A secreted peptide acts on BIN2-mediated phosphorylation of ARFs to potentiate auxin response during lateral root development (2013)
Journal Article
Cho, H., Ryu, H., Rho, S., Hill, K., Smith, S., Audenaert, D., …Hwang, I. (2014). A secreted peptide acts on BIN2-mediated phosphorylation of ARFs to potentiate auxin response during lateral root development. Nature Cell Biology, 16(1), 66-76. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncb2893

The phytohormone auxin is a key developmental signal in plants. So far, only auxin perception has been described to trigger the release of transcription factors termed AUXIN RESPONSE FACTORs (ARFs) from their AUXIN/INDOLE-3-ACETIC ACID (AUX/IAA) repr...

Time-Profiling Fluorescent Reporters in the Arabidopsis Root (2013)
Book Chapter
Larrieu, A. P., French, A. P., Pridmore, T. P., Bennett, M. J., & Wells, D. M. (2014). Time-Profiling Fluorescent Reporters in the Arabidopsis Root. In Plant chemical genomics : methods and protocols (11-17). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-62703-592-7_2

Confocal laser scanning microscopy is a useful nondestructive approach for the visualization of fluorescent reporters in planta. Samples are usually placed between a slide and a cover slip which, although suited to single time-point imaging, does not...

Effects of X-ray dose on rhizosphere studies using X-ray computed tomography (2013)
Journal Article
Zappala, S., Helliwell, J. R., Tracy, S., Mairhofer, S., Sturrock, C., Pridmore, T., Bennett, M. J., & Mooney, S. J. (2013). Effects of X-ray dose on rhizosphere studies using X-ray computed tomography. PLoS ONE, 8(6), Article e67250. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0067250

X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) is a non-destructive imaging technique originally designed for diagnostic medicine, which was adopted for rhizosphere and soil science applications in the early 1980s. X-ray CT enables researchers to simultaneously visu... Read More about Effects of X-ray dose on rhizosphere studies using X-ray computed tomography.

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.

Recovering complete plant root system architectures from soil via X-ray μ-computed tomography (2013)
Journal Article
Mairhofer, S., Zappala, S., Tracy, S., Sturrock, C., Bennett, M. J., Mooney, S. J., & Pridmore, T. (2013). Recovering complete plant root system architectures from soil via X-ray μ-computed tomography. Plant Methods, 9, Article 8. https://doi.org/10.1186/1746-4811-9-8

Background: X-ray micro-Computed Tomography (μCT) offers the ability to visualise the three-dimensional
structure of plant roots growing in their natural environment – soil. Recovery of root architecture descriptions from X-ray CT data is, however,... Read More about Recovering complete plant root system architectures from soil via X-ray μ-computed tomography.

Lateral root morphogenesis is dependent on the mechanical properties of the overlaying tissues (2013)
Journal Article
Lucas, M., Kenobi, K., Von Wangenheim, D., Voß, U., Swarup, K., De Smet, I., …Bennett, M. J. (2013). Lateral root morphogenesis is dependent on the mechanical properties of the overlaying tissues. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 110(13), 5229-5234. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1210807110

In Arabidopsis, lateral root primordia (LRPs) originate from pericycle cells located deep within the parental root and have to emerge through endodermal, cortical, and epidermal tissues. These overlaying tissues place biomechanical constraints on the... Read More about Lateral root morphogenesis is dependent on the mechanical properties of the overlaying tissues.

Biosensors for phytohormone quantification: challenges, solutions, and opportunities (2013)
