Nitric oxide, stomatal closure, and abiotic stress (2008)
Journal Article

Various data indicate that nitric oxide (NO) is an endogenous signal in plants that mediates responses to several stimuli. Experimental evidence in support of such signalling roles for NO has been obtained via the application of NO, usually in the fo... Read More about Nitric oxide, stomatal closure, and abiotic stress.

Nitric oxide signalling in plants (2008)
Journal Article

As with all organisms, plants must respond to a plethora of external environmental cues. Individual plant cells must also perceive and respond to a wide range of internal signals. It is now well-accepted that nitric oxide (NO) is a component of the r... Read More about Nitric oxide signalling in plants.

Influencing cognitive strategy by manipulating information access (2007)
Journal Article

Recent developments in technology have meant that operators of complex systems, such as those found in the modern aircraft cockpit, now have access to an unprecedented volume of information. Significant focus within computer science and engineering h... Read More about Influencing cognitive strategy by manipulating information access.

Harder to access, better performance? The effects of information access cost on strategy and performance (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Whilst much effort is being invested into the design of human-computer interfaces that provide users with access to large amounts of information, there is less understanding of how human performance can be optimized in such interaction-driven context...

Interrupting problem solving: Colour cues facilitate task resumption (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Participants were unexpectedly interrupted (6 out of 25 trials) during the execution phase of 4-disc Tower of Hanoi (ToH) problems and required to complete a different 3-disc ToH before resuming the original task. The goal activation model (Altmann &... Read More about Interrupting problem solving: Colour cues facilitate task resumption.

Coaching and leadership behaviours of instructors in military training: A critical incident study (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Objectives:
The aim of this study was to investigate dimensions of coaching and leadership relevant to instructors engaged in military training across the three Services of the Armed Forces. Three specific objectives were: to devise a framework of... Read More about Coaching and leadership behaviours of instructors in military training: A critical incident study.

Fortune favors the prepared mind : Encoding of contextual cues following warning of an interruption (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Three experiments introduced interruptions during the execution phase of nine-move Tower of Hanoi problems and investigated how prior warning of interruption may reduce the time cost at resumption. A visual alert (a blinking dot) presented 2 sec befo... Read More about Fortune favors the prepared mind : Encoding of contextual cues following warning of an interruption.

Biofilm formation and cellulose expression among diverse environmental Pseudomonas isolates (2006)
Journal Article

The ability to form biofilms is seen as an increasingly important colonization strategy among both pathogenic and environmental bacteria. A survey of 185 plant-associated, phytopathogenic, soil and river Pseudomonas isolates resulted in 76% producing...

Arthropod abundance, canopy structure, and microclimate in a Bornean lowland tropical rain forest (2006)
Journal Article

This study applies a novel, vertically stratified fogging protocol to document arthropod abundance, density, and biomass across a vertical gradient in a primary, lowland dipterocarp forest canopy in Borneo. We fogged arthropods at 5 m vertical interv... Read More about Arthropod abundance, canopy structure, and microclimate in a Bornean lowland tropical rain forest.

Ethylene-induced stomatal closure in Arabidopsis occurs via AtrbohF-mediated hydrogen peroxide synthesis (2006)
Journal Article

Ethylene is a plant hormone that regulates many aspects of growth and development. Despite the well-known association between ethylene and stress signalling, its effects on stomatal movements are largely unexplored. Here, genetic and physiological da...

ABA-induced NO generation and stomatal closure in Arabidopsis are dependent on H2O2 synthesis (2006)
Journal Article

Nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) are key signalling molecules produced in response to various stimuli and involved in a diverse range of plant signal transduction processes. Nitric oxide and H 2O2 have been identified as essential compo... Read More about ABA-induced NO generation and stomatal closure in Arabidopsis are dependent on H2O2 synthesis.

Exposure to host resistance mechanisms drives evolution of bacterial virulence in plants (2005)
Journal Article

Bacterial pathogenicity to plants and animals has evolved through an arms race of attack and defense. Key players are bacterial effector proteins, which are delivered through the type III secretion system and suppress basal defenses [1]. In plants, v...

Proteomic identification of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase as an inhibitory target of hydrogen peroxide in Arabidopsis (2005)
Journal Article

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is now recognised as a key signalling molecule in eukaryotes. In plants, H2O2 is involved in regulating stomatal closure, gravitropic responses, gene expression and programmed cell death. Although several kinases, such as oxi...

Doubling the estimate of invertebrate biomass in a rainforest canopy (2004)
Journal Article

Forest canopies represent the functional interface between 90% of the Earth's terrestrial biomass and the atmosphere and include some of the most threatened of all terrestrial ecosystems. However, we lack even a basic understanding of how the biomass... Read More about Doubling the estimate of invertebrate biomass in a rainforest canopy.
