Review: More effective linkages between science and policy are needed to minimize the negative environmental impacts of livestock production (2021)
Journal Article
Gill, M., Garnsworthy, P., & Wilkinson, J. M. (2021). Review: More effective linkages between science and policy are needed to minimize the negative environmental impacts of livestock production. Animal, 15(Supplement 1), Article 100291. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.animal.2021.100291

Animals form an integral part of our planetary ecosystem but balance is critical to effective ecosystem functioning as demand for livestock products has increased, greater numbers of domesticated livestock have created an imbalance and hence had a ne...

Mutation in OsCADT1 enhances cadmium tolerance and enriches selenium in rice grain (2019)
Journal Article
Chen, J., Huang, X., Salt, D. E., & Zhao, F. (2020). Mutation in OsCADT1 enhances cadmium tolerance and enriches selenium in rice grain. New Phytologist, 226(3), 838-850. https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.16404

•How cadmium (Cd) tolerance in rice is regulated remains poorly understood. We used a forward genetic approach to investigate Cd tolerance in rice. •Using root elongation assay, we isolated a rice mutant with enhanced Cd tolerance, cadt1, from an EMS...

Partners in Expert Working Group WG2 of the COST Action METHAGENE (www.methagene.eu) have used several methods for measuring methane output by individual dairy cattle under various environmental conditions. Methods included respiration chambers, the... Read More about Comparison of Methods to Measure Methane for Use in Genetic Evaluation of Dairy Cattle.

Bambara groundnut : an exemplar underutilised legume for resilience under climate change (2019)
Journal Article
Mayes, S., Ho, W. K., Chai, H. H., Gao, X., Kundy, A. C., Mateva, K. I., …Azam-Ali, S. (2019). Bambara groundnut : an exemplar underutilised legume for resilience under climate change. Planta, 250(3), 803-820. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00425-019-03191-6

World agriculture is currently based on very limited numbers of crops, representing a significant risk to food supplies, particularly in the face of climate change which is expected to increase the frequency of extreme events. Minor and underutilised... Read More about Bambara groundnut : an exemplar underutilised legume for resilience under climate change.
