Journal ArticleDOI
Speed breeding is a powerful tool to accelerate crop research and breeding
Amy Watson,Sreya Ghosh,Matthew J. Williams,William S. Cuddy,James Simmonds,María-Dolores Rey,M. Asyraf Md Hatta,M. Asyraf Md Hatta,Alison Hinchliffe,A. Steed,Daniel Reynolds,Nikolai M. Adamski,Andy Breakspear,Andrey V. Korolev,Tracey Rayner,Laura E. Dixon,Adnan Riaz,William Martin,Merrill Ryan,David Edwards,Jacqueline Batley,Harsh Raman,Jeremy Carter,Christian Rogers,Claire Domoney,Graham Moore,Wendy Harwood,Paul Nicholson,Mark J. Dieters,Ian H. DeLacy,Ji Zhou,Cristobal Uauy,Scott A. Boden,Robert F. Park,Brande B. H. Wulff,Lee T. Hickey +35 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that speed breeding in fully enclosed, controlled-environment growth chambers can accelerate plant development for research purposes, including phenotyping of adult plant traits, mutant studies and transformation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Circadian rhythms persist without transcription in a eukaryote
John S. O’Neill,Gerben van Ooijen,Laura E. Dixon,Carl Troein,Florence Corellou,François-Yves Bouget,Akhilesh B. Reddy,Andrew J. Millar +7 more
TL;DR: Non-transcriptional mechanisms are sufficient to sustain circadian timekeeping in the eukaryotic lineage, although they normally function in conjunction with transcriptional components, and oxidation of peroxiredoxin proteins is identified as a transcription-independent rhythmic biomarker, which is also rhythmic in mammals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal repression of core circadian genes is mediated through EARLY FLOWERING 3 in Arabidopsis
Laura E. Dixon,Kirsten Knox,László Kozma-Bognár,Megan M Southern,Alexandra Pokhilko,Andrew J. Millar +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that ELF3 associates physically with the promoter of PSEUDO-RESPONSE REGULATOR 9 (PRR9), a repressor of CCA1 and LHY expression, in a time-dependent fashion, which reconciles the functions of ELf3 in the clock network during the night and points to further effects ofELF3 during the day.
Journal ArticleDOI
TEOSINTE BRANCHED1 Regulates Inflorescence Architecture and Development in Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum).
Laura E. Dixon,Julian R. Greenwood,Stefano Bencivenga,Peng Zhang,James Cockram,Gregory Mellers,K. Ramm,Colin Cavanagh,Steve M. Swain,Scott A. Boden +9 more
TL;DR: It is proposed TB1 coordinates formation of axillary spikelets during the vegetative to floral transition and that alleles known to modify dosage or function of TB1 could help increase wheat yields.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-parent populations in crops: a toolbox integrating genomics and genetic mapping with breeding
Michael F. Scott,Olufunmilayo Ladejobi,Samer Amer,Alison R. Bentley,Jay M. Biernaskie,Scott A. Boden,Matthew D. Clark,Matteo Dell’Acqua,Laura E. Dixon,Carla Valeria Filippi,Nick Fradgley,Keith A. Gardner,Ian Mackay,Donal M. O'Sullivan,Lawrence Percival-Alwyn,Manish Roorkiwal,Rakesh Singh,Mahendar Thudi,Rajeev K. Varshney,Luca Venturini,Alex Whan,James Cockram,Richard Mott +22 more
TL;DR: An ideal genotypic, phenotypic and germplasm ‘package’ that multi-parent populations should feature to optimise their use as powerful community resources for crop research, development and breeding is proposed.
