The Brassica Information Portal (BIP), released by TGAC, will provide a single point of access to all data from pre-breeding trait scoring experiments performed on
A free online tool that makes it easier for non-specialists to interpret genomic information has been developed by scientists at The Genome Analysis Centre (TGAC) and
Some plants can protect themselves from attack by disease by setting molecular traps. Once the disease has been detected it is lured by a ‘bait’ and then
A major milestone in crop breeding was announced recently: researchers have made significant progress in unravelling the secrets of the complex wheat genome, which is
The most complete and accurate bread wheat genome assembly to date with 91 per cent (98,974 genes) of the total genome annotated and assembled; is
Red clover and other legume crops played an essential role in crop rotation before introduction of industrial nitrogen fertiliser production, however the clover only grows well
Wheat has a very large and complex genome, five times larger than that of human. It is made by the hybridisation of three closely related
A new method to determine if a bread wheat variant is resistant to wheat yellow rust is now possible following the identification of new genetic markers
