Journal ArticleDOI
Transcripts of Vp-1 homeologues are misspliced in modern wheat and ancestral species
Rowan S. McKibbin,Mark Wilkinson,Paul Bailey,John E. Flintham,Lucy M. Andrew,Paul A. Lazzeri,Michael D. Gale,John R. Lenton,Michael J. Holdsworth +8 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that missplicing of wheat Vp-1 genes contributes to susceptibility to PHS in modern hexaploid wheat varieties and identifies a possible route to increase resistance to this environmentally triggered disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic map locations for orthologous Vp1 genes in wheat and rice
Paul Bailey,Rowan S. McKibbin,John R. Lenton,Michael J. Holdsworth,John E. Flintham,Michael D. Gale +5 more
TL;DR: This unequivocal, genetic separation of the Vp1 and R loci may offer an opportunity for improving resistance to pre-harvest sprouting in wheat by combining the coat-imposed dormancy associated with red seed colour and true embryo dormancy regulated by Vp 1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative activity of the enantiomers of triadimenol and paclobutrazol as inhibitors of fungal growth and plant sterol and gibberellin biosynthesis
Raymond S. Burden,Geoffrey A. Carter,Terence Clark,David T. Cooke,Steven J. Croker,Adrian H. B. Deas,Peter Hedden,Carolyn S. James,John R. Lenton +8 more
TL;DR: Data indicate that the R configuration at the chiral carbon bearing the hydroxyl group is the prime determinant for fungitoxicity whereas enantiomers having the S configuration at this carbon are effective inhibitors of gibberellin biosynthesis.
Journal Article
Comparison of gibberellins in normal and slender barley seedlings
TL;DR: The results show that the pool sizes of gibberellins A(1) and A(3) are small in slender barley and that leaf sheath extension in this genotype appears to be gibBerellin-independent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Function and transcript analysis of gibberellin-biosynthetic enzymes in wheat
Nigel E. J. Appleford,Nigel E. J. Appleford,Daniel J Evans,John R. Lenton,Paul Gaskin,Stephen J. Croker,Stephen J. Croker,Katrien M. Devos,Andrew L. Phillips,Peter Hedden +9 more
TL;DR: Time course and enzyme kinetic studies indicate that the initial oxidation steps from GA12 and GA53 to the free alcohol forms of GA15 and GA44 occur rapidly but that subsequent steps occur more slowly, consistent with its accumulation in wheat tissues.
