Strategies used for decolonising the conservation curriculum: A systematic review (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Decolonisation is the process of undoing the effects of colonialism and the conservation industry, along with university institutions, have identified a need for decolonisation. However, with a lack of clarity on how to decolonise, many in the conser... Read More about Strategies used for decolonising the conservation curriculum: A systematic review.

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...

Promoting access to haemostasis testing in resource-scarce and emergency settings using paper-based lateral flow diagnostic screening assays for coagulation disorders (2023)
Thesis

Haemostatic disorders cause excessive bleeding and clotting and result in high morbidity and mortality worldwide, but especially in low-income areas which often lack suitable facilities and expertise for affordable diagnosis and treatment. Simple and... Read More about Promoting access to haemostasis testing in resource-scarce and emergency settings using paper-based lateral flow diagnostic screening assays for coagulation disorders.

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.

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.
