High-throughput phenotyping (HTP) identifies seedling root traits linked to variation in seed yield and nutrient capture in field-grown oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) (2016)
Journal Article
Thomas, C. L., Graham, N. .., Hayden, R., Meacham, M. C., Neugebauer, K., Nightingale, M., …Broadley, M. R. (in press). High-throughput phenotyping (HTP) identifies seedling root traits linked to variation in seed yield and nutrient capture in field-grown oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.). Annals of Botany, 118(4), https://doi.org/10.1093/aob/mcw046

Background and Aims. Root traits can be selected for crop improvement. Techniques such as soil excavations can be used to screen root traits in the field, but are limited to genotypes that are well-adapted to field conditions. The aim of this study w...

Inter-cultivar variation in soil-to-plant transfer of radiocaesium and radiostrontium in Brassica oleracea (2016)
Journal Article
Penrose, B., Johnson née Payne, K., Arkhipov, A., Maksimenko, A., Gaschak, S., Meacham, M. C., …Broadley, M. R. (2016). Inter-cultivar variation in soil-to-plant transfer of radiocaesium and radiostrontium in Brassica oleracea. Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 155-156, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvrad.2016.02.020

Radiocaesium and radiostrontium enter the human food chain primarily via soil-plant transfer. However, uptake of these radionuclides can differ significantly within species (between cultivars). The aim of this study was to assess inter-cultivar varia... Read More about Inter-cultivar variation in soil-to-plant transfer of radiocaesium and radiostrontium in Brassica oleracea.
