Increasing leaf vein density via mutagenesis in rice results in an enhanced rate of photosynthesis, smaller cell sizes and can reduce interveinal mesophyll cell number. Frontiers in Plant Science, 8, Article 1883. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2017.01883

Improvements to leaf photosynthetic rates of crops can be achieved by targeted manipulation of individual component processes, such as the activity and properties of RuBisCO or photoprotection. This study shows that simple forward genetic screens of...

Pound, M. P., Atkinson, J. A., Townsend, A. J., Wilson, M. H., Griffiths, M., Jackson, A. S., Bulat, A., Tzimiropoulos, G., Wells, D. M., Murchie, E. H., Pridmore, T. P., & French, A. P. (2017). Deep machine learning provides state-of-the-art performance in image-based plant phenotyping. GigaScience, 6(10), Article gix083. https://doi.org/10.1093/gigascience/gix083

© The Author 2017. In plant phenotyping, it has become important to be able to measure many features on large image sets in order to aid genetic discovery. The size of the datasets, now often captured robotically, often precludes manual inspection, h...

Safety conscious or living dangerously: what is the ‘right’ level of plant photoprotection for fitness and productivity? (2017)
Journal Article
Murchie, E. H. (2017). Safety conscious or living dangerously: what is the ‘right’ level of plant photoprotection for fitness and productivity?. Plant, Cell and Environment, 40(8), https://doi.org/10.1111/pce.12965

Due to their sessile nature, plants could be perceived to be relatively slow and rather un-reactive. However, a plant scientist will tell you that the inability to run away (tropism notwithstanding) actually demands a highly sophisticated physiologic...

Exploring Relationships between Canopy Architecture, Light Distribution, and Photosynthesis in Contrasting Rice Genotypes Using 3D Canopy Reconstruction (2017)
Journal Article
Burgess, A. J., Retkute, R., Herman, T., & Murchie, E. H. (2017). Exploring Relationships between Canopy Architecture, Light Distribution, and Photosynthesis in Contrasting Rice Genotypes Using 3D Canopy Reconstruction. Frontiers in Plant Science, 8, Article 734. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2017.00734

The arrangement of leaf material is critical in determining the light environment, and subsequently the photosynthetic productivity of complex crop canopies. However, links between specific canopy architectural traits and photosynthetic productivity...

Image-based 3D canopy reconstruction to determine potential productivity in complex multi-species crop systems (2017)
Journal Article
Burgess, A. J., Retkute, R., Pound, M. P., Mayes, S., & Murchie, E. H. (2017). Image-based 3D canopy reconstruction to determine potential productivity in complex multi-species crop systems. Annals of Botany, 119(4), 517-532. https://doi.org/10.1093/aob/mcw242

Background and Aims: Intercropping systems contain two or more species simultaneously in close proximity. Due to contrasting features of the component crops, quantification of the light environment and photosynthetic productivity is extremely difficu...
