Harnessing exotic germplasm for red clover improvement: Tracking genomic introgression and deploying genomic selection

Angus D. Heslop, Sai Krishna Arojju, Rainer W. Hofmann, John L. Ford et autres

Abstract Red clover ( Trifolium pratense L.) is a globally important temperate forage legume. Its symbiosis with soil‐borne rhizobia enables nitrogen fixation, and its ability to produce quality forage under diverse soil conditions enhances pasture productivity, particularly during water deficits. With increasing …

Cuticular wax profiling of Populus trichocarpa and P. balsamifera reveals surface similarities with underlying differences

Mahbobeh Zamani-Babgohari, Huiru Peng, Armando Geraldes, Charles A. Hefer et autres

Cuticular waxes are a mixture of hydrophobic components protecting plant tissues from the environment. Populus trichocarpa and P. balsamifera are closely-related tree species with broad North American distribution; however, variation in their cuticular wax composition across their range remained poorly understood. To …

Tailoring dry-ageing and cooking to enhance technological quality and volatile fingerprints in beef striploin

Renyu Zhang, Santanu Deb‐Choudhury, Noby Jacob, Arvind Subbaraj et autres

This study aimed to improve the efficiency and reduce the cost of dry-aged beef production by tailoring the combined effects of ageing and cooking treatments. Beef striploins from heifers and steers (n = 4 per sex) were subjected to either in-bag dry-ageing …

Geographic and Climatic Origins Shape the Leaf Metabolome of Populus trichocarpa

Moritz Popp, Sol Yepes-Vivas, Ina Zimmer, Athena McKown et autres

Background and Aims: Chemodiversity is a fitness-relevant trait shaped by genetics, environment, and their interaction. Populus trichocarpa naturally inhabits broad climatic gradients and shows extensive variation in specialised metabolism. We investigated whether provenance and climate of origin imprint leaf chemodiversity and class-level …

TPS5 and TOR signaling components are determinants of Populus balsamifera leaf morphology

Marc J. Champigny, Shankar Pahari, Charles A. Hefer, Salim N. Silim et autres

Variation in leaf morphology in plant species predicts long-term growth and yield. Consequently, we aim to understand the genetic basis of natural variation in poplar leaf morphology as an avenue to maximize biomass accrual. Multilocus GWAS and deep learning genomic prediction were …

Ca2+ and ROS signalling exhibit divergent root-specific dynamics in Arabidopsis responses to abiotic stress and PAMPs

Claudia Allan, Evelyne Maes, Ancy Thomas, Charles A. Hefer et autres

Plant resilience relies on detecting and responding to osmotic stress and pathogens. Calcium (Ca 2+ ) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) are key signalling molecules in plant stress, yet their interplay with protein modifications remains unclear. This study utilises …

Looking at the past to prepare ahead: adapting Red Clover for future New Zealand climates

Angus D. Heslop, Andrew G. Griffiths, Rainer W. Hofmann, Zulfi Jahufer et autres

Developing adaptive, resilient pastural cultivars is crucial for maintaining New Zealand’s (NZ) highly productive farming sector. With growing challenges from climate change, including heat and extreme rainfall, identifying genetic material that provides resilience is vital. Wild populations, shaped by their local environmental …

Local adaptation, genetic diversity and key environmental interactions in a collection of novel red clover germplasm

Angus D. Heslop, Sai Krishna Arojju, Rainer W. Hofmann, John L. Ford et autres

Red clover ( Trifolium pratense L.) is known for its large taproot, nitrogen fixation capabilities and production of forage high in protein and digestibility. It has the potential to strengthen temperate pastural systems against future adverse climatic events by providing higher biomass …

Peptide profiling to predict bitterness in fermented milk from different bacterial cultures and relationship with human bitter taste receptor activation

Evelyne Maes, Raise Ahmad, Charles A. Hefer, Stephen R. Haines et autres

Microbial fermentation is frequently used in the food industry to enhance organoleptic experience. In fermented milk and yogurt, peptides released from milk protein upon fermentation can contribute to a bitter taste in the final dairy product, depending on the lactic acid bacterial …
