Cook N, Gobbato G, Jacott C, Marchal C, Hsieh C, Lam A, et al.
Nature . 2025 Jan; 638(8051):752-759. PMID: 39814887
Nutrient acquisition is crucial for sustaining life. Plants develop beneficial intracellular partnerships with arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) and nitrogen-fixing bacteria to surmount the scarcity of soil nutrients and tap into atmospheric...

Osman K, Desjardins S, Simmonds J, Burridge A, Kanyuka K, Henderson I, et al.
New Phytol . 2024 Apr; 244(2):528-541. PMID: 38584326
Meiotic crossovers (COs) generate genetic diversity and are crucial for viable gamete production. Plant COs are typically limited to 1-3 per chromosome pair, constraining the development of improved varieties, which...

Backhaus A, Griffiths C, Vergara-Cruces A, Simmonds J, Lee R, Morris R, et al.
J Exp Bot . 2023 Jun; 74(17):5088-5103. PMID: 37338600
Large differences exist in the number of grains per spikelet across an individual wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) spike. The central spikelets produce the highest number of grains, while apical and...

Fusi R, Rosignoli S, Lou H, Sangiorgi G, Bovina R, Pattem J, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2022 Jul; 119(31):e2201350119. PMID: 35881796
Root angle in crops represents a key trait for efficient capture of soil resources. Root angle is determined by competing gravitropic versus antigravitropic offset (AGO) mechanisms. Here we report a...

Desjardins S, Simmonds J, Guterman I, Kanyuka K, Burridge A, Tock A, et al.
Nat Commun . 2022 Jun; 13(1):3644. PMID: 35752733
FANCM suppresses crossovers in plants by unwinding recombination intermediates. In wheat, crossovers are skewed toward the chromosome ends, thus limiting generation of novel allelic combinations. Here, we observe that FANCM...

Dixon L, Pasquariello M, Badgami R, Levin K, Poschet G, Ng P, et al.
Sci Adv . 2022 May; 8(19):eabn5907. PMID: 35544571
Plant and inflorescence architecture determine the yield potential of crops. Breeders have harnessed natural diversity for inflorescence architecture to improve yields, and induced genetic variation could provide further gains. Wheat...

Backhaus A, Lister A, Tomkins M, Adamski N, Simmonds J, Macaulay I, et al.
Plant Physiol . 2022 Apr; 189(3):1536-1552. PMID: 35377414
Spikelets are the fundamental building blocks of Poaceae inflorescences, and their development and branching patterns determine the various inflorescence architectures and grain yield of grasses. In wheat (Triticum aestivum), the...

Shorinola O, Simmonds J, Wingen L, Uauy C
G3 (Bethesda) . 2021 Dec; 12(2). PMID: 34897454
There are now a rich variety of genomic and genotypic resources available to wheat researchers and breeders. However, the generation of high-quality and field-relevant phenotyping data which is required to...

Nat Biotechnol . 2021 Nov; 40(3):422-431. PMID: 34725503
Aegilops tauschii, the diploid wild progenitor of the D subgenome of bread wheat, is a reservoir of genetic diversity for improving bread wheat performance and environmental resilience. Here we sequenced...
