Journal Article
Collin, F., Bancal, P., Spink, J., Kock Appelgren, P., Smith, J., Paveley, N., Bancal, M., & Foulkes, M. (2018). Wheat lines exhibiting variation in tolerance of Septoria tritici blotch differentiated by grain source limitation. Field Crops Research, 217, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fcr.2017.11.022

Septoria tritici blotch (STB) is the most damaging disease of wheat crops in Europe. Because of the partial nature of genotypic resistance or the increasing resistance against fungicides, the tolerance, i.e. maintaining yield in the presence of expre...

Transcriptional and epigenetic control of cell fate decisions in early embryos (2017)
Journal Article
Alberio, R. (2017). Transcriptional and epigenetic control of cell fate decisions in early embryos. Reproduction, Fertility and Development, 30(1), https://doi.org/10.1071/RD17403

Mammalian embryo development is characterized by regulative mechanisms of lineage segregation and cell specification. A combination of carefully orchestrated gene expression networks, signalling pathways and epigenetic marks define specific developme...

High heterotrophic CO2 emissions from a Malaysian oil palm plantations during dry-season (2017)
Journal Article
Matysek, M., Evers, S., Samuel, M. K., & Sjogersten, S. (in press). High heterotrophic CO2 emissions from a Malaysian oil palm plantations during dry-season. Wetlands Ecology and Management, https://doi.org/10.1007/s11273-017-9583-6

Abstract

Tropical peatlands are currently being rapidly cleared and drained for the establishment of oil palm plantations, which threatens their globally significant carbon sequestration capacity. Large-scale land conversion of tropical peatlands... Read More about High heterotrophic CO2 emissions from a Malaysian oil palm plantations during dry-season.

Estimated differences in economic and environmental performance of dairy herds across the UK (2017)
Journal Article
Bell, M. J., & Wilson, P. (2017). Estimated differences in economic and environmental performance of dairy herds across the UK. Aspects of Applied Biology, 136,

Production data were obtained from about half a million milk recorded dairy cows and the Farm Business Surveys for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. This study modelled the average herd in each region between the years 2010 to 2015 and a...

A comparison of the molecular mechanisms underpinning high-intensity, pulsed polychromatic light and low-intensity UV-C hormesis in tomato fruit (2017)
Journal Article
Scott, G., Dickinson, M., Shama, G., & Rupar, M. (2018). A comparison of the molecular mechanisms underpinning high-intensity, pulsed polychromatic light and low-intensity UV-C hormesis in tomato fruit. Postharvest Biology and Technology, 137, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.postharvbio.2017.10.017

Postharvest treatment of tomato fruit with high-intensity, pulsed polychromatic light (HIPPL) has previously been shown to induce delayed ripening and disease resistance comparable to that of low-intensity UV-C (LIUV). Little, however, is known of th... Read More about A comparison of the molecular mechanisms underpinning high-intensity, pulsed polychromatic light and low-intensity UV-C hormesis in tomato fruit.

Root exudate analogues accelerate CO2 and CH4 production in tropical peat (2017)
Journal Article
Girkin, N., Turner, B., Ostle, N., Craigon, J., & Sjögersten, S. (2018). Root exudate analogues accelerate CO2 and CH4 production in tropical peat. Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 117, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.soilbio.2017.11.008

Root exudates represent a large and labile carbon input in tropical peatlands, but their contribution to carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) production remains poorly understood. Changes in species composition and productivity of peatland plant co... Read More about Root exudate analogues accelerate CO2 and CH4 production in tropical peat.

PLoS Genetics, 13(11), Article e1007060. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pgen.1007060

In storing and transmitting epigenetic information, organisms must balance the need to maintain information about past conditions with the capacity to respond to information in their current and future environments. Some of this information is encode... Read More about Epigenetic memory via concordant DNA methylation is inversely correlated to developmental potential of mammalian cells.
