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; hence the motivation...

Journal Article
Ferrari-John, R., Katrib, J., Zerva, E., Davies, N., Cook, D. J., Dodds, C., & Kingman, S. (in press). Electromagnetic heating for industrial kilning of malt: a feasibility study. Food and Bioprocess Technology, https://doi.org/10.1007/s11947-016-1849-0

Industrial malting operations use ~800kWh/t of energy to produce the heat required to kiln malt. Electromagnetic heating technologies are suggested as a way to potentially improve the energy efficiency of the kilning processing. In this work, the pot...

In order to cope with pathogens, plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to sense pathogenic attacks and to induce defence responses. The N-acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL)-mediated quorum sensing in bacteria regulates diverse physiological process...
