The first four papers in this GARNet Research Roundup includes research
from Norwich Research Park. Firstly members of Jonathan Jones’ lab have
identified a new Avr gene from Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis. Secondly
Anne Osbourn’s lab characterises two novel arabinosyltransferases that
are involved in the plant defence response. Thirdly Cathie Martin’s
group is involved in a study that investigates the biosynthesis of the
metabolite ubiquinone. Finally in research from NRP is from Silke
Robatzek’s lab, where they use a novel quantitative imaging system to
characterise stomatal mutants.
The next two papers arise from work at SLCU, firstly looking at the
possible role of a novel transposon family during gene-shuffling and
secondly a paper that investigates the structure of an important
component of the strigolactone signaling pathway.
The seventh paper from Peter Eastmond’s lab at Rothamsted Research
identifies a novel gene involved in seed oil composition.
The penultimate paper is from Peter Unwin at the University of Leeds and
assesses the cell wall composition of ‘giant’ root cells induced by
nematode Meloidogyne spp.
Finally is a methods paper that describes how microCT imaging can be
used to measure different leaf parameters.
