The effect of environment on endosperm cell-wall development in Triticum aestivum during grain filling: an infrared spectroscopic imaging study

open access: yes, 2007
One of the major factors contributing to the failure of new wheat varieties is seasonal variability in end-use quality. Consequently, it is important to produce varieties which are robust and stable over a range of environmental conditions.

Phenotypic, hydroponic performance assessment, and expression profiling of triple knockout negative regulator genes in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

open access: yesDiscover Plants
Rice is one of the most significant crops consumed daily by individuals. Enhancing and biofortifying rice to augment its nutritional value is a promising strategy for improving public health and tackling the widespread issue of micronutrient deficiencies.

Population recovery of an endangered macaw enhances long‐distance seed dispersal via stomatochory

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.
Seed dispersal by large, mobile vertebrates plays a key role in shaping plant spatial dynamics and community structure. However, how variation in animal population size influences the magnitude and spatial scale of seed dispersal remains poorly understood.

Prolonged endosperm filling and embryo enlargement phases contribute to the impaired development of inferior grains in japonica rice

open access: yes
Inferior grains exhibit delayed developmental processes and reduced metabolic activities compared to superior grains, leading to unstable rice yield and quality. While significant advancements have been achieved in elucidating the physiology of endosperm

Barley starch [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This thesis examined barley amylopectin structure and looked for correlations between the structure and physical properties of starch. The structure of amylopectin and gelatinisation and retrogradation of starch were studied in 10 different barley ...

Development and adoption of Kernza—A perennial grain crop for sustainable agriculture

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1517-1532, September 2026.
Annual cereal grains account for ~50% of human food calories, but cultivation of these crops has resulted in major environmental and social issues worldwide. For nearly three decades, researchers have been breeding intermediate wheatgrass—a perennial cool‐season grass—to serve as the world's first commercial‐scale perennial grain crop to improve ...

Molecular insights and translational opportunities to enhance heat tolerance in rice

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Heat stress is an increasingly serious threat to rice (Oryza sativa L.) productivity, yet the genetic and regulatory architecture underlying thermotolerance remain poorly resolved and fragmented across studies. Earlier research focused on individual pathways or specific developmental stages; however, recent advances now support an integrated ...

Re‐sequencing 142 rice genomes reveals the fine‐scale population structure and phylogenetic affinities of landraces of Kashmir Valley: Evidence from domestication and adaptive signatures

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract The emergence of rice (Oryza sativa) as a cultivated crop has represented a landmark in the history of agriculture in Kashmir Valley. Unlike winter cereals, such as wheat and barley, which exhibit clear West‐Asian origins, rice attained a different domestication trajectory linked to East‐Asian Neolithic cultures.

A pangenome‐based approach reveals genes associated with polyploidy and apomixis in Eragrostis curvula

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Eragrostis curvula is a forage grass species in which multiple cytotypes coexist and shifts between sexual and apomictic reproduction are common. This study investigates genetic variation among these cytotypes in relation to ploidy levels and reproductive modes.

Induction of α-amylase and endosperm-imposed seed dormancy: two pioneering papers in gibberellin research

open access: yes
Main conclusion Two papers with quite different objectives established protocols that proved pivotal for future work on the role of gibberellins in seed germination Abstract: In their paper published in 1967, Russell Jones and Joseph Varner (Planta 72 ...
