How wheat creates a chemical defence to disease

Wheat defends itself against disease by producing chemicals, new research has led to the discovery of the several sets of genes that are switched on in response to an attack and a new molecule named ellarinacin.

The research by the Osbourn and Uauy groups of the John Innes Centre leveraged recent advances in mapping of bread wheat’s complex genome to make the discovery.

Greater Wax Moth (Galleria mellonella)

New bacteria discovered in moth gut provides insights into antibiotic resistance

A new species of bacteria with naturally acquired antibiotic resistance has been discovered by researchers at the John Innes Centre in the gut of the Greater Wax Moth. The moth has a similar immune system to mammals and the new Enterococcus bacteria is closely related to strains responsible for hospital-acquired infections, so the discovery provides useful insights into how resistance is acquired.

Collaborating to drive Agri-Tech Innovation on the NRP

Agri-Tech Week: Collaborating to drive Agri-Tech Innovation on the Norwich Research Park

This Agri-Tech Week event showcases agri-tech innovation from across the Norwich Research Park (NRP) around the theme of climate resilience in agriculture.

The NRP’s six science partners form an international centre of excellence in life and environmental sciences research, with particular strengths in plant and microbial sciences, genetics and genomics, climate and geo-sciences and food, health and human nutrition.

The event includes contributions from the John Innes Centre, UEA, Earlham Institute, and NRP tenants.

Benefit of on-farm diagnostic for wheat rust fungi demonstrated in Ethiopia

Benefit of on-farm diagnostic for wheat rust fungi demonstrated in Ethiopia

The best defence against wheat rust fungi is to grow varieties resistant to infection and now scientists have developed MARPLE, a hand-held DNA sequencing device, that can define the precise strain of the wheat rust fungus in a farmer’s field within just 48 hours of collecting samples.
