Genetic basis of historical pea mutants that hyper-accumulate iron

S. A. Harrington, M. Franceschetti, J. Balk

This paper identifies mutations in BRUTUS and OPT3 genes responsible for iron hyper-accumulation in pea mutants, providing insights into iron signaling and potential strategies for crop biofortification.

Identification of a dominant chlorosis phenotype through a forward screen of the Triticum turgidum cv. Kronos TILLING population

S. A. Harrington, N. Cobo, M. Karafiatova, J. Dolezel, P. Borrill, C. Uauy

The paper identifies a dominant chlorosis phenotype in durum wheat through a forward genetic screen of a TILLING population and fine-maps the causal locus to a 4.3 Mb region on chromosome 3A.

Validation and characterisation of a wheat GENIE3 network using an independent RNA-Seq dataset

S. A. Harrington, A. E. Backhaus, A. Singh, K. Hassani-Pak, C. Uauy

The paper validates a wheat GENIE3 network using an independent RNA-Seq dataset, showing significant overlap between predicted targets and differentially expressed genes for NAM-A1.

Conserved residues in the wheat (Triticum aestivum) NAM-A1 NAC domain are required for protein binding and when mutated lead to delayed peduncle and flag leaf senescence

S. A. Harrington, L. E. Overend, N. Cobo, P. Borrill, C. Uauy

This study identifies four conserved residues in the wheat NAM-A1 NAC domain critical for protein function and interaction, with mutations causing delayed senescence in peduncle and flag leaf.
