Prostate cancer (PCa) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths and is driven by aberrant androgen receptor (AR) signalling. For this reason, androgen deprivation therapies (ADTs) that suppress androgen-induced PCa progression either by preventing...

Waste from dairy production is one of the largest sources of contamination from antimicrobial resistant bacteria (ARB) and genes (ARGs) in many parts of the world. However, studies to date do not provide necessary evidence to inform antimicrobial res...

Transcriptional networks underpinning ploidy related increased leaf potassium in neo-tetraploids (2022)
Journal Article
Fischer, S., Flis, P., Zhao, F., & Salt, D. E. (in press). Transcriptional networks underpinning ploidy related increased leaf potassium in neo-tetraploids. Plant Physiology, 190(3), 1715-1730. https://doi.org/10.1093/plphys/kiac360

Whole-genome duplication generates a tetraploid from a diploid. Newly created tetraploids (neo-tetraploids) of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) have elevated leaf potassium (K), compared to their diploid progenitor. Micro-grafting has previously es...

Root angle is controlled by EGT1in cereal crops employing anantigravitropic mechanism (2022)
Journal Article
Fusi, R., Rosignoli, S., Lou, H., Sangiorgi, G., Bovina, R., Pattem, J. K., …Salvi, S. (2022). Root angle is controlled by EGT1in cereal crops employing anantigravitropic mechanism. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,

Root angle in crops represents a key trait for efficient capture of soil resources. Root angle is determined by competing gravitropic versus anti-gravitropic offset (AGO) mechanisms. Here we report a new root angle regulatory gene termed ENHANCED GRA... Read More about Root angle is controlled by EGT1in cereal crops employing anantigravitropic mechanism.

Ethylene inhibits rice root elongation in compacted soil via ABA- and auxin-mediated mechanisms (2022)
Journal Article
Huang, G., Kilic, A., Karady, M., Zhang, J., Mehra, P., Song, X., …Pandey, B. K. (2022). Ethylene inhibits rice root elongation in compacted soil via ABA- and auxin-mediated mechanisms. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 119(30), Article e2201072119. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2201072119

Soil compaction represents a major agronomic challenge, inhibiting root elongation and impacting crop yields. Roots use ethylene to sense soil compaction as the restricted air space causes this gaseous signal to accumulate around root tips. Ethylene...

An oxygen-sensing mechanism for angiosperm adaptation to altitude (2022)
Journal Article

Flowering plants (angiosperms) can grow at extreme altitudes, and have been observed growing as high as 6,400 metres above sea level1,2; however, the molecular mechanisms that enable plant adaptation specifically to altitude are unknown. One distingu... Read More about An oxygen-sensing mechanism for angiosperm adaptation to altitude.

A two-step adaptive walk rewires nutrient transport in a challenging edaphic environment (2022)
Journal Article
Tergemina, E., Elfarargi, A. F., Flis, P., Fulgione, A., Göktay, M., Neto, C., …Hancock, A. M. (2022). A two-step adaptive walk rewires nutrient transport in a challenging edaphic environment. Science Advances, 8(20), Article eabm9385. https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.abm9385

Most well-characterized cases of adaptation involve single genetic loci. Theory suggests that multilocus adaptive walks should be common, but these are challenging to identify in natural populations. Here, we combine trait mapping with population gen... Read More about A two-step adaptive walk rewires nutrient transport in a challenging edaphic environment.
