The role of Arabidopsis thaliana heterochromatin component H2A.W in meiotic recombination
In early meiosis, programmed-DNA double strand breaks occur throughout the genome which are predominantly repaired via homologous recombination. During this process, the homologous chromosomes pair and reciprocally exchange ... -
Effects of Cucumber Mosaic Virus on Plant-Pollinator Relationships
(2022-04-22)The interactions between plants and associated insects are complex and often mediated by volatile organic chemicals (VOCs). Infection by viruses alter plant volatile signatures and consequently affect how insects interact ... -
Mediterranean forest resilience to drought and climate change
Enhancing resilience to climate change is a key management goal for Mediterranean ecosystems. Typically, these management plans are based on ecological knowledge of species’ tolerances derived from local studies limited ... -
Using Modelling to Optimise the Use of Biological Control Agents Against Soil-Borne Plant Pathogens
(2021-11-27)There is considerable interest in the use of biological control agents as a control strategy against plant pathogens. However, significant variability in their success at pathogen suppression across field trials has resulted ...
