Effects of soil type and composition of rhizodeposits on rhizosphere priming phenomena (2016)
Journal Article
Lloyd, D. A., Ritz, K., Paterson, E., & Kirk, G. J. (2016). Effects of soil type and composition of rhizodeposits on rhizosphere priming phenomena. Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 103, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.soilbio.2016.10.002

Inputs of fresh plant-derived C may stimulate microbially-mediated turnover of soil organic matter (SOM) in the rhizosphere. But studies of such ‘priming’ effects in artificial systems often produce conflicting results, depending on such variables as...

The effect of maternal undernutrition on the rat placental transcriptome: protein restriction up-regulates cholesterol transport (2016)
Journal Article
Daniel, Z., Swali, A., Emes, R. D., & Langley-Evans, S. C. (2016). The effect of maternal undernutrition on the rat placental transcriptome: protein restriction up-regulates cholesterol transport. Genes and Nutrition, 11(27), https://doi.org/10.1186/s12263-016-0541-3

Fetal exposure to a maternal low protein diet during rat pregnancy is associated with hypertension, renal dysfunction and metabolic disturbance in adult life. These effects are present when dietary manipulations target only the first half of pregnanc...

Mitochondrial proteomic profiling reveals increased carbonic anhydrase II in aging and neurodegeneration (2016)
Journal Article
Pollard, A., Shephard, F., Freed, J., Liddell, S., & Chakrabarti, L. (2016). Mitochondrial proteomic profiling reveals increased carbonic anhydrase II in aging and neurodegeneration. Aging, 8(10), 2425-2436. https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.101064

Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors are used to treat glaucoma and cancers. Carbonic anhydrases perform a crucial role in the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into bicarbonate and protons. However, there is little information about carbonic anhydrase... Read More about Mitochondrial proteomic profiling reveals increased carbonic anhydrase II in aging and neurodegeneration.

Chemotaxonomy as a tool for interpreting the cryptic diversity of Poaceae pollen (2016)
Journal Article
Julier, A. C., Jardine, P. E., Coe, A. L., Gosling, W. D., Lomax, B. H., & Fraser, W. T. (2016). Chemotaxonomy as a tool for interpreting the cryptic diversity of Poaceae pollen. Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology, 235, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.revpalbo.2016.08.004

The uniform morphology of different species of Poaceae (grass) pollen means that identification to below family level using light microscopy is extremely challenging. Poor taxonomic resolution reduces recoverable information from the grass pollen rec... Read More about Chemotaxonomy as a tool for interpreting the cryptic diversity of Poaceae pollen.

Metabolomics of aging assessed in individual parasitoid wasps (2016)
Journal Article
Kapranas, A., Snart, C. J., Williams, H. E. L., Hardy, I. C., & Barrett, D. A. (2016). Metabolomics of aging assessed in individual parasitoid wasps. Scientific Reports, 6(1), Article 34848. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep34848

Metabolomics studies of low-biomass organisms, such as small insects, have previously relied on the pooling of biological samples to overcome detection limits, particularly using NMR. We show that the differentiation of metabolite profiles of individ... Read More about Metabolomics of aging assessed in individual parasitoid wasps.

Hybrid vertex-midline modelling of elongated plant organs (2016)
Journal Article
Fozard, J. A., Bennett, M. J., King, J. R., & Jensen, O. E. (2016). Hybrid vertex-midline modelling of elongated plant organs. Interface Focus, 6(5), Article 20160043. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsfs.2016.0043

We describe a method for the simulation of the growth of elongated plant organs, such as seedling roots. By combining a midline representation of the organ on a tissue scale and a vertex-based representation on the cell scale, we obtain a multiscale...

Brassinosteroids participate in the control of basal and acquired freezing tolerance of plants (2016)
Journal Article
Eremina, M., Unterholzner, S. J., Rathnayake, A. I., Castellanos, M., Khan, M., Kugler, K. G., May, S., Mayer, K. F., Rozhon, W., & Poppenberger, B. (2016). Brassinosteroids participate in the control of basal and acquired freezing tolerance of plants. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 113(40), Article E5982-E5991. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1611477113

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are growth-promoting plant hormones that play a role in abiotic stress responses, but molecular modes that enable this activity remain largely unknown. Here we show that BRs participate in the regulation of freezing tolerance.... Read More about Brassinosteroids participate in the control of basal and acquired freezing tolerance of plants.

Reproductive efficiency of the bethylid wasp Cephalonomia tarsalis: the influences of spatial structure and host density (2016)
Journal Article

The parasitoid wasp Cephalonomia tarsalis (Ashmead) (Hymenoptera: Bethylidae) is commonly present in stored product facilities. While beneficial, it does not provide a high 24 degree of biological pest control against its host, the saw-toothed beetle...

Cytokinin acts through the auxin influx carrier AUX1 to regulate cell elongation in the root (2016)
Journal Article

Hormonal interactions are critical for plant development. In Arabidopsis, cytokinins inhibit root growth through effects on cell proliferation and cell elongation. Here we define key mechanistic elements in a regulatory network by which cytokinin inh...

The effect of adenosine monophosphate deaminase overexpression on the accumulation of umami-related metabolites in tomatoes. Plant Cell Reports, 36(1), https://doi.org/10.1007/s00299-016-2058-z

Taste is perceived as one of a combination of five sensations, sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami. The umami taste is best known as a savoury sensation and plays a central role in food flavour, palatability, and eating satisfaction. Umami flavour...
