Pollinator behaviour and the evolutionary genetics of petal surface texture in the Solanaceae
(2013-04)Conical cells in the petal epidermis are a common trait across the angiosperms, and influence pollinator behaviour and pollination success. This work explores two key aspects of conical cell evolution: firstly, why conical ... -
Interactions between Cucumber mosaic virus proteins and host proteins
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) infects over a thousand plant species including many crops. CMV is mainly transmitted between plants by aphids, insects with probing mouthparts that introduce virus particles directly into host ... -
Modelling spatial strategies for the durable deployment of crop disease resistance
Maximising the durability of crop disease resistance genes in the face of pathogen evolution is a major challenge in modern agricultural epidemiology. Spatial diversification in the deployment of resistance genes, where ... -
Genetically dissect disease interactions between Parastagonospora nodorum and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
Parastagonospora nodorum is a necrotrophic fungal pathogen of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and the causative agent of stagonospora nodorum blotch (SNB). P. nodorum mediates host cell death using proteinaceous effectors. ...
