Cyclic programmed cell death stimulates hormone signaling and root development in Arabidopsis (2016)
Journal Article
Xuan, W., Band, L. R., Kumpf, R. P., Van Damme, D., Parizot, B., De Rop, G., Opdenacker, D., Moller, B. K., Skorzinski, N., Njo, M., De Rybel, B., Audenaert, D., Nowack, M. K., Vanneste, S., & Beeckman, T. (2016). Cyclic programmed cell death stimulates hormone signaling and root development in Arabidopsis. Science, 351(6271), 384-387. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.aad2776

The plant root cap, surrounding the very tip of the growing root, perceives and transmits environmental signals to the inner root tissues. In Arabidopsis thaliana, auxin released by the root cap contributes to the regular spacing of lateral organs al...

Effects of rapeseed variety and oil extraction method on the content and ileal digestibility of crude protein and amino acids in rapeseed cake and softly processed rapeseed meal fed to broiler chickens (2016)
Journal Article
Kasprzak, M., Houdijk, J., Kightley, S., Olukosi, O., White, G., Carre, P., & Wiseman, J. (2016). Effects of rapeseed variety and oil extraction method on the content and ileal digestibility of crude protein and amino acids in rapeseed cake and softly processed rapeseed meal fed to broiler chickens. Animal Feed Science and Technology, 213, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anifeedsci.2016.01.002

We examined the effects of rapeseed variety and oil extraction method on crude protein (CP) and amino acid (AA) content in rapeseed co-products, and determined their coefficient of apparent (AID) and standardised ileal digestibility (SID) in broiler...
