Magnesium and calcium overaccumulate in the leaves of a schengen3 mutant of Brassica rapa (2021)
Journal Article
Alcock, T. D., Thomas, C. L., Ó Lochlainn, S., Pongrac, P., Wilson, M., Moore, C., …Broadley, M. R. (2021). Magnesium and calcium overaccumulate in the leaves of a schengen3 mutant of Brassica rapa. Plant Physiology, 186(3), 1616-1631. https://doi.org/10.1093/PLPHYS/KIAB150

Magnesium (Mg) and calcium (Ca) are essential mineral nutrients poorly supplied in many human food systems. In grazing livestock, Mg and Ca deficiencies are costly welfare issues. Here, we report a Brassica rapa loss-of-function schengen3 (sgn3) muta... Read More about Magnesium and calcium overaccumulate in the leaves of a schengen3 mutant of Brassica rapa.

Infestation by Myzus persicae increases susceptibility of Brassica napus cv. “Canard” to Rhizoctonia solani AG 2-1 (2018)
Journal Article
Drizou, F., Bruce, T. J. A., Ray, R. V., & Graham, N. S. (2018). Infestation by Myzus persicae increases susceptibility of Brassica napus cv. “Canard” to Rhizoctonia solani AG 2-1. Frontiers in Plant Science, 9, 1-14. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2018.01903

Activation of plant defense pathways can be influenced by the presence of different species of attacking organisms. Understanding the complicated interactions triggering plant defense mechanisms is of great interest as it may allow the development of...

Accelerating root system phenotyping of seedlings through a computer?assisted processing pipeline (2017)
Journal Article
Dupuy, L. X., Wright, G., Thompson, J. A., Taylor, A., Dekeyser, S., White, C. P., …White, P. J. (2017). Accelerating root system phenotyping of seedlings through a computer‑assisted processing pipeline. Plant Methods, 13(1), Article 57. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13007-017-0207-1

Background: There are numerous systems and techniques to measure the growth of plant roots. However, phenotyping large numbers of plant roots for breeding and genetic analyses remains challenging. One major difficulty is to achieve high throughput an... Read More about Accelerating root system phenotyping of seedlings through a computer?assisted processing pipeline.

A cross-species gene expression marker-based genetic map and QTL analysis in bambara groundnut (2017)
Journal Article
Chai, H., Ho, W., Graham, N., May, S., Massawe, F., & Mayes, S. (2017). A cross-species gene expression marker-based genetic map and QTL analysis in bambara groundnut. Genes, 8(3), https://doi.org/10.3390/genes8020084

Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.) is an underutilised legume crop, which has long been recognised as a protein-rich and drought-tolerant crop, used extensively in Sub-Saharan Africa. The aim of the study was to identify quantitative t... Read More about A cross-species gene expression marker-based genetic map and QTL analysis in bambara groundnut.

Cold-induced changes in gene expression in brown adipose tissue, white adipose tissue and liver (2013)
Journal Article
Shore, A. M., Karamitri, A., Kemp, P., Speakman, J. R., Graham, N. S., & Lomax, M. A. (2013). Cold-induced changes in gene expression in brown adipose tissue, white adipose tissue and liver. PLoS ONE, 8(7), Article e68933. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0068933

Cold exposure imposes a metabolic challenge to mammals that is met by a coordinated response in different tissues to prevent hypothermia. This study reports a transcriptomic analysis in brown adipose tissue (BAT), white adipose (WAT) and liver of mic...

Analysis of ripening-related gene expression in papaya using an Arabidopsis-based microarray (2012)
Journal Article
Fabi, J. P., Seymour, G. B., Graham, N. S., Broadley, M. R., May, S., Lajolo, F. M., …Oliveira do Nascimento, J. R. (in press). Analysis of ripening-related gene expression in papaya using an Arabidopsis-based microarray. BMC Plant Biology, 12, Article 242. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2229-12-242

Background Papaya (Carica papaya L.) is a commercially important crop that produces climacteric fruits with a soft and sweet pulp that contain a wide range of health promoting phytochemicals. Despite its importance, little is known about transcrip... Read More about Analysis of ripening-related gene expression in papaya using an Arabidopsis-based microarray.

Adenosine methylation in Arabidopsis mRNA is associated with the 3? end and reduced levels cause developmental defects (2012)
Journal Article
Bodi, Z., Zhong, S., Mehra, S., Song, J., Graham, N., Li, H., …Fray, R. G. (2012). Adenosine methylation in Arabidopsis mRNA is associated with the 3′ end and reduced levels cause developmental defects. Frontiers in Plant Science, 3(48), Article 48. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2012.00048

We previously showed that the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) mRNA methylase is essential during Arabidopsis thaliana embryonic development. We also demonstrated that this modification is present at varying levels in all mature tissues. However, the require...
