Journal ArticleDOI
A carbohydrate-binding protein, B-GRANULE CONTENT 1, influences starch granule size distribution in a dose-dependent manner in polyploid wheat.
Tansy Chia,Marcella Chirico,Robert King,Ricardo H. Ramirez-Gonzalez,Benedetta Saccomanno,David Seung,James Simmonds,Martin Trick,Cristobal Uauy,Tamara Verhoeven,Kay Trafford +10 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that BGC1 participates in controlling B-type starch granule initiation in Triticeae endosperm and that its precise effect on granule size and number varies with gene dose and stage of development.
Journal ArticleDOI
LYS3 encodes a prolamin-box-binding transcription factor that controls embryo growth in barley and wheat.
Beata Orman-Ligeza,Philippa Borrill,Tansy Chia,Marcella Chirico,Jaroslav Doležel,Sinéad Drea,Miroslava Karafiátová,Nicole Schatlowski,Charles U. Solomon,Charles U. Solomon,Burkhard Steuernagel,Brande B. H. Wulff,Cristobal Uauy,Kay Trafford +13 more
TL;DR: This work predicted the down-stream target genes of PBF in wheat and found them to be involved in a wide range of biological processes, including organ development and starch metabolism and suggests that PBF may influence embryo size and endosperm starch synthesis via separate gene control networks.

LYS3 encodes a prolamin-box-binding transcription factor that controls embryo growth in barley and wheat
Beata Orman-Ligeza,Philippa Borrill,Tansy Chia,Marcella Chirico,Jaroslav Doležel,Sinéad Drea,Miroslava Karafiátová,Nicole Schatlowski,Charles U. Solomon,Charles U. Solomon,Burkhard Steuernagel,Brande B. H. Wulff,Cristobal Uauy,Kay Trafford +13 more
TL;DR: This paper found that mutations at the Lys3 locus in barley have multiple effects on grain development, including an increase in embryo size and a decrease in endosperm starch content.

A carbohydrate-binding protein, FLOURY ENDOSPERM 6 influences the initiation of A- and B-type starch granules in wheat.
Tansy Chia,Marcella Chirico,Robert King,Ricardo H. Ramirez-Gonzalez,Benedetta Saccomanno,David Seung,James Simmonds,Marti Trick,Cristobal Uauy,Tamara Verhoeven,Kay Trafford +10 more
TL;DR: Analysis of Franubet (fractured Nubet) starch suggests that the mutant A-granules in a wheat flo6 triple mutant are not fractured but compound, due to stimulation of granule initiation in plastids during early-grain development.
Posted ContentDOI
Adaptation to sorbic acid in low sugar promotes resistance of spoilage yeasts to the preservative
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors reported enhanced sorbic acid resistance of spoilage yeasts in low-glucose conditions. But they did not investigate the role of glucose signalling and repression pathways in low glucose induced sour acid resistance, which was alleviated by supplementing yeast cultures with succinic acid, a metabolic intermediate of respiratory metabolism.
