Agriculture is extremely vulnerable to climate change and crop production is severely hampered by climate extremes. Not only does it cost growers over US$170Bln in lost production, but it also has major implications for global food security. In this study, we argue that, under current climate scenarios, agriculture in the 21 century will become saline, severely limiting (or even making impossible) the use of traditional cereal crops for human caloric intake.

Drought has a major impact on crop yields. Silicon (Si) application has been proposed to improve drought resilience via several mechanisms including modifying the level of stomatal gas exchange. However, the impact of Si on transpiration and stomatal conductance varies between studies.

Fine tuning wheat development for the winter to spring transition.

The coordination of floral developmental stages with the environment is important for reproductive success and the optimization of crop yields. The timing of different developmental stages contributes to final yield potential with optimal adaptation enabling development to proceed without being impacted by seasonal weather events, including frosts or end of season drought. Here we characterise the role of FLOWERING LOCUS T 3 (FT3) in hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) during the early stages of floral development.

Weeds are one of the major constraints for wheat productivity, causing significant yield losses worldwide. While chemical control is the most used practice to overcome weed damage, its efficacy is challenged by increasing weed resistance to most used herbicides, which is an expanding phenomenon caused by herbicide overuse/misuse. Modern wheat varieties are less able to perceive the presence of weeds than old varieties and are therefore less competitive against them and require chemical control to ensure adequate yields.

Synergistic impact of starch-tannic acid complex in regulating gut microbiota to produce propionate.

Food & Nutritional Sciences Programme, School of Life Sciences, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin 999077, Hong Kong, China. Electronic address:

Starch-tannic acid complex is a type of resistant starch, while the influence of these complexes with different starch chain-length distributions (CLDs) on gut microbiota is unclear. Therefore, starch-tannic acid complexes were prepared from five commercial starches with diverse CLDs, and their influence on the gut microbiota was explored using in vitro fermentation with human fecal microbiota. For the first time, results showed that wheat and corn starch-tannic acid complexes significantly promoted propionate production (p < 0.
