Infestation by Myzus persicae increases susceptibility of Brassica napus cv. “Canard” to Rhizoctonia solani AG 2-1 (2018)
Journal Article

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...

Productivity framework (2018)
Journal Article

Researchers look at skills shortages and careers pathways in the agrifood industry. Sustaining the agriculture, food and drink industries requires human capital. Current estimates calculate that the agrifood supply chain employs approaching 4m people... Read More about Productivity framework.

Spatial variability of organic matter properties determines methane fluxes in a tropical forested peatland (2018)
Journal Article

Tropical peatland ecosystems are a significant component of the global carbon cycle and feature a range of distinct vegetation types, but the extent of links between contrasting plant species, peat biogeochemistry and greenhouse gas fluxes remains un...

Putative regulatory candidate genes for QTL linked to fruit traits in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) (2018)
Journal Article

Palm oil is among the most important vegetable oils, contributing to a quarter of the world’s oils and fats market. The oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) fruitlets, which are the source of palm oil, vary from 8eight to 20 g in weight. Palm oil conte...

The beta-adrenergic agonist, Ractopamine increases skeletal muscle expression of Asparagine Synthetase as part of an integrated stress response gene program (2018)
Journal Article

Synthetic beta-adrenergic agonists (BA) have broad biomedical and agricultural application for increasing lean body mass, yet a poor understanding of the biology underpinning these agents is limiting further drug discovery potential. Growing female p... Read More about The beta-adrenergic agonist, Ractopamine increases skeletal muscle expression of Asparagine Synthetase as part of an integrated stress response gene program.

Evidence for carbon cycling in a large freshwater lake in the Balkans over the last 0.5 million years using the isotopic composition of bulk organic matter (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 Elsevier Ltd In the DEEP core from the Lake Ohrid ICDP drilling project, the carbon isotope composition of bulk organic matter (δ 13 C TOC ) over the last 516 ka shows a negative correlation with total organic carbon (TOC) and total inorganic...

Genetic interactions between ABA signalling and the Arg/N-end rule pathway during Arabidopsis seedling establishment (2018)
Journal Article

The Arg/N-end rule pathway of ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis has multiple functions throughout plant development, notably in the transition from dormant seed to photoautotrophic seedling. PROTEOLYSIS6 (PRT6), an N-recognin E3 ligase of the Arg/N-end... Read More about Genetic interactions between ABA signalling and the Arg/N-end rule pathway during Arabidopsis seedling establishment.

TAILS proteomics reveals dynamic changes in airway proteolysis controlling protease activity and innate immunity during COPD exacerbations (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 the American Physiological Society. Dys-regulated protease activity is thought to cause parenchymal and airway damage in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Multiple proteases have been implicated in COPD, and identifying their subst...

Composition and concentration of root exudate analogues regulate greenhouse gas fluxes from tropical peat (2018)
Journal Article

Tropical peatlands are a significant carbon store and source of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) to the atmosphere. Plants can contribute to these gas emissions through the release of root exudates, including sugars and organic acids amongst ot...

Environmental change during MIS4 and MIS 3 opened corridors in the Horn of Africa for Homo sapiens expansion (2018)
Journal Article

Archaeological findings, numerical human dispersal models and genome analyses suggest several time windows in the past 200 kyr (thousands of years ago) when anatomically modern humans (AMH) dispersed out of Africa into the Levant and/or Arabia. From... Read More about Environmental change during MIS4 and MIS 3 opened corridors in the Horn of Africa for Homo sapiens expansion.

Development of a southern hemisphere subtropical wetland (Welsby Lagoon, south-east Queensland, Australia) through the last glacial cycle (2018)
Journal Article

Continuous records of terrestrial environmental and climatic variability that extend beyond the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) in Australia are rare. Furthermore, where long records do exist, interpretations of climate and ecological change can be hamper...
