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 ... -
Evaluating the ecosystem services and disservices provided by Mediterranean woodlands
Forest regeneration and tree planting have been promoted as means to mitigate climate change through carbon fixation, and as options to restore biodiversity to exploited landscapes. However, the regulating services that ... -
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 ...
