In silico evidence for the utility of parsimonious root phenotypes for improved vegetative growth and carbon sequestration under drought (2022)
Journal Article
Schäfer, E. D., Ajmera, I., Farcot, E., Owen, M. R., Band, L. R., & Lynch, J. P. (2022). In silico evidence for the utility of parsimonious root phenotypes for improved vegetative growth and carbon sequestration under drought. Frontiers in Plant Science, 13, Article 1010165. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2022.1010165

Drought is a primary constraint to crop yields and climate change is expected to increase the frequency and severity of drought stress in the future. It has been hypothesized that crops can be made more resistant to drought and better able to sequest...

Modeling root loss reveals impacts on nutrient uptake and crop development (2022)
Journal Article
Schäfer, E. D., Owen, M. R., Band, L. R., Farcot, E., Bennett, M. J., & Lynch, J. P. (2022). Modeling root loss reveals impacts on nutrient uptake and crop development. Plant Physiology, 190(4), 2260-2278. https://doi.org/10.1093/plphys/kiac405

Abstract Despite the widespread prevalence of root loss in plants, its effects on crop productivity are not fully understood. While root loss reduces the capacity of plants to take up water and nutrients from the soil, it may provide benefits by decr...

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.

Systems approaches reveal that ABCB and PIN proteins mediate co-dependent auxin efflux (2022)
Journal Article
Mellor, N. L., Voß, U., Ware, A., Janes, G., Barrack, D., Bishopp, A., …Band, L. R. (2022). Systems approaches reveal that ABCB and PIN proteins mediate co-dependent auxin efflux. Plant Cell, 34(6), 2309–2327. https://doi.org/10.1093/plcell/koac086

Members of the B family of membrane-bound ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters represent key components of the auxin-efflux machinery in plants. Over the last two decades experimental studies have shown that modifying ABCB expression affects auxin...

Integrated root phenotypes for improved rice performance under low nitrogen availability (2022)
Journal Article
Ajmera, I., Henry, A., Radanielson, A. M., Klein, S. P., Ianevski, A., Bennett, M. J., …Lynch, J. P. (2022). Integrated root phenotypes for improved rice performance under low nitrogen availability. Plant, Cell and Environment, 45(3), 805-822. https://doi.org/10.1111/pce.14284

Greater nitrogen efficiency would substantially reduce the economic, energy and environmental costs of rice production. We hypothesized that synergistic balancing of the costs and benefits for soil exploration among root architectural phenes is benef...
