From jellyfish to biosensors: the use of fluorescent proteins in plants (2013)
Journal Article
Voss, U., Larrieu, A., & Wells, D. M. (2013). From jellyfish to biosensors: the use of fluorescent proteins in plants. International Journal of Developmental Biology, 57(6-7-8), 525-533. https://doi.org/10.1387/ijdb.130208dw

The milestone discovery of green fluorescent protein (GFP) from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria, its optimisation for efficient use in plantae, and subsequent improvements in techniques for fluorescent detection and quantification have changed plant...

RootNav: navigating images of complex root architectures (2013)
Journal Article
Pound, M. P., French, A. P., Atkinson, J. A., Wells, D. M., Bennett, M. J., & Pridmore, T. (2013). RootNav: navigating images of complex root architectures. Plant Physiology, 162(4), 1802-1814. https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.113.221531

We present a novel image analysis tool that allows the semiautomated quantification of complex root system architectures in a range of plant species grown and imaged in a variety of ways. The automatic component of RootNav takes a top-down approach,... Read More about RootNav: navigating images of complex root architectures.

Biosensors for phytohormone quantification: challenges, solutions, and opportunities (2013)
Journal Article
Wells, D. M., Laplaze, L., Bennett, M. J., & Vernoux, T. (2013). Biosensors for phytohormone quantification: challenges, solutions, and opportunities. Trends in Plant Science, 18(5), 244-249. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tplants.2012.12.005

Fluorescent reporters are valuable tools for plant science research, particularly as sensors to monitor biological signals and developmental processes. Such biosensors are particularly useful to monitor the spatial and temporal distribution of small...
