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...

Variation in key leaf photosynthetic traits across wheat wild relatives is accession dependent not species dependent (2020)
Journal Article
McAusland, L., Vialet‐Chabrand, S., Jauregui, I., Burridge, A., Hubbart-Edwards, S., Fryer, M. J., …Murchie, E. H. (2020). Variation in key leaf photosynthetic traits across wheat wild relatives is accession dependent not species dependent. New Phytologist, 228(6), 1767-1780. https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.16832

©2020 The Authors. New Phytologist ©2020 New Phytologist Trust The wild relatives of modern wheat represent an underutilized source of genetic and phenotypic diversity and are of interest in breeding owing to their wide adaptation to diverse environm...

High throughput procedure utilising chlorophyll fluorescence imaging to phenotype dynamic photosynthesis and photoprotection in leaves under controlled gaseous conditions (2019)
Journal Article
McAusland, L., Murchie, E., & Atkinson, J. (2019). High throughput procedure utilising chlorophyll fluorescence imaging to phenotype dynamic photosynthesis and photoprotection in leaves under controlled gaseous conditions. Plant Methods, 15, https://doi.org/10.1186/s13007-019-0485-x

© 2019 The Author(s). Background: As yields of major crops such as wheat (T. aestivum) have begun to plateau in recent years, there is growing pressure to efficiently phenotype large populations for traits associated with genetic advancement in yield...

Developing a high-throughput SNP-based marker system to facilitate the introgression of traits from Aegilops species into bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) (2019)
Journal Article
Przewieslik-Allen, A. M., Burridge, A. J., Wilkinson, P. A., Winfield, M. O., Shaw, D. S., McAusland, L., …Barker, G. L. (2019). Developing a high-throughput SNP-based marker system to facilitate the introgression of traits from Aegilops species into bread wheat (Triticum aestivum). Frontiers in Plant Science, 9, Article 1993. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2018.01993

The genus Aegilops contains a diverse collection of wild species exhibiting variation in geographical distribution, ecological adaptation, ploidy and genome organization. Aegilops is the most closely related genus to Triticum which includes cultivate...

Overexpression of the RieskeFeS protein increasese electron transport rates and biomass yield (2017)
Journal Article
Simkin, A. J., McAusland, L., Lawson, T., & Raines, C. A. (in press). Overexpression of the RieskeFeS protein increasese electron transport rates and biomass yield. Plant Physiology, 175, https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.17.00622

In this study, we generated transgenic Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) plants overexpressing the Rieske FeS protein (PetC), a component of the cytochrome b6f (cyt b6f) complex. Increasing the levels of this protein resulted in concomitant increase... Read More about Overexpression of the RieskeFeS protein increasese electron transport rates and biomass yield.

Temporal dynamics of stomatal behavior: modeling and implications for photosynthesis and water use (2017)
Journal Article
Vialet-Chabrand, S. R., Matthews, J. S., McAusland, L., Blatt, M. R., Griffiths, H., & Lawson, T. (2017). Temporal dynamics of stomatal behavior: modeling and implications for photosynthesis and water use. Plant Physiology, 174(2), https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.17.00125

Stomata control gaseous exchange between the leaf and bulk atmosphere limiting CO2 uptake for photosynthesis and water loss by transpiration, and therefore determine plant productivity and water use efficiency. In order to function efficiently, stoma... Read More about Temporal dynamics of stomatal behavior: modeling and implications for photosynthesis and water use.
