Plastid to Nucleus Signalling and the Evolution of C4 Photosynthesis
(2021-09-18)Plastid to nucleus signals have been shown to regulate core photosynthetic genes, in both C3 and C4 species. However, the regulatory mechanisms of this signalling are not well understood. C4 photosynthesis has evolved from ... -
Population structure and the molecular genetics of petal spot pigmentation in Gorteria diffusa
(2021-05-17)Petal spots are aggregations of pigmented cells in distinct regions of the petal and are known to function in pollinator attraction across multiple systems. They occur within many plant lineages, but petal spots of the ... -
A multiscale study of plasmodesmata: from channel ultrastructure to plant architecture
Plasmodesmata are nanoscale, membrane lined pores that span the cell wall of neighbouring plant cells. The presence of these structures enables cell-cell movement of substances important for plant growth and development. ... -
Unlocking the genetic potential of the root system, rhizosheath mucilage and microbiome of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
An increasing global population, projections of climates that will challenge sufficient crop production, and a detrimental use of fertiliser and pesticides mean that we need to increase the productivity of land currently ...
