Silicon supplementation and jasmonate activation synergistically increase phenolic defences against a legume herbivore

This study shows that silicon and jasmonate together boost phenolic defenses in lucerne against herbivores, enhancing plant resistance.

Peptide ligands for the affinity purification of adeno-associated viruses from HEK 293 cell lysates

The paper develops peptide-based adsorbents to purify AAV2 from HEK 293 cell lysates, achieving high recovery and reduced host proteins with comparable transduction activity to commercial methods.

A new genetic method for diet determination from faeces that provides species level resolution in the koala

This paper develops a SNP-based method using DArTseq to determine koala diet from faeces with species-level resolution, revealing additional food tree species.

Geographic patterns of koala retrovirus genetic diversity, endogenization and subtype distributions

The paper analyzes KoRV genetic diversity and endogenization patterns across koala populations, revealing geographic differences in subtype distribution and endogenous sequences.

Plant structural and nutritional responses to drought differ among common pasture species

This study examines how nine pasture species respond to drought by analyzing biomass, dead material, and nutritional composition changes across multiple harvests.

Near-infrared spectroscopy calibration strategies to predict multiple nutritional parameters of pasture species from different functional groups

This study evaluates NIRS calibration strategies for predicting nutritional parameters of pasture species under different climate conditions.

Drought is a stronger driver of plant morphology and nutritional composition than warming in two common pasture species

This study compares the effects of drought and warming on two pasture species, finding drought has a stronger negative impact on biomass, morphology, and nutritional quality than warming.

Pastures and Climate Extremes: Impacts of cool season warming and drought on the productivity of key pasture species in a field experiment

This study examines the effects of drought and warming on pasture productivity in a field experiment, finding significant yield reductions and highlighting the negative impacts of climate extremes on forage availability.

The fate of carbon in a mature forest under carbon dioxide enrichment

This study tracks carbon fate in a mature forest under CO2 enrichment, finding that increased carbon uptake does not lead to greater sequestration, as most extra carbon is released via respiration.
