Residual ground-water levels of the neonicotinoid thiacloprid perturb chemosensing of Caenorhabditis elegans (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017, The Author(s). This study investigated the neurological effects of residual ground-water levels of thiaclopridon the non-target organism Caenorhabditis elegans. Nematodes treated with thiacloprid showed a dose-dependent and significantly incr...

GM risk assessment: Pollen carriage from Brassica napus to B. rapa varies widely between pollinators (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 Gesellschaft für Ökologie Characterizing insect pollen carriage between closely related plant species is especially challenging where source species possess morphologically identical pollen and share many pollinators in common. Here, we use an... Read More about GM risk assessment: Pollen carriage from Brassica napus to B. rapa varies widely between pollinators.

Rapid identification of bacteria associated with Acute Oak Decline by high-resolution melt analysis (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 The Society for Applied Microbiology Two Gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae, Gibbsiella quercinecans and Brenneria goodwinii, are frequently isolated from oak suffering from Acute Oak Decline. These two species are difficult to identify based on... Read More about Rapid identification of bacteria associated with Acute Oak Decline by high-resolution melt analysis.

A novel biosensor for prediction of global hypomethylation by decitabine and azacytadine in leukaemic cells (2015)
Journal Article

Decitabine (DAC) and azacytidine (AZA) are cytidine ana- logues and hypomethylating agents used in the manage- ment of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), where the main goal is to prevent transformation to acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), wh...

Using DNA metabarcoding to identify the floral composition of honey: A new tool for investigating honey bee foraging preferences (2015)
Journal Article

Copyright © 2015 Hawkins et al. Identifying the floral composition of honey provides a method for investigating the plants that honey bees visit. We compared melissopalynology, where pollen grains retrieved from honey are identified morphologically,...

Environmental niche variation and evolutionary diversification of the Brachypodium distachyon grass complex species in their native circum-mediterranean range (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 Botanical Society of America. PREMISE OF THE STUDY: We conducted environmental niche modeling (ENM) of the Brachypodium distachyon s.l. complex, a model group of two diploid annual grasses (B. distachyon, B. stacei) and their derived allotetra...

High-resolution melt and morphological analyses of mealybugs (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) from cacao: Tools for the control of Cacao swollen shoot virus spread (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 Society of Chemical Industry. BACKGROUND: Mealybugs (Hemiptera: Coccoidea: Pseudococcidae) are key vectors of badnaviruses, including Cacao swollen shoot virus (CSSV), the most damaging virus affecting cacao (Theobroma cacao L.). The effective... Read More about High-resolution melt and morphological analyses of mealybugs (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) from cacao: Tools for the control of Cacao swollen shoot virus spread.

Assessing the value of imperfect biocontainment nationally: Rapeseed in the United Kingdom as an exemplar (2014)
Journal Article

© 2014 New Phytologist Trust. Paternal biocontainment methods (PBMs) act by preventing pollen-mediated transgene flow. They are compromised by transgene escape via the crop-maternal line. We therefore assess the efficacy of PBMs for transgenic rapese... Read More about Assessing the value of imperfect biocontainment nationally: Rapeseed in the United Kingdom as an exemplar.

Investigation on Cacao swollen shoot virus (CSSV) pollen transmission through cross-pollination (2013)
Journal Article

DNA- and RNA-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) systems were used with Cacao swollen shoot virus (CSSV) primers designed from conserved regions of the six published genomic sequences of CSSV to investigate whether the virus is transmissible from i...
