A systematic review of machine-learning solutions in anaerobic digestion (2023)
Journal Article

The use of machine learning (ML) in anaerobic digestion (AD) is growing in popularity and improves the interpretation of complex system parameters for better operation and optimisation. This systematic literature review aims to explore how ML is curr... Read More about A systematic review of machine-learning solutions in anaerobic digestion.

Bacteriophage taxonomy: A continually evolving discipline (2023)
Book Chapter

While taxonomy is an often underappreciated branch of science, it serves very important roles. Bacteriophage taxonomy has evolved from a discipline based mainly on morphology, characterized by the work of David Bradley and Hans-Wolfgang Ackermann, to...

Preharvest application of hydrogen sulfide and nitric oxide improves floral traits and postharvest performance of cut gladiolus inflorescences (2023)
Journal Article

Gladiolus is a well-known bulbous plant producing impressive cut spikes. Hydrogen sulfide and nitric oxide are vital signaling molecules for the proper functioning of plant metabolism. Preharvest applications of these molecules to crops have gained a...

Bacteria associated with acute oak decline: Where did they come from? We know where they go (2023)
Journal Article

Acute oak decline is a high-impact disease causing necrotic lesions on the trunk, crown thinning and the eventual death of oak. Four bacterial species are associated with the lesions—Brenneria goodwinii, Gibbsiella quercinecans, Rahnella victoriana a...

H2S priming and plant abiotic stress tolerance (2023)
Book Chapter

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an emerging multitasking signaling molecule involved in plant responses to many abiotic stresses, promoting tolerance and growth under limiting conditions. There is experimental evidence of cross talk between H2S and nitric... Read More about H2S priming and plant abiotic stress tolerance.
