Brearley-Sholto, M. C., Loczenski-Brown, D. M., Jones, S., Daniel, Z. C., Ebling, F. J., Parr, T., & Brameld, J. M. (2021). Effect of AAV-mediated overexpression of ATF5 and downstream targets of an integrated stress response in murine skeletal muscle. Scientific Reports, 11(1), 1-13. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-99432-4

We previously reported that growth promoter-induced skeletal muscle hypertrophy co-ordinately upregulated expression of genes associated with an integrated stress response (ISR), as well as potential ISR regulators. We therefore used Adeno-Associated... Read More about Effect of AAV-mediated overexpression of ATF5 and downstream targets of an integrated stress response in murine skeletal muscle.

Maternal one-carbon metabolism during the periconceptional period and human foetal brain growth: A systematic review (2021)
Journal Article
Rubini, E., Baijens, I. M., Horánszky, A., Schoenmakers, S., Sinclair, K. D., Zana, M., …Rousian, M. (2021). Maternal one-carbon metabolism during the periconceptional period and human foetal brain growth: A systematic review. Genes, 12(10), Article 1634. https://doi.org/10.3390/genes12101634

The maternal environment during the periconceptional period influences foetal growth and development, in part, via epigenetic mechanisms moderated by one-carbon metabolic pathways. During embryonic development, one-carbon metabolism is involved in br...

Shifts in Soil Structure, Biological, and Functional Diversity Under Long-Term Carbon Deprivation (2021)
Journal Article
George, P. B., Fidler, D. B., Van Nostrand, J. D., Atkinson, J. A., Mooney, S. J., Creer, S., …Jones, D. L. (2021). Shifts in Soil Structure, Biological, and Functional Diversity Under Long-Term Carbon Deprivation. Frontiers in Microbiology, 12, 1-16. https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2021.735022

Soil organic matter is composed of a variety of carbon (C) forms. However, not all forms are equally accessible to soil microorganisms. Deprivation of C inputs will cause changes in the physical and microbial community structures of soils; yet the tr...

Parallel adaptation in autopolyploid Arabidopsis arenosa is dominated by repeated recruitment of shared alleles (2021)
Journal Article
Konečná, V., Bray, S., Vlček, J., Bohutínská, M., Požárová, D., Choudhury, R. R., …Kolář, F. (2021). Parallel adaptation in autopolyploid Arabidopsis arenosa is dominated by repeated recruitment of shared alleles. Nature Communications, 12(1), Article 4979. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-25256-5

Relative contributions of pre-existing vs de novo genomic variation to adaptation are poorly understood, especially in polyploid organisms. We assess this in high resolution using autotetraploid Arabidopsis arenosa, which repeatedly adapted to toxic...

Microbial Metal Resistance within Structured Environments Is Inversely Related to Environmental Pore Size (2021)
Journal Article
Harvey, H. J., Mitzakoff, A. M., Wildman, R. D., Mooney, S. J., & Avery, S. V. (2021). Microbial Metal Resistance within Structured Environments Is Inversely Related to Environmental Pore Size. Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 87(20), Article e01005-21. https://doi.org/10.1128/AEM.01005-21

The physical environments in which microorganisms naturally reside rarely have homogeneous structure, and changes in their porous architecture may have effects on microbial activities that are not typically captured in conventional laboratory studies...

Non-invasive hydrodynamic imaging in plant roots at cellular resolution (2021)
Journal Article
Pascut, F. C., Couvreur, V., Dietrich, D., Leftley, N., Reyt, G., Boursiac, Y., …Webb, K. F. (2021). Non-invasive hydrodynamic imaging in plant roots at cellular resolution. Nature Communications, 12(1), 1-7. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-24913-z

A key impediment to studying water-related mechanisms in plants is the inability to non-invasively image water fluxes in cells at high temporal and spatial resolution. Here, we report that Raman microspectroscopy, complemented by hydrodynamic modelli... Read More about Non-invasive hydrodynamic imaging in plant roots at cellular resolution.

Impact of cold plasma on the biomolecules and organoleptic properties of foods: A review (2021)
Journal Article

Cold plasma is formed by the nonthermal ionisation of gas into free electrons, ions, reactive atomic and molecular species, and UV radiation. This cold plasma can be used to alter the surface of solid and liquid foods, and it offers multiple advantag...
