Positioning the Root Elongation Zone Is Saltatory and Receives Input from the Shoot (2020)
Journal Article
Baskin, T. I., Preston, S., Zelinsky, E., Yang, X., Elmali, M., Bellos, D., …Bennett, M. J. (2020). Positioning the Root Elongation Zone Is Saltatory and Receives Input from the Shoot. iScience, 23(7), Article 101309. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.isci.2020.101309

In the root, meristem and elongation zone lengths remain stable, despite growth and division of cells. To gain insight into zone stability, we imaged individual Arabidopsis thaliana roots through a horizontal microscope, and used image analysis to ob...

Low-cost automated vectors and modular environmental sensors for plant phenotyping (2020)
Journal Article
Bagley, S. A., Atkinson, J. A., Hunt, H., Wilson, M. H., Pridmore, T. P., & Wells, D. M. (2020). Low-cost automated vectors and modular environmental sensors for plant phenotyping. Sensors, 20(11), https://doi.org/10.3390/s20113319

© 2020 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. High-throughput plant phenotyping in controlled environments (growth chambers and glasshouses) is often delivered via large, expensive installations, leading to limited access and the increase...

Auxin fluxes through plasmodesmata modify root-tip auxin distribution (2020)
Journal Article
Mellor, N. L., Voß, U., Janes, G., Bennett, M. J., Wells, D. M., & Band, L. R. (2020). Auxin fluxes through plasmodesmata modify root-tip auxin distribution. Development, 147(6), Article dev181669. https://doi.org/10.1242/dev.181669

© 2020. Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd. Auxin is a key signal regulating plant growth and development. It is well established that auxin dynamics depend on the spatial distribution of efflux and influx carriers on the cell membranes. In t...
