Inter-varietal variation in caesium and strontium uptake by plants: a meta-analysis (2014)
Journal Article

Radiocaesium and radiostrontium enter the foodchain primarily via plant root uptake. Selecting varieties of crop that display low accumulation of these radionuclides has been suggested as an economically and socially acceptable remediation strategy f...

Soil type influences crop mineral composition in Malawi (2014)
Journal Article
Joy, E. J., Broadley, M. R., Young, S. D., Black, C. R., Chilimba, A. D., Ander, E. L., …Watts, M. J. (2015). Soil type influences crop mineral composition in Malawi. Science of the Total Environment, 505, 587-595. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2014.10.038

© 2014. Food supply and composition data can be combined to estimate micronutrient intakes and deficiency risks among populations. These estimates can be improved by using local crop composition data that can capture environmental influences includin... Read More about Soil type influences crop mineral composition in Malawi.

A scanner system for high-resolution quantification of variation in root growth dynamics of Brassica rapa genotypes (2014)
Journal Article
variation in root growth dynamics of Brassica rapa genotypes. Journal of Experimental Botany, 65(8), 2039-2048. https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/eru048

The potential exists to breed for root system architectures that optimize resource acquisition. However, this requires the ability to screen root system development quantitatively, with high resolution, in as natural an environment as possible, with...
