Journal Article
Chivasa, S., & Goodman, H. L. (2020). Stress‐adaptive gene discovery by exploiting collective decision‐making of decentralised plant response systems. New Phytologist, 225(6), 2307-2313. https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.16273

Despite having a network of cytoplasmic interconnections (plasmodesmata) facilitating rapid exchange of metabolites and signal molecules, plant cells use the extracellular matrix as an alternative route for cell‐cell communication. The need for extra... Read More about Stress‐adaptive gene discovery by exploiting collective decision‐making of decentralised plant response systems.

Bioenergy Production Using Trichormus variabilis - A review (2019)
Journal Article
Abedi, S., Astaraei, F. R., Ghobadian, B., Tavakoli, O., Jalili, H., Chivasa, S., & Chris, G. H. (2019). Bioenergy Production Using Trichormus variabilis - A review. Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, 13(5), 1365-1382. https://doi.org/10.1002/bbb.2023

Fossil‐fuel processing and consumption contaminates air, soil, and water resources through the release of hazardous chemicals. The harnessing of renewable energy resources and development of sustainable technologies have become prime targets of resea...

Establishment and Characterization of Callus and Cell Suspension Cultures of Selected Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench Varieties: A Resource for Gene Discovery in Plant Stress Biology (2019)
Journal Article
Ramulifho, E., Goche, T., Van As, J., Tsilo, T. J., Chivasa, S., & Ngara, R. (2019). Establishment and Characterization of Callus and Cell Suspension Cultures of Selected Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench Varieties: A Resource for Gene Discovery in Plant Stress Biology. Agronomy, 9(5), Article 218. https://doi.org/10.3390/agronomy9050218

Sorghum, a naturally drought tolerant crop, is genetically diverse and provides a wide gene pool for exploitation in crop breeding. In this study, we experimentally assessed friable callus induction rates of seven sorghum varieties using shoot explan...

Decoupling a novel Trichormus variabilis-Synechocystis sp. interaction to boost phycoremediation (2019)
Journal Article
Abedi, S., Astaraei, F. R., Ghobadian, B., Tavakoli, O., Jalili, H., Greenwell, H. C., Cummins, I., & Chivasa, S. (2019). Decoupling a novel Trichormus variabilis-Synechocystis sp. interaction to boost phycoremediation. Scientific Reports, 9, Article 2511. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-38997-7

To conserve freshwater resources, domestic and industrial wastewater is recycled. Algal systems have emerged as an efficient, low-cost option for treatment (phycoremediation) of nutrient-rich wastewater and environmental protection. However, industri...
