Volatile emission by contest losers revealed by real-time chemical analysis (2006)
Journal Article
Goubault, M., Batchelor, T. P., Linforth, R. S., Taylor, A. J., & Hardy, I. C. (2006). Volatile emission by contest losers revealed by real-time chemical analysis. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 273(1603), 2853-2859. doi:10.1098/rspb.2006.3655

Animal interactions often involve chemical exchange but simultaneous evaluation of chemistry and behaviour has been problematical. Here we report findings from a novel method, atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-mass spectrometry (APCI-MS) coupl...

Genetic mapping of a major gene affecting onion bulb fructan content (2006)
Journal Article
McCallum, J., Clarke, A., Pither-Joyce, M., Shaw, M., Butler, R., Brash, D., …Havey, M. J. (2006). Genetic mapping of a major gene affecting onion bulb fructan content. TAG Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 112(5), 958-967. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00122-005-0199-5

The non-structural dry matter content of onion bulbs consists principally of fructose, glucose, sucrose and fructans. The objective of this study was to understand the genetic basis for the wide variation observed in the relative amounts of these car...

Reconstructing the Origins and Dispersal of the Polynesian Bottle Gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) (2006)
Journal Article
Clarke, A. C., Burtenshaw, M. K., McLenachan, P. A., Erickson, D. L., & Penny, D. (2006). Reconstructing the Origins and Dispersal of the Polynesian Bottle Gourd (Lagenaria siceraria). Molecular Biology and Evolution, 23(5), 893-900. https://doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msj092

The origin of the Polynesian bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria), an important crop species in prehistoric Polynesia, has remained elusive. Most recently, a South American origin has been favored as the bottle gourd could have been introduced from thi...
