A dramatic change in agricultural crops is needed in order to keep pace with the demands of
an increasing human population, exponential need for renewable fuels, and uncertain …

Abstract In the South Australian wheat belt, cyclic drought is a frequent event represented by
intermittent periods of rainfall which can occur around anthesis and post-anthesis in wheat …

Wheat is one of the most important cereals, whose growth and development is strongly
limited by drought. This study investigated the physiological and metabolic response of six …

Fructans are not digested in the small intestines of humans. While many health benefits
have been attributed to these carbohydrates, they can cause gastrointestinal symptoms in …

Agronomic and physiological traits associated with drought adaptation were assessed within
the Seri/Babax recombinant inbred line population, which was derived from parents similar …

The water-soluble carbohydrate (WSC) that accumulates in the stems of wheat during
growth can be an important contributor to grain filling, particularly under conditions when …

In wheat, the ability to store and remobilise large amounts of stem water soluble
carbohydrates (WSC) to grain constitutes a desirable trait to incorporate into germplasm …

Drought adversely affects crop production in areas with water shortages. In such areas,
various methods need to be implemented to alleviate the effect of water stress on plants …

In order to understand the effects of sugar metabolism on drought resistance in wheat, two
wheat cultivars with different levels of drought resistance were used in this study. We …

Fructans are prebiotics, with potentially beneficial effects on human health. This study aimed
to examine genetic variation in wheat grain fructan content using a simplified analytical …
