The effects of soil compaction on wheat seedling root growth are specific to soil texture and soil moisture status (2023)
Journal Article
Yu, C., Mawodza, T., Atkinson, B. S., Atkinson, J. A., Sturrock, C. J., Whalley, R., …Mooney, S. J. (2024). The effects of soil compaction on wheat seedling root growth are specific to soil texture and soil moisture status. Rhizosphere, 29, Article 100838. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rhisph.2023.100838

Soil structure is a crucial soil physical property that determines a soil's ability to support the growth and development of plants. Soil compaction modifies soil structure by reducing pore space between soil particles thereby leading to a denser soi...

The effect of organic matter amendments on soil surface stability in conventionally cultivated arable fields (2023)
Journal Article
Stroud, J. L., Kemp, S. J., & Sturrock, C. J. (2024). The effect of organic matter amendments on soil surface stability in conventionally cultivated arable fields. Soil Use and Management, 40(1), Article e12985. https://doi.org/10.1111/sum.12985

In this study, new and traditional organic wastes (green waste compost, farmyard manure (FYM), anaerobic digestate or straw) were ploughed into an arable field experiment at a range of rates (1–3 t C ha−1) and under spring and winter cropping rotatio...

Soil structure has a greater effect on the rooting of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) than nitrogen fertilisation rate or genotype (2023)
Journal Article
Mawodza, T., Zhou, H., Atkinson, B. S., Atkinson, J. A., Sturrock, C. J., Riche, A. B., …Mooney, S. J. (2023). Soil structure has a greater effect on the rooting of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) than nitrogen fertilisation rate or genotype. Rhizosphere, 27, Article 100770. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rhisph.2023.100770

Despite extensive research over the last century concerning the application of nitrogen fertilizer to support the production of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), our understanding on how this impacts on root growth in subsoils is limited. In this study,... Read More about Soil structure has a greater effect on the rooting of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) than nitrogen fertilisation rate or genotype.

ERFVII action and modulation through oxygen-sensing in Arabidopsis thaliana (2023)
Journal Article
Zubrycka, A., Dambire, C., Dalle Carbonare, L., Sharma, G., Boeckx, T., Swarup, K., …Holdsworth, M. J. (2023). ERFVII action and modulation through oxygen-sensing in Arabidopsis thaliana. Nature Communications, 14, Article 4665. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-40366-y

Oxygen is a key signalling component of plant biology, and whilst an oxygen-sensing mechanism was previously described in Arabidopsis thaliana, key features of the associated PLANT CYSTEINE OXIDASE (PCO) N-degron pathway and Group VII ETHYLENE RESPON...
