A more complete and accurate wheat genome assembly is now available to researchers

Scientists investigating how to control take-all, a fungus that lives in soil and infects wheat roots to cause disease, have discovered that different varieties of wheat have distinct and lasting impacts on the health of the soil in which they are grown

A team of scientists have successfully transferred a receptor that recognises bacteria from the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana - a dicot, to wheat – a monocot

Plant scientists have made a breakthrough that could lead to new, high-yielding, disease-resistant crop varieties

PhD student Philippa Borrill has won the 2014 early career excellence award from MonoGram

Scientists have discovered that changing temperatures can have a big effect on resistance to yellow rust, one of the most serious diseases of wheat

Four PhD students appointed in India, Kenya and Ethiopia, will contribute to £1.4 million research to combat wheat stripe rust

New research could help explain the dramatic effect on soil health and yield of crop rotation

Crop geneticist Dr Cristobal Uauy has been awarded tenure at the John Innes Centre in Norwich after successfully completing a five-year tenure track
