Journal Article
Voss, U., Larrieu, A., & Wells, D. M. (2013). From jellyfish to biosensors: the use of fluorescent proteins in plants. International Journal of Developmental Biology, 57(6-7-8), 525-533. https://doi.org/10.1387/ijdb.130208dw

The milestone discovery of green fluorescent protein (GFP) from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria, its optimisation for efficient use in plantae, and subsequent improvements in techniques for fluorescent detection and quantification have changed plant...

Lateral root morphogenesis is dependent on the mechanical properties of the overlaying tissues (2013)
Journal Article
Lucas, M., Kenobi, K., Von Wangenheim, D., Voß, U., Swarup, K., De Smet, I., …Bennett, M. J. (2013). Lateral root morphogenesis is dependent on the mechanical properties of the overlaying tissues. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 110(13), 5229-5234. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1210807110

In Arabidopsis, lateral root primordia (LRPs) originate from pericycle cells located deep within the parental root and have to emerge through endodermal, cortical, and epidermal tissues. These overlaying tissues place biomechanical constraints on the... Read More about Lateral root morphogenesis is dependent on the mechanical properties of the overlaying tissues.
