Journal Article
Sims, I., Jayaweera, D., Swarup, K., & Ray, R. V. (2023). Molecular characterisation of defence of Brassica napus (Oilseed rape) to Rhizoctonia solani AG2-1 confirmed by functional analysis in Arabidopsis thaliana. Phytopathology, 113(8), 1525-1536. https://doi.org/10.1094/PHYTO-08-22-0305-R

Rhizoctonia solani is a necrotrophic, soilborne fungal pathogen associated with significant establishment losses in Brassica napus (oilseed rape; OSR). The anastomosis group (AG) 2-1 of R. solani is the most virulent to OSR, causing damping-off, root...

In plants, postembryonic formation of new organs helps shape the adult organism. This requires the tight regulation of when and where a new organ is formed and a coordination of the underlying cell divisions. To build a root system, new lateral roots...

Phosphate (P) is an essential macronutrient for plant growth. Roots employ adaptive mechanisms to forage for P in soil. Root hair elongation is particularly important since P is immobile. Here we report that auxin plays a critical role promoting root... Read More about A mechanistic framework for auxin dependent Arabidopsis root hair elongation to low external phosphate.

Lateral root primordia (LRP) originate from pericycle stem cells located deep within parental root tissues. LRP emerge through overlying root tissues by inducing auxin-dependent cell separation and hydraulic changes in adjacent cells. The auxin-induc...
