Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is a key retrograde signal in plants, linking chloroplast-derived stress cues to nuclear gene expression.
Plants synthesize an amazing diversity of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that facilitate interactions with their environment, ranging from attracting pollinators and seed dispersers to protecting themselves from pathogens, parasites, and herbivores.
Fungal diseases are among the most significant causes of wheat yield loss globally and pose a serious threat to food security.
Plants don’t exist naturally in isolation. They are surrounded by, colonised by, and interact with, microorganisms.
Our research explores the concept of priming-induced stress memory in plants, where exposure to mild or non-lethal stress events equips plants to better confront subsequent, more severe stressors.
The simultaneous measurement of meteorological variables along with ecosystem physiology has improved our understanding of how native and managed ecosystems respond to external forcings like climate change.
