Journal Article
Terés, J., Busoms, S., Perez Martín, L., Luís‐Villarroya, A., Flis, P., Álvarez‐Fernández, A., Tolrà, R., Salt, D. E., & Poschenrieder, C. (2019). Soil carbonate drives local adaptation in Arabidopsis thaliana. Plant, Cell and Environment, 42(8), 2384-2398. https://doi.org/10.1111/pce.13567

High soil carbonate limits crop performance especially in semiarid or arid climates. To understand how plants adapt to such soils, we explored natural variation in tolerance to soil carbonate in small local populations (demes) of Arabidopsis thaliana...

Clostridium autoethanogenum is an industrial microbe used for the commercial-scale production of ethanol from carbon monoxide. While significant progress has been made in the attempted diversification of this bioprocess, further improvements are desi...

Multiple abiotic stress, nitrate availability and the growth of wheat (2019)
Journal Article
Ge, Y., Hawkesford, M., Rosolem, C., Mooney, S., Ashton, R., Evans, J., & Whalley, W. (2019). Multiple abiotic stress, nitrate availability and the growth of wheat. Soil and Tillage Research, 191, 171-184. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.still.2019.04.005

In the field, wheat experiences a combination of physical and nutrient stresses. There has been a tendency to study root impedance and water stress in separation and less is known about how they might interact. In this study, we investigated the effe...

Process simulation and life cycle assessment of converting autoclaved municipal solid waste into butanol and ethanol as transport fuels (2019)
Journal Article
Meng, F., Ibbett, R., de Vrije, T., Metcalf, P., Tucker, G., & McKechnie, J. (2019). Process simulation and life cycle assessment of converting autoclaved municipal solid waste into butanol and ethanol as transport fuels. Waste Management, 89, 177-189. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wasman.2019.04.003

In 2015/2016, the total municipal solid waste (MSW) collected by local authority in the U.K. was 26 million tonnes and over 57% is still put into landfill or incinerated. MSW is a promising feedstock for bio-butanol production as it has a high lignoc...

Penetration and uptake of Nanoparticles in 3D tumour spheroids (2019)
Journal Article
Tchoryk, A., Taresco, V., Argent, R., Ashford, M. B., Gellert, P., Stolnik, S., Grabowska, A. M., & Garnett, M. C. (2019). Penetration and uptake of Nanoparticles in 3D tumour spheroids. Bioconjugate Chemistry, 30(5), 1371-1384. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.bioconjchem.9b00136

Animal models are effective for assessing tumour localisation of nanosystems, but difficult to use for studying penetration beyond the vasculature. Here, we have used well-characterised HCT116 colorectal cancer spheroids to study the effect of nanopa... Read More about Penetration and uptake of Nanoparticles in 3D tumour spheroids.

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...

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....
