Petals, pigments and pollinator preferences
As the world population rises, we will need to grow more food. Insect pollination is essential or beneficial for ~75% of crops, including most fruit, nuts, and commodity crops such as coffee and cocoa, yet there is evidence ... -
Meristem regulation in the early divergent land plant Marchantia polymorpha
Meristems are key features of land plant development, enabling post-embryonic organogenesis through precise spatial patterning of cell division and differentiation. Extensive work on flowering plant meristems has revealed ... -
Strategies to increase production of betalain pigments and their use as SynBio tools
Betalains are plant pigments showing a wide range of potential applications in the pharmacological, biotechnological and commodity sectors. They are currently being used as natural food colorants, and intermediates of the ... -
The hormonal regulation of PIN protein localisation and its relevance to shoot architecture
Shoot branching plasticity relies on integration of diverse signals to regulate the activity of buds, which is partially mediated through auxin transport by PINs and the regulation thereof. Whilst PIN behaviour has been ...
