Identification of universal grass genes and estimates of their monocot- / commelinid- /grass-specificity
AbstractMotivation. Where experiments identify sets of grass genes of unknown function, for example underlying a QTL or co-expressed in a transcriptome, it

The evolutionary success of grasses transformed planet earth and underpins agriculture. My new analysis doi.org/10.1093/bioa... looked for protein-coding genes responsible for this success and found 4,609 putative universal genes with lineage specific functions . #plantscience #plantevolution

A High Soluble‐Fibre Allele in Wheat Encodes a Defective Cell Wall Peroxidase Responsible for Dimerization of Ferulate Moieties on Arabinoxylan
Increasing dietary fibre (DF) intake is an important target to improve health. An attractive strategy for this is to increase DF in wheat which is derived principally from the endosperm cell wall pol...
