Journal Article
Gibbs, J., Pound, M., French, A. P., Wells, D. M., Murchie, E., & Pridmore, T. (2018). Plant phenotyping: an active vision cell for three-dimensional plant shoot reconstruction. Plant Physiology, 178(2), 524-534. https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.18.00664

© 2018 American Society of Plant Biologists. All rights reserved. Three-dimensional (3D) computer-generated models of plants are urgently needed to support both phenotyping and simulation-based studies such as photosynthesis modeling. However, the co...

Genetic variation in N-use efficiency and associated traits in Indian wheat cultivars (2018)
Journal Article
Nehe⁠, A., Misra, S., Murchie, E., Chinnathambi, K., & Foulkes⁠, J. (2018). Genetic variation in N-use efficiency and associated traits in Indian wheat cultivars. Field Crops Research, 225, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fcr.2018.06.002

Nitrogen (N) fertilizer represents a significant cost for the grower and may also have environmental impacts through nitrate leaching and N⁠2O (a greenhouse gas) emissions associated with denitrification. The objectives of this study were to quantify... Read More about Genetic variation in N-use efficiency and associated traits in Indian wheat cultivars.

Measuring the dynamic photosynthome (2018)
Journal Article
Murchie, E. H., Kefauver, S., Araus, J. L., Muller, O., Rascher, U., Flood, P. J., & Lawson, T. (in press). Measuring the dynamic photosynthome. Annals of Botany, https://doi.org/10.1093/aob/mcy087

Background: Photosynthesis underpins plant productivity and yet is notoriously sensitive to small changes inenvironmental conditions, meaning that quantitation in nature across different time scales is not straightforward. The ‘dynamic’ changes in ph... Read More about Measuring the dynamic photosynthome.

Three-dimensional plant architecture and sunlit-shaded patterns: a stochastic model of light dynamics in canopies (2018)
Journal Article
Retkute, R., Townsend, A. J., Murchie, E. H., Jensen, O. E., & Preston, S. P. (2018). Three-dimensional plant architecture and sunlit-shaded patterns: a stochastic model of light dynamics in canopies. Annals of Botany, 122(2), 291–302. https://doi.org/10.1093/aob/mcy067

Background and Aims Diurnal changes in solar position and intensity combined with the structural complexity of plant architecture result in highly variable and dynamic light patterns within the plant canopy. This affects productivity through the comp... Read More about Three-dimensional plant architecture and sunlit-shaded patterns: a stochastic model of light dynamics in canopies.

Enhanced thylakoid photoprotection can increase yield and canopy radiation use efficiency in rice (2018)
Journal Article
Hubbart, S., Smillie, I. R., Heatley, M., Swarup, R., Foo, C. C., Zhao, L., & Murchie, E. H. (2018). Enhanced thylakoid photoprotection can increase yield and canopy radiation use efficiency in rice. Communications Biology, 1, Article 22. https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-018-0026-6

High sunlight can raise plant growth rates but can potentially cause cellular damage. The likelihood of deleterious effects is lowered by a sophisticated set of photoprotective mechanisms, one of the most important being the controlled dissipation of...

Suboptimal acclimation of photosynthesis to light in wheat canopies (2018)
Journal Article
Townsend, A. J., Retkute, R., Chinnathambi, K., Randall, J. W., Foulkes, J. F., Carmo-Silva, E., & Murchie, E. H. (in press). Suboptimal acclimation of photosynthesis to light in wheat canopies. Plant Physiology, 176(2), https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.17.01213

Photosynthetic acclimation (photoacclimation) is the process whereby leaves alter their morphology and/or biochemistry to optimise photosynthetic efficiency and productivity according to long-term changes in the light environment. Three-dimensional (... Read More about Suboptimal acclimation of photosynthesis to light in wheat canopies.
