LARGE ROOT ANGLE1, encoding OsPIN2, is involved in root system architecture in rice (2017)
Journal Article

Root system architecture is very important for plant growth and crop yield. It is essential for nutrient and water uptake, anchoring, and mechanical support. Root growth angle (RGA) is a vital constituent of root system architecture and is used as a... Read More about LARGE ROOT ANGLE1, encoding OsPIN2, is involved in root system architecture in rice.

3D reactive inkjet printing of polydimethylsiloxane (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 The Royal Society of Chemistry. Material jetting is a process whereby liquid material can be deposited onto a substrate to solidify. Through a process of progressive additional layers, this deposition can then be used to produce 3D structures.... Read More about 3D reactive inkjet printing of polydimethylsiloxane.

Quantification of differences in germination behaviour of pelleted and coated sugar beet seeds using X-ray Computed Tomography (X-ray CT) (2017)
Journal Article

Seed enhancement technologies i.e. priming, pelleting and coating have been extensively9 used throughout the last century to improve crop yield and to reduce losses associated with pest infestation. However, until recently, it has not been possible t...

Root morphology and biomechanical characteristics of high altitude alpine plant species and their potential application in soil stabilization (2017)
Journal Article

Glacial forefields host young, poorly developed soils with highly unstable environmental conditions. Root system contribution to soil stabilization is a well-known phenomenon. Identifying the functional traits and root morphology of pioneer vegetatio...

A herbivore tag-and-trace system reveals contact- and density-dependent repellence of a root toxin (2017)
Journal Article

Foraging behavior of root feeding organisms strongly affects plant-environment-interactions and ecosystem processes. However, the impact of plant chemistry on root herbivore movement in the soil is poorly understood. Here, we apply a simple technique...

Linking bone development on the caudal aspect of the distal phalanx with lameness during life (2016)
Journal Article

Claw horn disruption lesions (CHDL; sole hemorrhage, sole ulcer, and white line disease) cause a large proportion of lameness in dairy cattle, yet their etiopathogenesis remains poorly understood. Untreated CHDL may be associated with damage to the i... Read More about Linking bone development on the caudal aspect of the distal phalanx with lameness during life.

Quantifying the impact of microbes on soil structural development and behaviour in wet soils (2014)
Journal Article

There is evidence that microbial populations play an important role in altering soil pore geometry, but a full understanding of how this affects subsequent soil behaviour and function is still unclear. In particular the role of microorganisms in soil... Read More about Quantifying the impact of microbes on soil structural development and behaviour in wet soils.

Computed tomography analysis of guinea pig bone: architecture, bone thickness and dimensions throughout development. (2014)
Journal Article

The domestic guinea pig, Cavia aperea f. porcellus, belongs to the Caviidae family of rodents. It is an important species as a pet, a source of food and in medical research. Adult weight is achieved at 8-12 months and life expectancy is ?5-6 years. O...

Impact of flavour solvent on biscuit micro-structure as measured by X-ray micro-computed tomography and the distribution of vanillin and HMF (HPLC) (2012)
Journal Article

The influence of flavour solvent, propylene glycol (PG) and triacetin (TA), was investigated on the micro-structure (as measured by X-ray micro-Computed Tomography, X-ray ?CT) and aroma compound distribution (as measured by HPLC) within shortcake bis...
