TL;DR: The developed array and cluster identification algorithms provide an opportunity to infer detailed haplotype structure in polyploid wheat and will serve as an invaluable resource for diversity studies and investigating the genetic basis of trait variation in wheat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome-wide comparative diversity uncovers multiple targets of selection for improvement in hexaploid wheat landraces and cultivars.

TL;DR: It is shown that selection likely acts on distinct targets or multiple functionally equivalent alleles in different portions of the geographic range of wheat, suggesting either weak selection pressure or temporal variation in the targets of directional selection during breeding probably associated with changing agricultural practices or environmental conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
From bacterial glycogen to starch: understanding the biogenesis of the plant starch granule.
Steven G. Ball,Matthew K. Morell +1 more
TL;DR: Comparisons of phenotypes generated by debranching enzyme-defective mutants in Escherichia coli and plants suggest that enzymes previously thought to be involved in polysaccharide degradation have been recruited during evolution to serve a particular purpose in starch biosynthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent progress toward understanding biosynthesis of the amylopectin crystal.
TL;DR: Starch consists almost entirely of the Glc homopolymers amylopectin and amylose, and is the major contributor to both mass and granule structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-amylose wheat generated by RNA interference improves indices of large-bowel health in rats
Ahmed Regina,Anthony R. Bird,David L. Topping,Sarah Bowden,Judy Patricia Freeman,Tina Barsby,Behjat Kosar-Hashemi,Zhongyi Li,Sadequr Rahman,Matthew K. Morell +9 more
TL;DR: When the >70% amylose wheat grain was fed to rats in a diet as a wholemeal, several indices of large-bowel function, including short-chain fatty acids, were improved relative to standard wholemeal wheat.
