Book Chapter
Tsoutsoura, N., Chong, Y. T., Ho, W. K., Chai, H. H., Tanzi, A. S., Salazar-Licea, L., …Mayes, S. (2022). The Winged Bean Genome: Winged Bean—One Species Supermarket. In M. A. Chapman (Ed.), Underutilised Crop Genomes (315-336). Springer International Publishing. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-00848-1_17

Climate change, population growth and increasingly homogenised diets are a threat to food security and human nutritional status. There is an urgent need to incorporate highly nutritious crops into the human diet to provide new sources of nutrition, t...

Abiotic stress, acclimation, and adaptation in carbon fixation processes (2022)
Book Chapter
Murchie, E. H., McAusland, L., & Burgess, A. J. (2022). Abiotic stress, acclimation, and adaptation in carbon fixation processes. In A. Ruban, C. H. Foyer, & E. H. Murchie (Eds.), Photosynthesis in Action: Harvesting Light, Generating Electrons, Fixing Carbon (103-132). Academic Press. https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-12-823781-6.00011-3

Chloroplast CO2 assimilation rate is highly sensitive to environmental changes, and this has a great influence on productivity. Changes in temperature, light, humidity, nutrients, and salinity can all affect processes that limit photosynthesis. In th...

Deep Hourglass for Brain Tumor Segmentation (2019)
Book Chapter
Benson, E., Pound, M. P., French, A. P., Jackson, A. S., & Pridmore, T. P. (2019). Deep Hourglass for Brain Tumor Segmentation. In BrainLes 2018: Brainlesion: Glioma, Multiple Sclerosis, Stroke and Traumatic Brain Injuries (419-428). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-11726-9_37

The segmentation of a brain tumour in an MRI scan is a challenging task, in this paper we present our results for this problem via the BraTS 2018 challenge, consisting of 210 high grade glioma (HGG) and 75 low grade glioma (LGG) volumes for training....
