Journal Article
Mendiondo, G., Moko, E. M., Sparkes, D. L., Rahardiyan, D., Welham, S. J. M., O'Reilly, P., …Sjögersten, S. (2023). Environmental and farming practice controls of productivity of Cyrtosperma merkusii (giant swamp taro), an underutilised wetland and potential paludiculture crop. Food and Energy Security, 13(1), Article e490. https://doi.org/10.1002/fes3.490

Growing recognition of the potential vulnerabilities of major crop systems has spurred a growing interest in the potential of alternative crops which may be resilient to climate change and also help mitigate its effects. In Indonesia, such issues are...

African Leafy Vegetables for Improved Human Nutrition and Food System Resilience in Southern Africa: A Scoping Review (2021)
Journal Article
Isaac, A., Shayanowako, T., Morrissey, O., Tanzi, A., Muchuweti, M., Mendiondo, G. M., …Durazzo, A. (2021). African Leafy Vegetables for Improved Human Nutrition and Food System Resilience in Southern Africa: A Scoping Review. Sustainability, 13(5), Article 2896. https://doi.org/10.3390/su13052896

The economic potential of African leafy vegetables (ALVs) remains obscured by a poorly developed value chain. This scoping review assembled and examined scattered knowledge generated on ALVs across southern Africa, focusing on production, processing,...

The Cys-Arg/N-end rule pathway is a general sensor of abiotic stress in flowering plants (2017)
Journal Article
Vicente, J., Mendiondo, G. M., Movahedi, M., Peirats-Llobet, M., Juan, Y., Shen, Y., …Holdsworth, M. J. (2017). The Cys-Arg/N-end rule pathway is a general sensor of abiotic stress in flowering plants. Current Biology, 27(20), Article 3183-3190.e4. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2017.09.006

Abiotic stresses impact negatively on plant growth, profoundly affecting yield and quality of crops. Although much is known about plant responses, very little is understood at the molecular level about the initial sensing of environmental stress. In...

Group VII ethylene response factors coordinate oxygen and nitric oxide signal transduction and stress responses in plants (2015)
Journal Article
Gibbs, D. J., Vincente Conde, J., Berckhan, S., Prasad, G., Mendiondo, G. M., & Holdsworth, M. J. (2015). Group VII ethylene response factors coordinate oxygen and nitric oxide signal transduction and stress responses in plants. Plant Physiology, 169(1), https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.15.00338

The group VII ethylene response factors (ERFVIIs) are plant-specific transcription factors that have emerged as important regulators of abiotic and biotic stress responses, in particular, low-oxygen stress. A defining feature of ERFVIIs is their cons... Read More about Group VII ethylene response factors coordinate oxygen and nitric oxide signal transduction and stress responses in plants.

Nitric oxide (NO) is an important signaling compound in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In plants, NO regulates critical developmental transitions and stress responses. Here, we identify a mechanism for NO sensing that coordinates responses throughout de...
