The paper identifies multiple additive loci controlling soluble arabinoxylan content in elite wheat germplasm, enabling marker-assisted breeding for increased dietary fibre in white flour.

The paper characterizes genome composition and evolution in Urochloa species, identifying repetitive DNA and developing a genome model for polyploid and apomictic grasses.

The paper develops a flow cytometry method to determine ploidy in dried leaf specimens of Urochloa grasses, identifying ploidy levels in 353 accessions with CV <5%.

The paper identifies a major QTL and marker for high arabinoxylan fibre in white wheat flour using crosses with high and average AX cultivars.
