PS Seminar Series- PhD Exit seminar - Characterising extracellular vesicles from the fungal wheat pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici »
Fungal phytopathogens secrete a litany of molecules during their infection of a plant host, including virulence factors like effector proteins. Secreted virulence factors function in the apoplast of host tissues or are trafficked into host cells.

PS Seminar Series- PhD Exit seminar - An evolutionary and biochemical approach to gain insight into SAL1-PAP retrograde signalling »
Plant acclimation to environmental stress involves complex cellular processes including chloroplast-to-nucleus communication mediated by signals such as 3’-phosphoadenosine 5’-phosphate (PAP) and its catabolic phosphatase, SAL1.

PS Seminar Series - Metabolism and energy bottlenecks in plant vasculature »
Phloem is the vascular tissue in plants - responsible for transporting sugars from source to sink. It is well established that osmotic currents drive the flow of sap through phloem vessels.

PS PhD Exit Seminar: Tree structure and carbon cycling in a tropical rainforest under long-term drought »
Tropical forests are highly productive and biodiverse, exchanging more carbon with the atmosphere than any other terrestrial ecosystem and representing the apex of taxonomic and structural diversity on land.

PS Seminar Series - Phi thickenings in roots - A mechanism that mechanically strengthens the growing primary root? »
Phi thickenings are peculiar secondary cell wall thickenings that form reinforcing bands around the radial walls of cortical cells in plant roots, a location where only a primary cell wall would normally be found.
