• Data science approaches provide a roadmap to understanding the role of abscisic acid in defence 

      Stevens, Katie; Johnston, Iain; Luna, Estrella (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Abscisic acid (ABA) is a plant hormone well known to regulate abiotic stress responses. ABA is also recognised for its role in biotic defence, but there is currently a lack of consensus on whether it plays a positive or ...
    • Exchange on dynamic encounter networks allows plant mitochondria to collect complete sets of mitochondrial DNA products despite their incomplete genomes 

      Giannakis, Konstantinos; Chustecki, Joanna M.; Johnston, Iain George (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Mitochondria in plant cells usually contain less than a full copy of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genome. Here, we asked whether mitochondrial dynamics may allow individual mitochondria to ‘collect’ a full set of mtDNA-encoded ...
    • What is quantitative plant biology? 

      Autran, Daphné; Bassel, George W.; Chae, Eunyoung; Ezer, Daphne; Ferjani, Ali; Fleck, Christian; Hamant, Olivier; Hartmann, Félix P.; Jiao, Yuling; Johnston, Iain; Kwiatkowska, Dorota; Lim, Boon L.; Mahönen, Ari Pekka; Morris, Richard J.; Mulder, Bela M.; Nakayama, Naomi; Sozzani, Ross; Strader, Lucia C.; Ten Tusscher, Kirsten; Ueda, Minako; Wolf, Sebastian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Quantitative plant biology is an interdisciplinary field that builds on a long history of biomathematics and biophysics. Today, thanks to high spatiotemporal resolution tools and computational modelling, it sets a new ...
