Hunting for answers: Linking lectures with the real world using a mobile treasure hunt app (2019)
Journal Article
Hartman, T., Lydon, S. J., & Rasmussen, A. (2019). Hunting for answers: Linking lectures with the real world using a mobile treasure hunt app. Plants, People, Planet, 1(3), 233-247. https://doi.org/10.1002/ppp3.33

Plants underpin our society providing food, fuel, medicines, clean air and water, positive mental health, and are central to biodiversity conservation. Despite this importance and an increasing need for people with plant-identification skills, many s...

Ethylene controls adventitious root initiation sites in Arabidopsis hypocotyls independently of strigolactones (2017)
Journal Article
Rasmussen, A., Hu, Y., Depaepe, T., Vandenbussche, F., Boyer, F.-D., VanDer Straeten, D., & Geelen, D. (2017). Ethylene controls adventitious root initiation sites in Arabidopsis hypocotyls independently of strigolactones. Journal of Plant Growth Regulation, 36(4), https://doi.org/10.1007/s00344-017-9692-8

Adventitious root formation is essential for cutting propagation of diverse species; however, until recently little was known about its regulation. Strigolactones and ethylene have both been shown to inhibit adventitious roots and it has been suggest...

The physiology of adventitious roots (2015)
Journal Article
Steffens, B., & Rasmussen, A. (2016). The physiology of adventitious roots. Plant Physiology, 170(2), https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.15.01360

Adventitious roots are plant roots that form from any nonroot tissue and are produced both during normal development (crown roots on cereals and nodal roots on strawberry [Fragaria spp.]) and in response to stress conditions, such as flooding, nutrie...

Adventitious rooting declines with the vegetative to reproductive switch and involves a changed auxin homeostasis (2014)
Journal Article
Rasmussen, A., Hosseini, S. A., Hajirezaei, M.-R., Druege, U., & Geelen, D. (2015). Adventitious rooting declines with the vegetative to reproductive switch and involves a changed auxin homeostasis. Journal of Experimental Botany, 65(4), https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/eru499

Adventitious rooting, whereby roots form from non-root tissues, is critical to the forestry and horticultural industries that depend on propagating plants from cuttings. A major problem is that age of the tissue affects the ability of the cutting to...

New Strigolactone Analogs as Plant Hormones with Low Activities in the Rhizosphere (2014)
Journal Article
Boyer, F. D., de Saint Germain, A., Pouvreau, J.-B., Clavé, G., Pillot, J.-P., Roux, A., …Rameau, C. (2014). New Strigolactone Analogs as Plant Hormones with Low Activities in the Rhizosphere. Molecular Plant, 7(4), 675-690. https://doi.org/10.1093/mp/sst163

Strigolactones (SLs) are known not only as plant hormones, but also as rhizosphere signals for establishing symbiotic and parasitic interactions. The design of new specific SL analogs is a challenging goal in understanding the basic plant biology and...
