New tools are required to address the challenge of relating plant hormone levels, hormone responses, wall biochemistry and wall mechanical properties to organ-scale growth. Current vertex-based models (applied in other contexts) can be unsuitable for... Read More about Vertex-element models for anisotropic growth of elongated plant organs.

The putative influence of the agr operon upon survival mechanisms used by Clostridium acetobutylicum (2013)
Journal Article

The bacterium Clostridium acetobutylicum produces acids as an energy-yielding process during exponential growth. An acidic environment, however, is toxic to the cells and two survival mechanisms are in place to prevent them from dying. Firstly, durin...
