Modelling reveals post-transcriptional regulation of GA metabolism enzymes in response to drought and cold (2022)
Journal Article
Band, L. R., Nelissen, H., Preston, S. P., Rymen, B., Prinsen, E., Abd Elgawad, H., & Beemster, G. T. S. (2022). Modelling reveals post-transcriptional regulation of GA metabolism enzymes in response to drought and cold. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 119(31), Article e2121288119. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2121288119

The hormone gibberellin (GA) controls plant growth and regulates growth responses to environmental stress. In monocotyledonous leaves, GA controls growth by regulating division-zone size. We used a systems approach to investigate the establishment of... Read More about Modelling reveals post-transcriptional regulation of GA metabolism enzymes in response to drought and cold.

Positioning the Root Elongation Zone Is Saltatory and Receives Input from the Shoot (2020)
Journal Article
Baskin, T. I., Preston, S., Zelinsky, E., Yang, X., Elmali, M., Bellos, D., …Bennett, M. J. (2020). Positioning the Root Elongation Zone Is Saltatory and Receives Input from the Shoot. iScience, 23(7), Article 101309. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.isci.2020.101309

In the root, meristem and elongation zone lengths remain stable, despite growth and division of cells. To gain insight into zone stability, we imaged individual Arabidopsis thaliana roots through a horizontal microscope, and used image analysis to ob...

Three-dimensional plant architecture and sunlit-shaded patterns: a stochastic model of light dynamics in canopies (2018)
Journal Article
Retkute, R., Townsend, A. J., Murchie, E. H., Jensen, O. E., & Preston, S. P. (2018). Three-dimensional plant architecture and sunlit-shaded patterns: a stochastic model of light dynamics in canopies. Annals of Botany, 122(2), 291–302. https://doi.org/10.1093/aob/mcy067

Background and Aims Diurnal changes in solar position and intensity combined with the structural complexity of plant architecture result in highly variable and dynamic light patterns within the plant canopy. This affects productivity through the comp... Read More about Three-dimensional plant architecture and sunlit-shaded patterns: a stochastic model of light dynamics in canopies.

High-Resolution Three-Dimensional Structural Data Quantify the Impact of Photoinhibition on Long-Term Carbon Gain in Wheat Canopies in the Field (2015)
Journal Article
Burgess, A. J., Retkute, R., Pound, M. P., Foulkes, J., Preston, S. P., Jensen, O. E., …Murchie, E. H. (2015). High-Resolution Three-Dimensional Structural Data Quantify the Impact of Photoinhibition on Long-Term Carbon Gain in Wheat Canopies in the Field. Plant Physiology, 169(2), 1192-1204. https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.15.00722

Photoinhibition reduces photosynthetic productivity; however, it is difficult to quantify accurately in complex canopies partly because of a lack of high-resolution structural data on plant canopy architecture, which determines complex fluctuations o...
