Ferroelectric materials are used in applications ranging from energy harvesting to high-power
electronic transducers 1 . However, industry-standard ferroelectric materials contain lead, …

Wheat stem rust, a devastating disease of wheat and barley caused by the fungal pathogen
Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici, was largely eradicated in Western Europe during the mid-to-…

Understanding the function of genes within staple crops will accelerate crop improvement
by allowing targeted breeding approaches. Despite their importance, a lack of genomic …

Improving traits in wheat has historically been challenging due to its large and polyploid
genome, limited genetic diversity and in‐field phenotyping constraints. However, within recent …

Senescence is a tightly regulated developmental program coordinated by transcription
factors. Identifying these transcription factors in crops will provide opportunities to tailor the …

There are numerous radio frequency and microwave device applications which require
materials with high electrical tunability and low dielectric loss. For phased array antenna …

Many important genes in agriculture correspond to transcription factors (TFs) that regulate a
wide range of pathways from flowering to responses to disease and abiotic stresses. In this …

Gene regulatory networks are powerful tools which facilitate hypothesis generation and
candidate gene discovery. However, the extent to which the network predictions are biologically …

Background NAC transcription factors contain five highly conserved subdomains which are
required for protein dimerisation and DNA binding. Few residues within these subdomains …

Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum) derives from a hybridization event approximately 400,000
years ago which led to the creation of an allotetraploid genome. The evolutionary recent …
