Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) is an allotetraploid species and a typical thermophilic crop that can survive and grow well under temperatures up to 45°C. CRISPR/LbCpf1 (LbCas12a) is a temperature‐sensitive system for plant genome editing (Malzahn et al....

Brassinosteroids (BRs) play crucial roles in plant development, but little is known of mechanisms that integrate environmental cues into BR signaling. Conjugation to the small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) is emerging as an important mechanism to tr...

Journal Article
Lothian, A. J., Schwinn, M., Anton, A. H., Adams, C. E., Newton, M., Koed, A., & Lucas, M. C. (2020). Are we designing fishways for diversity? Potential selection on alternative phenotypes resulting from differential passage in brown trout. Journal of Environmental Management, 262, Article 110317. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2020.110317

Fishways are commonly employed to improve river connectivity for fishes, but the extent to which they cater for natural phenotypic diversity has been insufficiently addressed. We measured differential upstream passage success of three wild brown trou... Read More about Are we designing fishways for diversity?

Developing countries are far more vulnerable to climate change impacts than industrialised countries. Most of the world’s poor live in South Asia where they have limited livelihood options that have become even narrower in recent years, indicating a...

Scientific Reports, 10, Article 3142. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-59791-w

The abundance and diversity of intermediate filaments (IFs) in the C. elegans intestine indicate important contributions to intestinal function and organismal wellbeing. Fluorescent IF reporters localize below the actin-rich brush border and are high...

A global assessment of the drivers of threatened terrestrial species richness (2020)
Journal Article

High numbers of threatened species might be expected to occur where overall species richness is also high; however, this explains only a proportion of the global variation in threatened species richness. Understanding why many areas have more or fewe... Read More about A global assessment of the drivers of threatened terrestrial species richness.

Transpiration from subarctic deciduous woodlands: environmental controls and contribution to ecosystem evapotranspiration (2020)

Potential land‐climate feedbacks in subarctic regions, where rapid warming is driving forest expansion into the tundra, may be mediated by differences in transpiration of different plant functional types. Here we assess the environmental controls of... Read More about Transpiration from subarctic deciduous woodlands: environmental controls and contribution to ecosystem evapotranspiration.
