Molecular architecture of softwood revealed by solid-state NMR
Oliver M. Terrett, Jan J. Lyczakowski, Li Yu, Dinu Iuga, W. Trent Franks, Steven P. Brown, Ray Dupree, Paul Dupree
Oct 31, 2020
Abstract: Economically important softwood from conifers is mainly composed of the polysaccharides cellulose, galactoglucomannan and xylan, and the phenolic polymer, lignin. The interactions between these polymers lead to wood...
Life history, climate and biogeography interactively affect worldwide genetic diversity of plant and animal populations.
Understanding how biological and environmental factors interactively shape the global distribution of plant and animal genetic diversity is fundamental to biodiversity conservation. Genetic diversity measured in local...
A secreted protein of 15 kDa plays an important role in Phytophthora palmivora development and pathogenicity
Sittiporn Pettongkhao, Natasha Navet, Sebastian Schornack, Miaoying Tian, Nunta Churngchow
Feb 10, 2021
Abstract: Phytophthora palmivora is a destructive oomycete plant pathogen with a wide host range. So far, little is known about the factors governing its infection structure development and pathogenicity. From the culture...
Carbon flux through photosynthesis and central carbon metabolism show distinct patterns between algae, C 3 and C 4 plants
Haim Treves, Anika Küken, Stéphanie Arrivault, Hirofumi Ishihara, Ines Hoppe, Alexander Erban, Melanie Höhne, Thiago Alexandre Moraes, Joachim Kopka, Jedrzej Szymanski, Zoran Nikoloski, Mark Stitt
Jan 28, 2022
Abstract: Photosynthesis-related pathways are regarded as a promising avenue for crop improvement. Whilst empirical studies have shown that photosynthetic efficiency is higher in microalgae than in C3 or C4 crops, the underlying...
Remote sensing reveals Antarctic green snow algae as important terrestrial carbon sink
Andrew Gray, Monika Krolikowski, Peter Fretwell, Peter Convey, Lloyd S. Peck, Monika Mendelova, Alison G. Smith, Matthew P. Davey
May 20, 2021
Abstract: We present the first estimate of green snow algae community biomass and distribution along the Antarctic Peninsula. Sentinel 2 imagery supported by two field campaigns revealed 1679 snow algae blooms, seasonally...
The negative regulator SMAX1 controls mycorrhizal symbiosis and strigolactone biosynthesis in rice
Jeongmin Choi, Tak Lee, Jungnam Cho, Emily K. Servante, Boas Pucker, William Summers, Sarah Bowden, Mehran Rahimi, Kyungsook An, Gynheung An, Harro J. Bouwmeester, Emma J. Wallington, Giles Oldroyd, Uta. Paszkowski
Apr 30, 2021
Abstract: Most plants associate with beneficial arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi that facilitate soil nutrient acquisition. Prior to contact, partner recognition triggers reciprocal genetic remodelling to enable colonisation....
