The early inflorescence of Arabidopsis thaliana demonstrates positional effects in floral organ growth and meristem patterning (2017)
Journal Article
Plackett, A. R. G., Powers, S. J., Phillips, A. L., Wilson, Z. A., Hedden, P., & Thomas, S. G. (2018). The early inflorescence of Arabidopsis thaliana demonstrates positional effects in floral organ growth and meristem patterning. Plant Reproduction, 31(2), https://doi.org/10.1007/s00497-017-0320-3

Most flowering plants, including the genetic model Arabidopsis thaliana, produce multiple flowers in sequence from a reproductive shoot apex to form a flower spike (inflorescence). The development of individual flowers on an Arabidopsis inflorescence...

Mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 overexpression increases yield in Nicotiana Tabacum under drought stress by improving source and sink metabolism (2017)
Journal Article
Barreto, P., Yassitepe, J. E., Wilson, Z. A., & Arruda, P. (2017). Mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 overexpression increases yield in Nicotiana Tabacum under drought stress by improving source and sink metabolism. Frontiers in Plant Science, 8, Article 1836. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2017.01836

Mitochondrial uncoupling proteins (UCPs) sustain mitochondrial respiration independent of intracellular ATP concentration. Uncoupled respiration is particularly beneficial under stress conditions, during which both photosynthesis and respiration may...

RiceAntherNet: a gene co-expression network for identifying anther and pollen development genes (2017)
Journal Article
Lin, H., Yu, J., Pearce, S., Zhang, D., & Wilson, Z. A. (2017). RiceAntherNet: a gene co-expression network for identifying anther and pollen development genes. Plant Journal, 92(6), https://doi.org/10.1111/tpj.13744

In plants, normal anther and pollen development involves many important biological events and complex molecular regulatory coordination. Understanding gene regulatory relationships during male reproductive development is essential for fundamental bio...

Transcription factor MYB26 is key to spatial specificity in anther secondary thickening formation (2017)
Journal Article
Yang, C., Song, J., Ferguson, A. C., Klisch, D., Simpson, K., Mo, R., …Wilson, Z. A. (2017). Transcription factor MYB26 is key to spatial specificity in anther secondary thickening formation. Plant Physiology, 175(1), https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.17.00719

Successful fertilization relies on the production and effective release of viable pollen. Failure of anther opening (dehiscence), results in male sterility, although the pollen may be fully functional. MYB26 regulates the formation of secondary thick...

Harnessing diversity from ecosystems to crops to genes (2017)
Journal Article
Buchanan-Wollaston, V., Wilson, Z. A., Tardieu, F., Beynon, J., & Denby, K. (2017). Harnessing diversity from ecosystems to crops to genes. Food and Energy Security, 6(1), https://doi.org/10.1002/fes3.106

To feed humanity, while maintaining a stable and diverse biosphere, crop science needs to adapt to an open research environment where genetic resources and the data demonstrating the environments in which they are effective are freely shared. The cha... Read More about Harnessing diversity from ecosystems to crops to genes.

Non-destructive determination of floral staging in cereals using X-ray micro computed tomography (µCT) (2017)
Journal Article
Tracy, S. R., Gómez, J. F., Sturrock, C., Wilson, Z. A., & Ferguson, A. (2017). Non-destructive determination of floral staging in cereals using X-ray micro computed tomography (µCT). Plant Methods, 13(1), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13007-017-0162-x

Background
Accurate floral staging is required to aid research into pollen and flower development, in particular male development. Pollen development is highly sensitive to stress and is critical for crop yields. Research into male development under...
