How trees and turnips grow fatter – researchers unlock the secrets of radial growth
Jan 09, 2019Plant science researchers from SLCU and the University of Helsinki have identified key regulatory networks controlling how plants grow ‘outwards’, which could help us to grow trees to be more efficient carbon sinks and increase vegetable crop yields.
SLCU helps reveal another layer in the strigolactone signalling pathway
Nov 23, 2018An interdisciplinary collaboration between structural biologists and plant scientists has revealed another layer in the signalling pathway of strigolactone – a plant hormone that plays a key role in shoot branching and other plant development processes.
Circadian clock imparts continuous control over the timing of cell division
Nov 15, 2018SLCU researchers have demonstrated that the circadian clock is more complex than a simple ‘on-off switch’ when it comes to controlling cell division.
