Integrating molecular and physiological approaches to quantify genetic controls for wheat development and improve phenotyping

Hamish Brown, John A. McCallum, Paul A. Johnston, Meeghan D. Pither-Joyce, Richard C. Macknight, Neil Ian Huth, Derrick Jan Moot, Bangyou Zheng, Zhigan Zhao, James Hunt, Enli Wang

The paper updates and validates a model for predicting wheat development by integrating molecular and physiological data, showing it can predict phenological responses to environment and guide genetic studies.

FLOWERING LOCUS T genes MtFTb1 and MtFTb2 act redundantly to promote flowering under long days in Medicago truncatula

Soledad Perez-Santángelo, Richard C. Macknight

The paper shows MtFTb1 and MtFTb2 genes are required for flowering under long days in Medicago truncatula, acting redundantly and up-regulating MtFTa1.
