicity prediction to soil organisms under high and low temperature regimes.	many studies on risk assessment of pesticides on non-target organisms have been performed based on standardized protocols that reflect conditions in temperate climates. however, the responses of organisms to chemical compounds may differ according to latitude and thus predicting the toxicity of chemicals at different temperatures is an important factor to consider in risk assessment. the toxic effects of the pesticide carbaryl were evaluated at different temperature regimes, which are indicative ...	2015	24836932
generation of a toxa knockout strain of the wheat tan spot pathogen pyrenophora tritici-repentis.	the necrotrophic fungal pathogen pyrenophora tritici-repentis causes tan spot, a major disease of wheat, throughout the world. the proteinaceous effector toxa is responsible for foliar necrosis on toxa-sensitive wheat genotypes. the single copy toxa gene was deleted from a wild-type race 1 p. tritici-repentis isolate via homologous recombination of a knockout construct. expression of the toxa transcript was found to be absent in transformants (toxa), as was toxa protein production in fungal cult ...	2014	24831982
identification of a hidden resistance gene in tetraploid wheat using laboratory strains of pyricularia oryzae produced by backcrossing.	in the process (bc3f1 generation) of backcrossing an avena isolate of pyricularia oryzae with a triticum isolate, color mutants with white mycelia were obtained. these white mutants lacked virulence on all (31/31) hexaploid and most (28/32) tetraploid wheat lines tested. in a bc4f1 population, white and black cultures segregated in a 1:1 ratio, suggesting that the mutant phenotype is controlled by a single gene. furthermore, the mycelial color was perfectly linked with avirulence in the bc4f1 po ...	2014	24824421
readily available phosphorous and nitrogen counteract for arsenic uptake and distribution in wheat (triticum aestivum l.).	elevated arsenic content in food crops pose a serious human health risk. apart from rice wheat being another main food crop is possibly cultivated on contaminated sites. but for wheat uptake mechanisms are not entirely understood especially with regard to nutrient fertilization and different moisture regimes taking into account heavy rainfall events due to climate change. here we show that especially higher p-fertilization under changing redox conditions may enhance arsenic uptake. this countera ...	2014	24821134

is the multicolored asian ladybeetle, harmonia axyridis, the most abundant natural enemy to aphids in agroecosystems?	the multicolored asian ladybeetle, harmonia axyridis pallas (coleoptera: coccinellidae), was introduced into western europe in the late 1990s. since the late 2000s, this species has been commonly considered one of the most abundant aphid predators in most western european countries. in spite of the large amount of research on h. axyridis, information concerning its relative abundance in agroecosystems is lacking. this study aims to evaluate the abundance of h. axyridis within the aphidophage com ...	2013	24785375
toward an understanding of mechanisms involved in non-polyphenol oxidase (non-ppo) darkening in yellow alkaline noodles (yan).	asian noodles prepared from bread wheat flour darken over time due to a combination of polyphenol oxidase (ppo) activity and non-ppo effects. although the enzymatic mechanism associated with the ppo reaction is well established, the non-ppo component consists of both physical (e.g., changes in surface properties) and chemical reactions. variations in ph and solvents were used to gain a quantitative estimate of the contribution of physical and chemical components to non-ppo darkening in yellow al ...	2014	24784975

contribution of predator identity to the suppression of herbivores by a diverse predator assemblage.	studies manipulating predator diversity and measuring the impact on herbivore abundance have found that enhancing predator species richness often increases the strength of prey suppression. this relationship may be due to mechanisms such as complementarity or facilitation, which are considered "true" benefits of diversity because greater prey suppression is an emergent property of the multispecies predator community. or it may be due to an identity effect, an "apparent" benefit of diversity that ...	2014	24755243
