Schengen-pathway controls spatially separated and chemically distinct lignin deposition in the endodermis (2021)
Working Paper
Reyt, G., Ramakrishna, P., Salas-Gonzalez, I., Fujita, S., Love, A., Tiemessen, D., …Salt, D. E. Schengen-pathway controls spatially separated and chemically distinct lignin deposition in the endodermis

Lignin is a complex polymer precisely deposited in the cell wall of specialised plant cells, where it provides essential cellular functions. Plants coordinate timing, location, abundance and composition of lignin deposition in response to endogenous...

Hippocampal disinhibition reduces contextual and elemental fear conditioning while sparing the acquisition of latent inhibition (2021)
Working Paper
Williams, S. A., Gwilt, M., Hock, R., Taylor, C., Loayza, J., Stevenson, C. W., …Bast, T. Hippocampal disinhibition reduces contextual and elemental fear conditioning while sparing the acquisition of latent inhibition

Hippocampal neural disinhibition, i.e. reduced GABAergic inhibition, is a key feature of schizophrenia pathophysiology. The hippocampus is an important part of the neural circuitry that controls fear conditioning and can also modulate prefrontal and...

Full species-wide leaf and seed ionomic diversity of Arabidopsis thaliana (2020)
Working Paper
Campos, A. C. A. L., van Dijk, W. F., Ramakrishna, P., Giles, T., Korte, P., Douglas, A., …Salt, D. E. Full species-wide leaf and seed ionomic diversity of Arabidopsis thaliana

• Soil is a heterogenous reservoir of essential elements needed for plant growth and development. Plants have evolved mechanisms to balance their nutritional needs based on availability of nutrients. This has led to genetically-based variation in the... Read More about Full species-wide leaf and seed ionomic diversity of Arabidopsis thaliana.

Arabidopsis thaliana zinc accumulation in leaf trichomes is correlated with zinc concentration in leaves (2020)
Working Paper
Ricachenevsky, F. K., Punshon, T., Salt, D. E., Fett, J. P., & Guerinot, M. L. Arabidopsis thaliana zinc accumulation in leaf trichomes is correlated with zinc concentration in leaves

Zinc (Zn) is a key micronutrient. In humans, Zn deficiency is a common nutritional disorder, and most people acquire dietary Zn from eating plants. In plants, Zn deficiency can decrease plant growth and yield. Understanding Zn homeostasis in plants c...

Deep Machine Learning provides state-of-the-art performance in image-based plant phenotyping (2016)
Working Paper
Pound, M. P., Burgess, A. J., Wilson, M. H., Atkinson, J. A., Griffiths, M., Jackson, A. S., …French, A. P. Deep Machine Learning provides state-of-the-art performance in image-based plant phenotyping

Deep learning is an emerging field that promises unparalleled results on many data analysis problems. We show the success offered by such techniques when applied to the challenging problem of image-based plant phenotyping, and demonstrate state-of-th...
