Mutation in OsCADT1 enhances cadmium tolerance and enriches selenium in rice grain (2019)
Journal Article

•How cadmium (Cd) tolerance in rice is regulated remains poorly understood. We used a forward genetic approach to investigate Cd tolerance in rice. •Using root elongation assay, we isolated a rice mutant with enhanced Cd tolerance, cadt1, from an EMS...

Transcriptional plasticity buffers genetic variation in zinc homeostasis (2019)
Journal Article

In roots of Arabidopsis thaliana, Zn can be either loaded into the xylem for translocation to the shoot or stored in vacuoles. Vacuolar storage is achieved through the action of the Zn/Cd transporter HMA3 (Heavy Metal Atpase 3). The Col-0 accession h...

Towards infield, live plant phenotyping using a reduced-parameter CNN (2019)
Journal Article

There is an increase in consumption of agricultural produce as a result of the rapidly growing human population, particularly in developing nations. This has triggered high-quality plant phenotyping re- search to help with the breeding of high yieldi... Read More about Towards infield, live plant phenotyping using a reduced-parameter CNN.

Neglected intermediaries in bioenergy straw supply chains: Understanding the roles of merchants, contractors and agronomists in England (2019)
Journal Article

Outside of Denmark, straw-based bioenergy has seen uneven success across Europe. In the UK, straw-based bioenergy has been positioned as making a potentially important contribution to the UK government's energy and environmental objectives. However,...

Elemental signatures of an Amazonian Dark Earth as result of its formation process (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 Elsevier B.V. Amazonian Dark Earths (ADEs) are soils studied for archaeological purposes and as a potentially agricultural model for the humid tropic. We investigated the chemical composition of an ADE in comparison to an adjacent Ultisol with... Read More about Elemental signatures of an Amazonian Dark Earth as result of its formation process.

Prepubertal nutrition alters Leydig cell functional capacity and timing of puberty (2019)
Journal Article

Leydig cell functional capacity reflects the numbers and differentiation status of the steroidogenic Leydig cells in the testes and becomes more or less fixed in early adulthood with the final establishment of the hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal (HPG)... Read More about Prepubertal nutrition alters Leydig cell functional capacity and timing of puberty.

Urine selenium concentration is a useful biomarker for assessing population level selenium status (2019)
Journal Article

Plasma selenium (Se) concentration is an established population level biomarker of Se status, especially in Se-deficient populations. Previously observed correlations between dietary Se intake and urinary Se excretion suggest that urine Se concentrat...

RootNav 2.0: Deep learning for automatic navigation of complex plant root architectures (2019)
Journal Article

© The Author(s) 2019. Published by Oxford University Press. BACKGROUND: In recent years quantitative analysis of root growth has become increasingly important as a way to explore the influence of abiotic stress such as high temperature and drought on...

Exploring the effects of tomato extract supplementation on cognitive function during exercise and at rest (2019)
Journal Article

It has been reported that tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fruit extracts may have beneficial effects on cognition. To assess if those effects are reproducible, cognitive function was assessed using a double-blind, randomised control trial design; 17 he...

Developmental roles of AUX1/LAX auxin influx carriers in plants (2019)
Journal Article

Plant hormone auxin regulates several aspects of plant growth and development. Auxin is predominantly synthesized in the shoot apex and developing leaf primordia and from there it is transported to the target tissues e.g. roots. Auxin transport is po...

Antigen array for serological diagnosis and novel allergen identification in severe equine asthma (2019)
Journal Article

Severe equine asthma (sEA), which closely resembles human asthma, is a debilitating and performance-limiting allergic respiratory disorder which affects 14% of horses in the Northern Hemisphere and is associated with increased allergen-specific immun...

Changes in expression of serine biosynthesis and integrated stress response genes during myogenic differentiation of C2C12 cells (2019)
Journal Article

Skeletal muscle is a highly metabolic and dynamic tissue that is formed through the complex and well-organised process of myogenesis. Although there is a good understanding about the role of the Muscle Regulatory Factors during myogenesis, little is...

Soil strength influences wheat root interactions with soil macropores (2019)
Journal Article

Deep rooting is critical for access to water and nutrients found in subsoil. However, damage to soil structure and the natural increase in soil strength with depth, often impedes root penetration. Evidence suggests that roots use macropores (soil cav... Read More about Soil strength influences wheat root interactions with soil macropores.

The Relationship Between Wort Sugar Concentration and Yeast Carbon Partitioning during Brewing Fermentations (2019)
Journal Article

High gravity (HG) and very high gravity (VHG) fermentations are increasingly attractive within the brewing industry as a means of optimizing process efficiency and energy-saving. However, the use of highly concentrated worts is concomitant with a num...
