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 ... -
Cell markers for air chamber development in Marchantia polymorpha
Marchantia polymorpha, thanks to its small genome and its simple cellular architecture, is an excellent model for the study of developmental processes. Marchantia can propagate asexually producing small flat disc-like ... -
Investigations into the molecular interactions between Claviceps purpurea, the causal agent of ergot, and cereal hosts
The fungus Claviceps purpurea infects female flowers of cereals and grasses, producing an ergot sclerotia (the overwintering structure of the pathogen) in place of a grain. C. purpurea can infect wheat, barley, rye, oats, ...
