Transcriptional networks underpinning ploidy related increased leaf potassium in neo-tetraploids (2021)
Preprint / Working Paper
Fischer, S., Flis, P., Zhao, F.-J., & Salt, D. E. (2021). Transcriptional networks underpinning ploidy related increased leaf potassium in neo-tetraploids

Neo-tetraploid Arabidopsis thaliana have elevated leaf potassium (K) driven by processes within the root. The root transcriptome of neo-tetraploids is distinct from diploids, with evidence of altered K homeostasis. Mutational analysis revealed that t...

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...

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
Warne, G. R., Williams, P. M., Quoc Pho, H., Nghiep Tran, N., Hessel, V., & Fisk, I. D. (2021). Impact of cold plasma on the biomolecules and organoleptic properties of foods: A review. Journal of Food Science, 86(9), 3762-3777. https://doi.org/10.1111/1750-3841.15856

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...
