Book Chapter
Li, L., Zhang, T., Hussey, P. J., & Wang, P. (2024). Studying Plant ER-PM Contact Site Localized Proteins Using Microscopy. In V. Kriechbaumer (Ed.), . Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-0716-3710-4_3

As in most eukaryotic cells, the plant endoplasmic reticulum (ER) network is physically linked to the plasma membrane (PM), forming ER-PM contact sites (EPCS). The protein complex required for maintaining the EPCS is composed of ER integral membrane... Read More about Studying Plant ER-PM Contact Site Localized Proteins Using Microscopy.

Flowering time: from physiology, through genetics to mechanism. (2024)
Journal Article
Maple, R., Zhu, P., Hepworth, J., Wang, J.-W., & Dean, C. (2024). Flowering time: from physiology, through genetics to mechanism. Plant Physiology, 195(1), 190–212. https://doi.org/10.1093/plphys/kiae109

Plant species have evolved different requirements for environmental/endogenous cues to induce flowering. Originally, these varying requirements were thought to reflect the action of different molecular mechanisms. Thinking changed when genetic and mo...

Emerging therapeutic targets in systemic sclerosis. (2024)
Journal Article
O'Reilly, S. (2024). Emerging therapeutic targets in systemic sclerosis. Journal of Molecular Medicine, 102(4), 465-478. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00109-024-02424-w

Systemic sclerosis is an autoimmune connective tissue disease which is characterised by vascular perturbations, inflammation, and fibrosis. Although huge progress recently into the underlying molecular pathways that are perturbed in the disease, curr... Read More about Emerging therapeutic targets in systemic sclerosis..

Genomics of post-bottleneck recovery in the northern elephant seal. (2024)
Journal Article
Hoelzel, A. R., Gkafas, G. A., Kang, H., Sarigol, F., Le Boeuf, B., Costa, D. P., …Li, S. (2024). Genomics of post-bottleneck recovery in the northern elephant seal. Nature Ecology and Evolution, 8, 686-694. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41559-024-02337-4

Populations and species are threatened by human pressure, but their fate is variable. Some depleted populations, such as that of the northern elephant seal (Mirounga angustirostris), recover rapidly even when the surviving population was small. The n...

The origin and speciation of orchids (2024)
Journal Article
Pérez‐Escobar, O. A., Bogarín, D., Przelomska, N. A. S., Ackerman, J. D., Balbuena, J. A., Bellot, S., …Antonelli, A. (2024). The origin and speciation of orchids. New Phytologist, 242(2), 700-716. https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.19580

Summary
Orchids constitute one of the most spectacular radiations of flowering plants. However, their origin, spread across the globe, and hotspots of speciation remain uncertain due to the lack of an up-to-date phylogeographic analysis.
We present... Read More about The origin and speciation of orchids.

Multi-layered genome defences in bacteria (2024)
Journal Article
Agapov, A., Baker, K., Bedekar, P., Bhatia, R., Blower, T. R., Brockhurst, M. A., …Wright, R. (2024). Multi-layered genome defences in bacteria. Current Opinion in Microbiology, 78, Article 102436. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mib.2024.102436

Bacteria have evolved a variety of defence mechanisms to protect against mobile genetic elements, including restriction-modification systems and CRISPR–Cas. In recent years, dozens of previously unknown defence systems (DSs) have been discovered. Not... Read More about Multi-layered genome defences in bacteria.

Plant invasion and naturalization are influenced by genome size, ecology and economic use globally (2024)
Journal Article
Guo, K., Pyšek, P., van Kleunen, M., Kinlock, N. L., Lučanová, M., Leitch, I. J., …Guo, W. (2024). Plant invasion and naturalization are influenced by genome size, ecology and economic use globally. Nature Communications, 15(1), Article 1330. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-45667-4

Human factors and plant characteristics are important drivers of plant invasions, which threaten ecosystem integrity, biodiversity and human well-being. However, while previous studies often examined a limited number of factors or focused on a specif...

Scientific Reports, 14, Article 3015. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-48112-6

Anthropogenic factors have impacted the diversity and evolutionary trajectory of various species. This can be through factors such as pressure on population size or range, habitat fragmentation, or extensive manipulation and translocation. Here we us...
