Raman R, Zhang Z, Diffey S, Qiu Y, Niu Y, Zou J, et al.
BMC Plant Biol . 2024 Sep; 24(1):892. PMID: 39343887
Background: Understanding the genetic control of pod shatter resistance and its association with pod length is crucial for breeding improved pod shatter resistance and reducing pre-harvest yield losses due to...

John-Bejai C, Trethowan R, Revell I, de Groot S, Shezi L, Koekemoer F, et al.
Front Plant Sci . 2024 Jul; 15:1398715. PMID: 38993941
Hybrid breeding can increase the competitiveness of wheat ( L.) in Sub-Saharan Africa by fostering more public-private partnerships and promoting investment by the private sector. The benefit of hybrid wheat...

Du H, Raman H, Kawasaki A, Perera G, Diffey S, Snowdon R, et al.
Funct Plant Biol . 2022 Jun; 49(10):845-860. PMID: 35753342
Acid soils limit yields of many important crops including canola (Brassica napus ), Australia's third largest crop. Aluminium (Al3+ ) stress is the main cause of this limitation primarily because...

Vance W, Pradeep K, Strachan S, Diffey S, Bell R
Front Plant Sci . 2021 Jul; 12:678211. PMID: 34249045
In acid soils, the toxic form of aluminium, Al, significantly inhibits root growth and elongation, leading to less water and nutrient uptake. Previous research had shown differential Al toxicity tolerance...

Ratanpaul V, Zhang D, Williams B, Diffey S, Black J, Gidley M
Eur J Nutr . 2021 May; 60(7):4001-4017. PMID: 33950401
Purpose: The combined effects of grain digestibility and dietary fibre on digesta passage rate and satiety in humans are poorly understood. Satiety can be increased through gastric distention, reduced gastric...

Raman R, Diffey S, Barbulescu D, Coombes N, Luckett D, Salisbury P, et al.
Sci Rep . 2020 Mar; 10(1):4416. PMID: 32157120
Sustainable canola production is essential to meet growing human demands for vegetable oil, biodiesel, and meal for stock feed markets. Blackleg, caused by the fungal pathogen, Leptosphaeria maculans is a...

Ratanpaul V, Zhang D, Williams B, Diffey S, Black J, Gidley M
Food Funct . 2019 Nov; 10(12):8298-8308. PMID: 31723952
Undigested nutrients and fermentable fibre in the distal ileum and colon stimulate intestinal brakes, which reduce gastric-emptying and digesta-passage-rate, and subsequently limit feed/food-intake. Fibre can also stimulate passage rate potentially...

Raman H, Raman R, Diffey S, Qiu Y, McVittie B, Barbulescu D, et al.
Front Plant Sci . 2018 Dec; 9:1622. PMID: 30532758
The hemibiotrophic fungus, is the most devastating pathogen, causing blackleg disease in canola ( L). To study the genomic regions involved in quantitative resistance (QR), 259-276 DH lines from Darmor-/Yudal...

Raman H, Raman R, Coombes N, Song J, Diffey S, Kilian A, et al.
Front Plant Sci . 2016 Nov; 7:1513. PMID: 27822217
Key message "We identified both quantitative and quantitative resistance loci to , a fungal pathogen, causing blackleg disease in canola. Several genome-wide significant associations were detected at known and new...

Raman H, Raman R, Kilian A, Detering F, Carling J, Coombes N, et al.
PLoS One . 2014 Jul; 9(7):e101673. PMID: 25006804
Resistance to pod shattering (shatter resistance) is a target trait for global rapeseed (canola, Brassica napus L.), improvement programs to minimise grain loss in the mature standing crop, and during...
