Topography shapes the structure, composition and function of tropical forest landscapes.
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2018-07)Topography is a key driver of tropical forest structure and composition, as it constrains local nutrient and hydraulic conditions within which trees grow. Yet we do not fully understand how changes in forest physiognomy ... -
Investigation of natural genetic modifiers of meiotic crossover frequency in Arabidopsis thaliana
Meiotic recombination, known as crossover, is a vital mechanism for generating genetic diversity in sexually reproducing populations. Recombination events are non-uniform across the genome, due to a variety of influences ... -
A computational biology approach to studying algae-bacterial interactions
(2018-07-20)Microalgae have a profound effect on the world due to their large contribution to net carbon fixation. Although they are phototrophic, more than 50% of microalgae are thought to depend on external supply of metabolites ... -
Morphological and Physiological Studies of the Carbon Concentrating Mechanism in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
(2019-05-18)Chlamydomonas reinhardtii possesses a single-cell-based CO2-concentrating mechanism (CCM). The CCM is an important element of algal photosynthesis, metabolism, growth and biomass production, which works by increasing the ...
