TL;DR: This annotated reference sequence of wheat is a resource that can now drive disruptive innovation in wheat improvement, as this community resource establishes the foundation for accelerating wheat research and application through improved understanding of wheat biology and genomics-assisted breeding.

TL;DR: The role of L-AA in metabolism and the latest studies regarding its bio- synthesis, tissue compartmentalisation, turnover and catabolism are focused on, as well as the potential to improve the L- AA content of crops.

TL;DR: Leaf necrosis correlated with accumulation of oxidized glutathione and a 4‐fold decrease in ascorbate, indicating that catalase is critical for maintaining the redox balance during oxidative stress and may not be limited to peroxisomal H2O2 production.

TL;DR: This study leverages 850 wheat RNA-sequencing samples, alongside the annotated genome, to determine the similarities and differences between homoeolog expression across a range of tissues, developmental stages, and cultivars and suggests that the transposable elements in promoters relate more closely to the variation in the relative expression of homoeologicals across tissues than to a ubiquitous effect across all tissues.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a partitioning step into n- butanol during sample preparation is essential and that gradient HPLC analysis is necessary to prevent sample carryover between injections, and that the starting composition of the mobile phase must be sufficiently hydrophobic to allow direct injection of the n-butanol extracts without peak splitting, tailing, and other artifacts.
