Integrating pests and pathogens into the climate change/food security debatePeter J Gregory
Scottish Crop Research Institute, Invergowrie, Dundee DD2 5DA, UK
J Exp Bot 60:2827-38. 2009..More mechanistic inclusion of pests and pathogen effects in crop models would lead to more realistic predictions of crop production on a regional scale and thereby assist in the development of more robust regional food security policies...
Climate change and food securityP J Gregory
Scottish Crop Research Institute, Invergowrie, Dundee DD2 5DA, UK
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci 360:2139-48. 2005..Agriculture is a major contributor of the greenhouse gases methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), so that regionally derived policies promoting adapted food systems need to mitigate further climate change...
Root growth models: towards a new generation of continuous approachesLionel Dupuy
Scottish Crop Research Institute, Invergowrie, Dundee DD2 5DA, UK
J Exp Bot 61:2131-43. 2010..Such knowledge should assist physiologists and geneticists to appreciate how meristem dynamics contribute to the pattern of growth and functioning of root systems in the field...
Attractive properties of an isoflavonoid found in white clover root nodules on the clover root weevilScott N Johnson
Scottish Crop Research Institute, Invergowrie, Dundee, DD2 5DA, UK
J Chem Ecol 31:2223-9. 2005..Such coevolutionary relationships are widely reported for aboveground insects and plants, but the present study suggests they may also occur belowground...
Extracellular release of a heterologous phytase from roots of transgenic plants: does manipulation of rhizosphere biochemistry impact microbial community structure?Timothy S George
SCRI, Invergowrie, Dundee, UK
FEMS Microbiol Ecol 70:433-45. 2009....
Effects of carbon dioxide on the searching behaviour of the root-feeding clover weevil Sitona lepidus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)S N Johnson
Scottish Crop Research Institute, Invergowrie, Dundee, UK
Bull Entomol Res 96:361-6. 2006..lepidus, whereby it induces larvae to search a smaller area more intensively, in order to detect location cues that are more specific to their host plant...
Feeding nine billion: the challenge to sustainable crop productionPeter J Gregory
SCRI Scottish Crop Research Institute, Invergowrie, Dundee DD2 5DA, UK
J Exp Bot 62:5233-9. 2011....
The effects of dwarfing genes on seedling root growth of wheatT Wojciechowski
SCRI, Invergowrie, Dundee DD2 5DA, UK
J Exp Bot 60:2565-73. 2009..A direct effect of dwarfing alleles on root growth during seedling establishment, rather than a secondary partitioning effect, was suggested by the present experiments...
Host plant recognition by the root feeding clover weevil, Sitona lepidus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)S N Johnson
School of Human and Environmental Sciences Department of Soil Science, University of Reading, Whiteknights, PO Box 233, Reading, RG6 6DW UK
Bull Entomol Res 94:433-9. 2004..There was no statistically significant difference in movement rates of larvae...
An X-ray micro-tomography system optimised for the low-dose study of living organismsP M Jenneson
School of Electronics and Physical Sciences, University of Surrey, Guildford, UK
Appl Radiat Isot 58:177-81. 2003..The X-ray dose to the plants was also assessed and found to have no effect on the plant root development...
