Stem-borne roots as a framework to study trans-organogenesis and uncover fundamental insights in developmental biology (2024)
Journal Article
Rasmussen, A., Vidoz, M. L., & Sparks, E. E. (2024). Stem-borne roots as a framework to study trans-organogenesis and uncover fundamental insights in developmental biology. Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 81, Article 102604. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pbi.2024.102604

Plants have a remarkable ability to generate organs with a different identity to the parent organ, called “trans-organogenesis”. An example of trans-organogenesis is the formation of roots from stems (a type of adventitious root), which is the first...

Quantifying Nitrogen Uptake Rates of Maize Roots Using Stable Isotopes (2024)
Journal Article
Ishaya, F. D., & Rasmussen, A. (2024). Quantifying Nitrogen Uptake Rates of Maize Roots Using Stable Isotopes. Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, https://doi.org/10.1101/pdb.top108436

Nitrogen is an essential element for plant growth and development; however, application of nitrogen (N)-based fertilizers comes with a high environmental cost. This includes the energy required for production, volatilization from fields, and runoff o... Read More about Quantifying Nitrogen Uptake Rates of Maize Roots Using Stable Isotopes.

Methods for Measuring Nutrient Uptake in Maize Using Nitrogen Stable Isotopes (2024)
Journal Article
Ishaya, F. D., & Rasmussen, A. (2024). Methods for Measuring Nutrient Uptake in Maize Using Nitrogen Stable Isotopes. Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, https://doi.org/10.1101/pdb.prot108562

Nitrogen is a key nutrient for plant growth and development, and understanding nutrient uptake is central to improving nitrogen use efficiency in crops, including maize. Reducing the need for fertilizer without reducing yield is extremely important,... Read More about Methods for Measuring Nutrient Uptake in Maize Using Nitrogen Stable Isotopes.

Mangrove species found in contrasting environments show differing phytohormonal responses to variation in soil bulk density (2024)
Journal Article
Ola, A., Dodd, I. C., Albacete, A., Xiong, Y., Rasmussen, A., De Diego, N., & Lovelock, C. E. (2024). Mangrove species found in contrasting environments show differing phytohormonal responses to variation in soil bulk density. Plant and Soil, 500(1-2), 417-430. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11104-024-06490-4

Background and aims Mangrove species respond to variation in soil bulk density (BD). However, very little is known about the regulatory mechanisms that trigger these responses. Methods Endogenous concentrations of different phytohormones were me...
