Phenotyping pipeline reveals major seedling root growth QTL in hexaploid wheat (2015)
Journal Article
Atkinson, J. A., Wingen, L. U., Griffiths, M., Pound, M. P., Gaju, O., Foulkes, M. J., Le Gouis, J., Griffiths, S., Bennett, M. J., King, J., & Wells, D. M. (2015). Phenotyping pipeline reveals major seedling root growth QTL in hexaploid wheat. Journal of Experimental Botany, 66(8), 2283-2292. https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/erv006

Seedling root traits of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) have been shown to be important for efficient establishment and linked to mature plant traits such as height and yield. A root phenotyping pipeline, consisting of a germination paper-based screen c... Read More about Phenotyping pipeline reveals major seedling root growth QTL in hexaploid wheat.

On the evaluation of methods for the recovery of plant root systems from X-ray computed tomography images (2014)
Journal Article
Mairhofer, S., Sturrock, C., Wells, D. M., Bennett, M. J., Mooney, S. J., & Pridmore, T. P. (2014). On the evaluation of methods for the recovery of plant root systems from X-ray computed tomography images. Functional Plant Biology, 42(5), 460-470. https://doi.org/10.1071/FP14071

© CSIRO 2015. X-ray microcomputed tomography (μCT) allows nondestructive visualisation of plant root systems within their soil environment and thus offers an alternative to the commonly used destructive methodologies for the examination of plant root...

Mechanical modelling quantifies the functional importance of outer tissue layers during root elongation and bending (2014)
Journal Article
Dyson, R. J., Vizcay-Barrena, G., Band, L. R., Fernandes, A. N., French, A. P., Fozard, J. A., Hodgman, T. C., Kenobi, K., Pridmore, T. P., Stout, M., Wells, D. M., Wilson, M. H., Bennett, M. J., & Jensen, O. E. (2014). Mechanical modelling quantifies the functional importance of outer tissue layers during root elongation and bending. New Phytologist, 202(4), 1212-1222. https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.12764

Root elongation and bending require the coordinated expansion of multiple cells of different types. These processes are regulated by the action of hormones that can target distinct cell layers. We use a mathematical model to characterise the influenc... Read More about Mechanical modelling quantifies the functional importance of outer tissue layers during root elongation and bending.

Recovering complete plant root system architectures from soil via X-ray μ-computed tomography (2013)
Journal Article
Mairhofer, S., Zappala, S., Tracy, S., Sturrock, C., Bennett, M. J., Mooney, S. J., & Pridmore, T. (2013). Recovering complete plant root system architectures from soil via X-ray μ-computed tomography. Plant Methods, 9, Article 8. https://doi.org/10.1186/1746-4811-9-8

Background: X-ray micro-Computed Tomography (μCT) offers the ability to visualise the three-dimensional
structure of plant roots growing in their natural environment – soil. Recovery of root architecture descriptions from X-ray CT data is, however,... Read More about Recovering complete plant root system architectures from soil via X-ray μ-computed tomography.

Stochastic and deterministic multiscale models for systems biology: An auxin-transport case study (2010)
Journal Article
Twycross, J., Band, L. R., Bennett, M. J., King, J. R., & Krasnogor, N. (2010). Stochastic and deterministic multiscale models for systems biology: An auxin-transport case study. BMC Systems Biology, 4, https://doi.org/10.1186/1752-0509-4-34

Background: Stochastic and asymptotic methods are powerful tools in developing multiscale systems biology models; however, little has been done in this context to compare the efficacy of these methods. The majority of current systems biology modellin... Read More about Stochastic and deterministic multiscale models for systems biology: An auxin-transport case study.

Modular assembly of cell systems biology models using P systems (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Romero-Campero, F. J., Twycross, J., Camara, M., Bennett, M., Gheorghe, M., & Krasnogor, N. (2008, June). Modular assembly of cell systems biology models using P systems. Presented at Prague International Workshop on Membrane Computing, Prague, Czech Republic

In this paper we propose an extension of a systems/synthetic biology modelling framework based on P systems that explicitly includes modularity. Modularisation in cellular systems can be produced by chemical specificity, spatial localisation and/or t... Read More about Modular assembly of cell systems biology models using P systems.
