Arabidopsis Research Round-up
14th Oct 2013
Our GARNet committee members have certainly been busy recently. This week’s Arabidopsis Research Round-up features a Current Biology paper to which the University of Nottingham’s Malcolm Bennett contributed, and, not content with having a paper featured last week, Cyril Zipfel from the...

10th Oct 2013
University of Liège post-doctoral researcher Dr Guillaume Lobet studies the interactions between roots and shoots and how these interactions contribute to the development of the plant. Throughout the course of his work, Lobet often needs to analyse images of plant roots and, while plenty of image...
Arabidopsis Research Round-up
9th Oct 2013
This week’s Arabidopsis Research Round-up features a current GARNet committee member from the Sainsbury Laboratory in Norwich, and our former GARNet PI, Andrew Millar from the Unviersity of Edinburgh. Both contributions to the literature this week are open access! Keily J, MacGregor...
Arabidopsis Research Round-up

In this week’s Arabidopsis Research Round-Up, we have a new paper from a GARNet committee member, and an interesting statistical method developed and validated in both plant and animal models. Enjoy! Jiang C, Belfield EJ, Cao Y, Smith AC and Harberd NP. An Arabidopsis...
Arabidopsis Research Round-up
24th Sep 2013
Apologies that there was no Arabidopsis Research Round-up last week – we were really busy with our 4-day ‘Data Mining with iPlant’ workshop! However, it does mean that we have a bumper crop of UK Arabidopsis papers to share with you from the last couple of weeks, including research from the...
Cell 'scaffold' is the key to plant cell growth
24th Sep 2013
Scientists have discovered an important mechanism in plant cells which regulates the direction that plant cells grow. The discovery could have the potential to develop higher yielding crops or increase the size of plants grown for use in biofuels. A BBSRC-funded team at the University of...
