Journal Article
Pongrac, P., Castillo-Michel, H., Herrera, J., Hancock, R. D., Fischer, S., Kelemen, M., Thompson, J. A., Wright, G., Likar, M., Broadley, M. R., Vavpetič, P., Pelicon, P., & White, P. J. (2020). Effect of phosphorus supply on root traits of two Brassica oleracea L. genotypes. BMC Plant Biology, 20, Article 368. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12870-020-02558-2

BACKGROUND: Phosphorus (P) deficiency limits crop production worldwide. Crops differ in their ability to acquire and utilise the P available. The aim of this study was to determine root traits (root exudates, root system architecture (RSA), tissue-sp...

Convergence and novelty in adaptation to whole genome duplication in three independent polyploids (2020)
Preprint / Working Paper
Bray, S. M., Wolf, E. M., Zhou, M., Busoms, S., Bohutinska, M., Paajanen, P., Monnahan, P., Koch, J., Fischer, S., Koch, M. A., & Yant, L. (2020). Convergence and novelty in adaptation to whole genome duplication in three independent polyploids

Convergent evolution is observed broadly across the web of life, but the degree of evolutionary constraint during adaptation of core intracellular processes is not known. High constraint has been assumed for conserved processes, such as cell division... Read More about Convergence and novelty in adaptation to whole genome duplication in three independent polyploids.

Early Responses of Brassica oleracea Roots to Zinc Supply Under Sufficient and Sub-Optimal Phosphorus Supply (2020)
Journal Article
Pongrac, P., Fischer, S., Thompson, J. A., Wright, G., & White, P. J. (2020). Early Responses of Brassica oleracea Roots to Zinc Supply Under Sufficient and Sub-Optimal Phosphorus Supply. Frontiers in Plant Science, 10, Article 1645. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2019.01645

© Copyright © 2020 Pongrac, Fischer, Thompson, Wright and White. Shoot zinc (Zn) concentration in Brassica oleracea is affected by soil Zn and phosphorus (P) supply. Most problematic is the negative impact of P fertilizers on Zn concentrations in cro...
