Using indices of species’ potential range to inform conservation status (2021)
Journal Article
Mason, T. H., Stephens, P. A., Gilbert, G., Green, R. E., Wilson, J. D., Jennings, K., Allen, J. R., Huntley, B., Howard, C., & Willis, S. G. (2021). Using indices of species’ potential range to inform conservation status. Ecological Indicators, 123, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolind.2021.107343

Assessments of conservation status are typically based on short-term extinction risk, but the value of indicators that compare the current state of species (e.g., abundance or distribution) to potential baselines is increasingly recognised. The use o... Read More about Using indices of species’ potential range to inform conservation status.

SUMO mediated regulation of transcription factors as a mechanism for transducing environmental cues into cellular signaling in plants (2021)
Journal Article
Roy, D., & Sadanandom, A. (2021). SUMO mediated regulation of transcription factors as a mechanism for transducing environmental cues into cellular signaling in plants. Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 78(6), 2641-2664. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00018-020-03723-4

Across all species, transcription factors (TFs) are the most frequent targets of SUMOylation. The effect of SUMO conjugation on the functions of transcription factors has been extensively studied in animal systems, with over 200 transcription factors...

Genome-wide macroevolutionary signatures of key innovations in butterflies colonizing new host plants (2021)
Journal Article
Allio, R., Nabholz, B., Wanke, S., Chomicki, G., Pérez-Escobar, O. A., Cotton, A. M., Clamens, A.-L., Kergoat, G. J., Sperling, F. A., & Condamine, F. L. (2021). Genome-wide macroevolutionary signatures of key innovations in butterflies colonizing new host plants. Nature Communications, 12, Article 354. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-20507-3

The mega-diversity of herbivorous insects is attributed to their co-evolutionary associations with plants. Despite abundant studies on insect-plant interactions, we do not know whether host-plant shifts have impacted both genomic adaptation and speci...

Root growth responses to mechanical impedance are regulated by a network of ROS, ethylene and auxin signalling in Arabidopsis (2021)
Journal Article
Jacobsen, A., Jervis, G., Xu, J., Topping, J., & Lindsey, K. (2021). Root growth responses to mechanical impedance are regulated by a network of ROS, ethylene and auxin signalling in Arabidopsis. New Phytologist, 231(1), 225-242. https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.17180

The growth and development of root systems is influenced by mechanical properties of the substrate in which the plants grow. Mechanical impedance, such as by compacted soil, can reduce root elongation and limit crop productivity. To understand better...

Gibberellin signaling mediates lateral root inhibition in response to K+-deprivation (2021)
Journal Article
Hetherington, F., Kakkar, M., Topping, J., & Lindsey, K. (2021). Gibberellin signaling mediates lateral root inhibition in response to K+-deprivation. Plant Physiology, 185(3), 1198-1215. https://doi.org/10.1093/plphys/kiaa093

The potassium ion (K+) is vital for plant growth and development, and K+-deprivation leads to reduced crop yields. Here we describe phenotypic, transcriptomic, and mutant analyses to investigate the signaling mechanisms mediating root architectural c...

Monitoring apoptosis in intact cells by high‐resolution magic angle spinning 1 H NMR spectroscopy (2021)
Journal Article
Wylot, M., Whittaker, D. T., Wren, S. A., Bothwell, J. H., Hughes, L., & Griffin, J. L. (2021). Monitoring apoptosis in intact cells by high‐resolution magic angle spinning 1 H NMR spectroscopy. NMR in Biomedicine, 34(3), Article e4456. https://doi.org/10.1002/nbm.4456

Apoptosis maintains an equilibrium between cell proliferation and cell death. Many diseases, including cancer, develop because of defects in apoptosis. A known metabolic marker of apoptosis is a notable increase in 1H NMR‐observable resonances associ...
