Four Haylages, One Metabonome: Defining Diet Driven Metabolic Shifts in Ponies
Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Haylage is widely fed to all categories of stabled horses across Europe and New Zealand. Haylage can vary from high energy nutrient dense forage to low energy highly fibrous fodder, yet little is known about the impact different haylages have on metabolism in horses.

Cytogenetics of Lolium perenne
Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 1983 An analysis of the patterns of chiasma distribution within bivalents, in a number of inbred lines of Lolium perenne, reveals a striking potential for variation in this character, as well as a polygenic genetic basis for its control. In parent plants the chiasmata have a regular pattern of localisation which restricts their formation to the ends of the ...

A Century of Understanding and Harnessing Heterosis
Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Heterosis has shaped modern plant breeding since Darwin's 19th century observations that outcrossing restores vigour lost through selfing. While 100 years old, its mechanistic basis and deployability remain actively debated. Classical models of dominance, overdominance and epistasis provided the foundation for hybrid breeding and converted ...

Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plants growing in nature are exposed to multiple abiotic and biotic stressors that sometimes occur sequentially. We hypothesised that drought will not compromise the resistance levels to herbivores when plants are associated with Epichloë endophytes able to produce bioactive alkaloids. Lolium perenne plants without (nil) and with Epichloë LpTG‐
