Root RADAR: how 'rhizocrine' signals allow roots to detect and respond to their soil environment and stresses (2024)
Journal Article
Pandey, B. K., George, T. S., Cooper, H. V., Sturrock, C. J., Bennett, T., & Bennett, M. J. (2024). Root RADAR: how 'rhizocrine' signals allow roots to detect and respond to their soil environment and stresses. Journal of Experimental Botany, https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/erae490/7915911

Agricultural intensification coupled with changing climate are causing soils to become increasingly vulnerable to stresses such as drought, soil erosion and compaction. The mechanisms by which roots detect and respond to soil stresses remains poorly...

Food system actor perspectives on future-proofing European food systems through plant breeding (2023)
Journal Article
Stetkiewicz, S., Menary, J., Nair, A., Rufino, M., Fischer, A. R. H., Cornelissen, M., Guichaoua, A., Jorasch, P., Lemarié, S., Nanda, A. K., Wilhelm, R., & Davies, J. A. C. (2023). Food system actor perspectives on future-proofing European food systems through plant breeding. Scientific Reports, 13(1), Article 5444. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-32207-1

Crop improvement is a key innovation area in the pursuit of sustainable food systems. However, realising its potential requires integration of the needs and priorities of all agri-food chain stakeholders. In this study, we provide a multi-stakeholder...

Genetic transformation of the dinoflagellate chloroplast (2019)
Journal Article
Nimmo, I. C., Barbrook, A. C., Lassadi, I., Chen, J. E., Geisler, K., Smith, A. G., Aranda, M., Purton, S., Waller, R. F., Nisbet, R. E. R., & Howe, C. J. (2019). Genetic transformation of the dinoflagellate chloroplast. eLife, 8, Article e45292. https://doi.org/10.7554/elife.45292

Coral reefs are some of the most important and ecologically diverse marine environments. At the base of the reef ecosystem are dinoflagellate algae, which live symbiotically within coral cells. Efforts to understand the relationship between alga and... Read More about Genetic transformation of the dinoflagellate chloroplast.

Integrated Genomic and Transcriptomic Analysis of the Peridinin Dinoflagellate Amphidinium carterae Plastid (2019)
Journal Article
Dorrell, R. G., Nisbet, R. E. R., Barbrook, A. C., Rowden, S. J., & Howe, C. J. (2019). Integrated Genomic and Transcriptomic Analysis of the Peridinin Dinoflagellate Amphidinium carterae Plastid. Protist, 170(4), 358-373. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.protis.2019.06.001

The plastid genomes of peridinin-containing dinoflagellates are highly unusual, possessing very few genes, which are located on small chromosomal elements termed "minicircles". These minicircles may contain genes, or no recognisable coding informatio...

Palm oil is among the most important vegetable oils, contributing to a quarter of the world’s oils and fats market. The oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) fruitlets, which are the source of palm oil, vary from 8eight to 20 g in weight. Palm oil conte...

A large number of genes involved in lateral root (LR) organogenesis have been identified over the last decade using forward and reverse genetic approaches in Arabidopsis thaliana. Nevertheless, how these genes interact to form a LR regulatory network...
