Group work is a main-stay of workplace practice and is increasingly common in higher education assessment. This series of short activities supports students as they develop a professional and accountable approach to academic group work, while providi... Read More about How to Be a Functional Team Member.

Novel and holistic approaches are required to realize allelopathic potential for weed management (2023)
Journal Article
Hickman, D. T., Comont, D., Rasmussen, A., & Birkett, M. A. (2023). Novel and holistic approaches are required to realize allelopathic potential for weed management. Ecology and Evolution, 13(4), Article e10018. https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.10018

Allelopathy, that is, plant–plant inhibition via the release of secondary metabolites into the environment, has potential for the management of weeds by circumventing herbicide resistance. However, mechanisms underpinning allelopathy are notoriously... Read More about Novel and holistic approaches are required to realize allelopathic potential for weed management.

Aerial roots elevate indoor plant health: physiological and morphological responses of three high-humidity adapted Araceae species to indoor humidity levels (2023)
Journal Article
Sheeran, L., & Rasmussen, A. (2023). Aerial roots elevate indoor plant health: physiological and morphological responses of three high-humidity adapted Araceae species to indoor humidity levels. Plant, Cell and Environment, 46(6), 1873-1884. https://doi.org/10.1111/pce.14568

Heightened by the COVID-19 pandemic there has been a global increase in urban greenspace appreciation. Indoor plants are equally important for improving mental health and air quality but despite evolving in humid (sub)tropical environments with aeria...

Frequency Versus Quantity: Phenotypic Response of Two Wheat Varieties to Water and Nitrogen Variability (2021)
Journal Article
Cousins, O. H., Garnett, T. P., Rasmussen, A., Mooney, S. J., Smernik, R. J., Brien, C. J., & Cavagnaro, T. R. (2021). Frequency Versus Quantity: Phenotypic Response of Two Wheat Varieties to Water and Nitrogen Variability. Journal of Soil Science and Plant Nutrition, 21(2), 1631-1641. https://doi.org/10.1007/s42729-021-00467-3

Due to climate change, water availability will become increasingly variable, affecting nitrogen (N) availability. Therefore, we hypothesised watering frequency would have a greater impact on plant growth than quantity, affecting N availability, uptak...

Review: Allelochemicals as multi-kingdom plant defence compounds: towards an integrated approach (2020)
Journal Article
Hickman, D. T., Rasmussen, A., Ritz, K., Birkett, M. A., & Neve, P. (2021). Review: Allelochemicals as multi-kingdom plant defence compounds: towards an integrated approach. Pest Management Science, 77(3), 1121-1131. https://doi.org/10.1002/ps.6076

© 2020 The Authors. Pest Management Science published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of Society of Chemical Industry. The capability of synthetic pesticides to manage weeds, insect pests and pathogens in crops has diminished due to evolved resi...

Aerial Root Physiology: Reaching for the Sky or Down to Earth? (2019)
Book Chapter
Rasmussen, A., Dobrijevic, D. P., Ola, A., Ishaya, F. D., & Lovelock, C. E. (2019). Aerial Root Physiology: Reaching for the Sky or Down to Earth?. . Wiley. https://doi.org/10.1002/9781119312994.apr0668

Aerial roots have evolved in plants from diverse ecosystems, many facing specific environmental challenges associated with their natural or agricultural setting. In coastal species exposed to wind and waves, including mangroves, soft anoxic substrate... Read More about Aerial Root Physiology: Reaching for the Sky or Down to Earth?.

Variable water cycles have a greater impact on wheat growth and soil nitrogen response than constant watering (2019)
Journal Article
Cousins, O. H., Garnett, T. P., Rasmussen, A., Mooney, S. J., Smernik, R. J., Brien, C. J., & Cavagnaro, T. R. (2020). Variable water cycles have a greater impact on wheat growth and soil nitrogen response than constant watering. Plant Science, 290, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.plantsci.2019.05.009

© 2019 Current climate change models project that water availability will become more erratic in the future. With soil nitrogen (N) supply coupled to water availability, it is important to understand the combined effects of variable water and N suppl...

Roots-eye view: using microdialysis and microCT to non-destructively map root nutrient depletion and accumulation zones (2017)
Journal Article
Brackin, R., Atkinson, B. S., Sturrock, C. J., & Rasmussen, A. (2017). Roots-eye view: using microdialysis and microCT to non-destructively map root nutrient depletion and accumulation zones. Plant, Cell and Environment, 40(12), https://doi.org/10.1111/pce.13072

Improvement in fertiliser use efficiency is a key aspect for achieving sustainable agriculture in order to minimise costs, greenhouse gas emissions and pollution from nutrient runoff. To optimise root architecture for nutrient uptake and efficiency w...

Branching out in roots: uncovering form, function, and regulation (2014)
Journal Article
Atkinson, J. A., Rasmussen, A., Traini, R., Voss, U., Sturrock, C., Mooney, S. J., …Bennett, M. J. (2014). Branching out in roots: uncovering form, function, and regulation. Plant Physiology, 166(2), 538-550. https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.114.245423

Root branching is critical for plants to secure anchorage and ensure the supply of water, minerals, and nutrients. To date, research on root branching has focused on lateral root development in young seedlings. However, many other programs of postemb...
