, 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 ...

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Saharan striped polecats in agricultural landscapes use many burrows (30–35 per season), facilitated by sandy soils. Burrow sharing is rare and mainly occurs between males and females during mating. Habitat use shifts seasonally, reflecting disturbance and soil conditions. Maintaining stable sandy habitats may be critical for persistence.

Harnessing plant susceptibility genes into strategies for enhanced disease resistance
New Plant Protection, EarlyView.Integrated model of S gene modules in plant pathogen interactions. This model summarises representative host susceptibility modules that can be exploited by bacterial, fungal and viral pathogens. In the bacterial infection module, Xanthomonas transcription activator‐like effectors activate OsSWEET14 through effector‐binding elements in its promoter ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Understanding how psychological constructs shape farmers' views on agri‐environmental policy and the role of pollinators in agriculture can help design effective and legitimate agricultural policies. While farmers are key actors in pollinator conservation, recent farmer protests indicate that their support for agri‐environmental policies such ...

Past, present and future of local crop evolution
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Promoting agrobiodiversity is a promising strategy for mitigating the negative effects of climate change on global food security. We highlight the central role evolutionary processes play in harnessing the potential of local crops by integrating genomics, archaeology, ethnobotany and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK).

Breeding for multi‐stress resilience in crops: Myth or possibility?
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Climate change threatens millions of farmers worldwide by exposing crops to multiple concurrent or sequential environmental stresses such as drought, heat, waterlogging, and diseases. Although crops have long been selected under naturally occurring multi‐stress conditions, breeding pipelines largely focus on optimal or single‐stress environments ...

Root plasticity and Pi recycling within plants contribute to low-P tolerance in Tibetan wild barley
BMC Plant Biology, 2019 Background Barley is a low phosphorus (P) demand cereal crop. Tibetan wild barley, as a progenitor of cultivated barley, has revealed outstanding ability of tolerance to low-P stress.

Black point of barley: doesn’t mean Guinness!
, 2005 The major end use of malting barley is for the production of beer. The malt can have a significant influence on brewing efficiency and final beer quality. Black pointed barley grain is considered unacceptable by maltsters because of the assumption it may
