Research Digest

The Agri-TechE Research Digest features a round-up of key agri-research findings ranging from discovery science, through to applied, translation and field scale trials results.

The search or tags can be used to find subject specific information for example: overcoming resistance, plant science, pest management, pollinators, soils. Also crop specific research such as  wheat , peas & beans.

Arabidopsis COOLAIR activates timing of flowering

The first frost activates the timing of flowering

Researcher Dr Yusheng Zhao said: “Our study shows the first seasonal frost serves as an important indicator of winter arrival and helps to explain how plants sense environmental signals to align flowering with spring.”

Global risks to food security leads to a code of ethics for plant disease reporting

How should aggressive plant pathogens be reported? The Sainsbury Laboratory has collaborated on a project that discovered the origins of the virulent fungal disease Wheat Blast  – the findings have led to the development of a new code of ethics for reporting diseases.

rust turns off genes

Yellow rust turns off genes in wheat during its attack

As rust fungi attack, they turn on and off particular genes in wheat to prevent the plant from defending itself. When successful, this stops the plant from killing the invading fungus and ultimately leads to severe plant disease.

Crops are more vulnerable to weeds

Crops more vulnerable to weeds now than in 1843

Crops are more vulnerable to weeds now than before the advent of herbicides, according to a new study, using data from the Broadbalk winter wheat trials, the world’s longest running experiment.

Wheat genome sequenced, Dr Cockram NIAB

Genomes for 15 globally important wheat varieties sequenced

The genomes for 15 important wheat varieties used in breeding programmes around the world have been sequenced; a landmark discovery for global wheat production. The results from the Wheat 10+ Genomes Project will enable plant scientists and breeders to much more quickly identify influential genes for improved yield, pest resistance and other important crop traits.

Nitrogen fixation for cereals to sustainably increase yields in Africa

To avoid infection with the wrong type of microbes, legume plants need to accurately identify the beneficial symbiotic bacteria that help them to fix nitrogen.  A group of scientists have discovered the mechanism that enables legumes to do this, offering a major step towards their goal to engineer nitrogen fixation in cereal crops. Improved nitrogen uptake would reduce the need for artificial fertilisers.

Soil health depends on soil carbon

Altered Carbon: New study shows importance of manure for soil health

The Victorian-era switch from manure to artificial fertiliser has resulted in damage to the microbial communities that maintain soil structure, according to new work from Rothamsted Research. Andrew Neal, lead researcher of the study, says carbon is crucial for soil health and the microorganisms within it.

Climate impact of grass-fed herds

Climate impact of grass-fed herds over estimated according to new research

Climate impact of grass-fed herds in pastures, that include white clover, are less than previous IPPC estimates, which are based on collated data not direct measurement and underestimate the reduction in microbial activity.

Vomiting bumblebees show that sweeter is not necessarily better

Vomiting bumblebees show that sweeter is not necessarily better

A new study using bumblebees has found that the sweetest nectar is not necessarily the best: too much sugar slows down the bees. The results will inform breeding efforts to make crops more attractive to pollinators, boosting yields to feed our growing global population.

Gene boost in battle against black-grass

A new method, enabling the genetic alteration of Black-grass to understand how herbicide resistance develops, has been described as ‘game changing’ by the lead scientist, Dr Dana MacGregor of Rothamsted Research.
