This work investigated control of phoma leaf spot through targeted control at both causal pathogens – Leptosphaeria maculans and L. biglobosa
Plant breeders now have genetic markers to track eyespot resistance, improved protein and yield penalty traits in winter wheat, thanks to this work
This PhD identified genomic regions associated with biotic and abiotic stress resistance in the ancient ‘Bere’ barley landrace.
A large wheat genetic mapping population, called MAGIC, was used to develop molecular tools to track yield traits in breeding programmes.
How air temperatures influence disease resistance to phoma in oilseed rape during the growing season was investigated by this research. Details on which genes and mechanisms are most affected by elevated temperatures were also been revealed
Unexpected levels of septoria tritici infection reported on the winter wheat variety Cougar in 2015 were shown, by this research, to be limited to that specific variety.
Ways to ensure erucic acid in food-grade rapeseed oil is below legal limits were investigated in this project.
Hands Free Hectare 2 built on the experiences during the 2016 to 2017 cropping season to farm a one hectare of winter wheat autonomously.
The overall aim of this project was to establish methods for phenotypic screening and crop data collection to support QTL mapping of variation in wheat ear sterility.
