Exploring aquaporin functions during changes in leaf water potential Open
Maintenance of optimal leaf tissue humidity is important for plant productivity and food security. Leaf humidity is influenced by soil and atmospheric water availability, by transpiration and by the coordination of water flux across cell m…

Developmental environments do not affect thermal physiological traits in reptiles: an experimental test and meta-analysis Open
On a global scale, organisms face significant challenges due to climate change and anthropogenic disturbance. In many ectotherms, developmental and physiological processes are sensitive to changes in temperature and resources. Developmenta…

Photosynthetic Gains in Super-Nodulating Mutants of Medicago truncatula under Elevated Atmospheric CO2 Conditions Open
Legumes are generally considered to be more responsive to elevated CO2 (eCO2) conditions due to the benefits provided by symbiotic nitrogen fixation. In response to high carbohydrate demand from nodules, legumes display autoregulation of n…

Developmental plasticity in thermal tolerance: Ontogenetic variation, persistence, and future directions Open
Understanding the factors affecting thermal tolerance is crucial for predicting the impact climate change will have on ectotherms. However, the role developmental plasticity plays in allowing populations to cope with thermal extremes is po…

Exploring the Plant Aquaporin Solute Transport Network: Functional characterisation of<i>Nicotiana tabacum</i>PIP, TIP and NIP isoforms Open
Aquaporins (AQPs) are multifunctional membrane proteins which have greatly diversified in number and function in the plant Kingdom. In plants, AQPs have evolved to comprise a dynamic solute transport network occurring in all tissues and fa…
