Journal Article
Ahmed, M., Jinks, N., Babaei-Jadidi, R., Kashfi, H., Castellanos-Uribe, M., May, S. T., Mukherjee, A., & Nateri, A. S. (2019). Repurposing Antibacterial AM404 as a Potential Anticancer Drug for Targeting Colorectal Cancer Stem-Like Cells. Cancers, 12(1), Article 106. https://doi.org/10.3390/cancers12010106

Tumour-promoting inflammation is involved in colorectal cancer (CRC) development and therapeutic resistance. However, the antibiotics and antibacterial drugs and signalling that regulate the potency of anticancer treatment upon forced differentiation...

Mutation in OsCADT1 enhances cadmium tolerance and enriches selenium in rice grain (2019)
Journal Article
Chen, J., Huang, X., Salt, D. E., & Zhao, F. (2020). Mutation in OsCADT1 enhances cadmium tolerance and enriches selenium in rice grain. New Phytologist, 226(3), 838-850. https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.16404

•How cadmium (Cd) tolerance in rice is regulated remains poorly understood. We used a forward genetic approach to investigate Cd tolerance in rice. •Using root elongation assay, we isolated a rice mutant with enhanced Cd tolerance, cadt1, from an EMS...

Transcriptional plasticity buffers genetic variation in zinc homeostasis (2019)
Journal Article
Pita-Barbosa, A., Ricachenevsky, F. K., Wilson, M., Dottorini, T., & Salt, D. E. (2019). Transcriptional plasticity buffers genetic variation in zinc homeostasis. Scientific Reports, 9, Article 19482. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-55736-0

In roots of Arabidopsis thaliana, Zn can be either loaded into the xylem for translocation to the shoot or stored in vacuoles. Vacuolar storage is achieved through the action of the Zn/Cd transporter HMA3 (Heavy Metal Atpase 3). The Col-0 accession h...

Towards infield, live plant phenotyping using a reduced-parameter CNN (2019)
Journal Article
Atanbori, J., French, A. P., & Pridmore, T. P. (2020). Towards infield, live plant phenotyping using a reduced-parameter CNN. Machine Vision and Applications, 31, Article 2. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00138-019-01051-7

There is an increase in consumption of agricultural produce as a result of the rapidly growing human population, particularly in developing nations. This has triggered high-quality plant phenotyping re- search to help with the breeding of high yieldi... Read More about Towards infield, live plant phenotyping using a reduced-parameter CNN.

Neglected intermediaries in bioenergy straw supply chains: Understanding the roles of merchants, contractors and agronomists in England (2019)
Journal Article
Helliwell, R., Seymour, S., & Wilson, P. (2020). Neglected intermediaries in bioenergy straw supply chains: Understanding the roles of merchants, contractors and agronomists in England. Energy Research and Social Science, 63, Article 101387. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.erss.2019.101387

Outside of Denmark, straw-based bioenergy has seen uneven success across Europe. In the UK, straw-based bioenergy has been positioned as making a potentially important contribution to the UK government's energy and environmental objectives. However,...
