The influence of style and origin on mineral composition of beers retailing in the UK (2016)
Journal Article
Rodrigo, S., Young, S. D., Talaverano, M., & Broadley, M. R. (in press). The influence of style and origin on mineral composition of beers retailing in the UK. European Food Research and Technology, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00217-016-2805-y

Beer has high nutritional values in terms of energy and is also a dietary source of antioxidants, carbohydrates and minerals among others. In Europe, 53 Mt of beer are produced annually, and with an average supply of 68.2 kg capita‾¹ year‾¹ among adu...

Valuing increased zinc (Zn) fertiliser-use in Pakistan (2016)
Journal Article
Joy, E. J., Ahmad, W., Zia, M. H., Kumssa, D. B., Young, S. D., Ander, E. L., Watts, M. J., Stein, A. J., & Broadley, M. R. (2017). Valuing increased zinc (Zn) fertiliser-use in Pakistan. Plant and Soil, 411(1-2), 139–150. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11104-016-2961-7

Background and Aims: Use of zinc (Zn) fertilisers may be cost-effective in increasing crop yields and in alleviating dietary Zn deficiency. However, Zn fertilisers are underutilised in many countries despite the widespread occurrence of Zn-deficient... Read More about Valuing increased zinc (Zn) fertiliser-use in Pakistan.

A novel Brassica–rhizotron system to unravel the dynamic changes in root system architecture of oilseed rape under phosphorus deficiency (2016)
Journal Article
Yuan, P., Ding, G., Cai, H., Jin, K.-M., Broadley, M. R., Xu, F., & Shi, L. (in press). A novel Brassica–rhizotron system to unravel the dynamic changes in root system architecture of oilseed rape under phosphorus deficiency. Annals of Botany, 118(2), https://doi.org/10.1093/aob/mcw083

Background and Aims: An important adaptation of plants to phosphorus (P) deficiency is to alter root system architecture (RSA) to increase P acquisition from the soil, but soil-based observations of RSA are technically challenging, especially in matu...

Inter-cultivar variation in soil-to-plant transfer of radiocaesium and radiostrontium in Brassica oleracea (2016)
Journal Article
Penrose, B., Johnson née Payne, K., Arkhipov, A., Maksimenko, A., Gaschak, S., Meacham, M. C., Crout, N. J., White, P. J., Beresford, N., & Broadley, M. R. (2016). Inter-cultivar variation in soil-to-plant transfer of radiocaesium and radiostrontium in Brassica oleracea. Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 155-156, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvrad.2016.02.020

Radiocaesium and radiostrontium enter the human food chain primarily via soil-plant transfer. However, uptake of these radionuclides can differ significantly within species (between cultivars). The aim of this study was to assess inter-cultivar varia... Read More about Inter-cultivar variation in soil-to-plant transfer of radiocaesium and radiostrontium in Brassica oleracea.

Analysis of root growth from a phenotyping data set using a density-based model (2016)
Journal Article
Kalogiros, D. I., Adu, M. O., Adu, M. O., White, P. J., Broadley, M. R., Draye, X., Ptashnyk, M., Bengough, A. G., & Dupuy, L. X. (2016). Analysis of root growth from a phenotyping data set using a density-based model. Journal of Experimental Botany, 67(4), 1045-1058. https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/erv573

Major research efforts are targeting the improved performance of root systems for more efficient use of water and nutrients by crops. However, characterizing root system architecture (RSA) is challenging, because roots are difficult objects to observ...
