Auxin-dependent control of a plasmodesmal regulator creates a negative feedback loop modulating lateral root emergence (2020)
Journal Article
Sager, R., Wang, X., Hill, K., Yoo, B. C., Caplan, J., Nedo, A., Tran, T., Bennett, M. J., & Lee, J. Y. (2020). Auxin-dependent control of a plasmodesmal regulator creates a negative feedback loop modulating lateral root emergence. Nature Communications, 11(1), Article 364. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-14226-7

© 2020, The Author(s). Lateral roots originate from initial cells deep within the main root and must emerge through several overlying layers. Lateral root emergence requires the outgrowth of the new primordium (LRP) to coincide with the timely separa...

DWT1/DWL2 act together with OsPIP5K1 to regulate plant uniform growth in rice (2019)
Journal Article
Fang, F., Ye, S., Tang, J., Bennett, M. J., & Liang, W. (2020). DWT1/DWL2 act together with OsPIP5K1 to regulate plant uniform growth in rice. New Phytologist, 225(3), 1234-1246. https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.16216

• Uniform growth of the main shoot and tillers significantly influences rice plant architecture and grain yield. The WUSCHEL‐related homeobox transcription factor DWT1 is a key regulator of this important agronomic trait, disruption of which causes e...

Emergent Protective Organogenesis in Date Palms: A Morpho-devo-dynamic Adaptive Strategy During Early Development (2019)
Journal Article
Xiao, T., Raygoza, A. A., Pérez, J. C., Kirschner, G., Deng, Y., Atkinson, B., Sturrock, C., Lube, V., Wang, J. Y., Lubineau, G., Al-Babili, S., Ramírez, L. A. C., Bennett, M. J., & Blilou, I. (2019). Emergent Protective Organogenesis in Date Palms: A Morpho-devo-dynamic Adaptive Strategy During Early Development. Plant Cell, 31(8), 1751-1766. https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.19.00008

Desert plants have developed mechanisms for adapting to hostile desert conditions, yet these mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we describe two unique modes used by desert date palms (Phoenix dactylifera L.) to protect their meristematic tiss...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 116(17), 8597-8602. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1820882116

In plants, postembryonic formation of new organs helps shape the adult organism. This requires the tight regulation of when and where a new organ is formed and a coordination of the underlying cell divisions. To build a root system, new lateral roots...

Identification of nitrogen-dependent QTL and underlying genes for root system architecture in hexaploid wheat (2019)
Other
Griffiths, M., Atkinson, J. A., Gardiner, L.-J., Swarup, R., Pound, M. P., Wilson, M. H., Bennett, M. J., & Wells, D. M. (2019). Identification of nitrogen-dependent QTL and underlying genes for root system architecture in hexaploid wheat

The root system architecture (RSA) of a crop has a profound effect on the uptake of nutrients and consequently the potential yield. However, little is known about the genetic basis of RSA and resource dependent response in wheat (Triticum aestivum L....

Anthropogenic environmental drivers of antimicrobial resistance in wildlife (2018)
Journal Article
Swift, B. M., Bennett, M., Waller, K., Dodd, C., Murray, A., Gomes, R. L., Humphreys, B., Hobman, J. L., Jones, M. A., Whitlock, S. E., Mitchell, L. J., Lennon, R. J., & Arnold, K. E. (2019). Anthropogenic environmental drivers of antimicrobial resistance in wildlife. Science of the Total Environment, 649, 12-20. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2018.08.180

The isolation of antimicrobial resistant bacteria (ARB) from wildlife living adjacent to humans has led to the suggestion that such antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is anthropogenically driven by exposure to antimicrobials and ARB. However, ARB have al... Read More about Anthropogenic environmental drivers of antimicrobial resistance in wildlife.

Uncovering the hidden half of plants using new advances in root phenotyping (2018)
