This weeks Research Roundup begins with two papers from the University
of Edinburgh on very different topics of Arabidopsis research.
Firstly Alistair McCormick and Sofirtios Tsaftaris introduce a new
low-cost phenotyping platform whilst Gerben Ooijen’s group has analysed
the role of SUMOylation in the control of the circadian clock.
The next three papers each involve wide UK collaborations and either
look at plant nutrient composition (Nottingham, Dundee, York), the role
of N-end rule pathway in the control of seed storage mobilisation
(Rothamsted, Nottingham, Oxford, Birmingham, Cambridge) or the
development of a new tool for the study of phloem sieve elements (Leeds,
Rothamsted, Cambridge, Newcastle).
The penultimate paper from Daniel Zilbermann (JIC) highlights the global
mechanisms of methyltransferase function in Arabidopsis and mice whilst
the final paper from Alexandre Ruban (QMUL) and co-authors continues his
groups work to unpick the specifics of NPQ.
