Journal Article
Hu, Y., Zhi, L., Li, P., T. Hancock, J. T., & Hu, X. (2022). The role of Salicylic acid signal in plant growth, development and abiotic stress. Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, 91(12), 2591-2605. https://doi.org/10.32604/PHYTON.2022.023733

In nature, plants are constantly affected by adverse conditions. Unlike animals, plants can resist these adverse stresses only by insisting on their original positions. Stress can be divided into biological stress and abiotic stress, abiotic stress d... Read More about The role of Salicylic acid signal in plant growth, development and abiotic stress.

Presentation / Conference
McEwen, L., Webber, A., Gorell Barnes, L., Gopinath, D., Hobbs, L., Deave, T., …Fogg Rogers, L. (2022, December). Voices in a Pandemic (VIP-CLEAR): Using deep mapping to explore children’s changing perceptions and experiences during COVID-19 ‘recovery’. Presented at UK Alliance for Disaster Research Annual Conference 2022, Edinburgh Climate Change Institute (ECCI)

Children are unheard voices within the COVID-19 pandemic. We are unaware how intersections of complex factors in specific social settings have impacted their perceptions and are determining what ‘recovery’ means. ‘Voices in a Pandemic: Children’s Loc...
