Bumblebee (Hymenoptera: Apidae) sample storage for a posteriori molecular studies: Interactions between sample storage and DNA-extraction techniques.
(Institute of Entomology, 2013)
A global decline in pollinator abundance and diversity has demanded increased research attention to the ecology and genetics of bumblebees. However, as progressively more restrictions are placed on sampling for insects, ...
Crop establishment practices are a driver of the plant microbiota in winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus)
(Frontiers Media, 2017)
Gaining a greater understanding of the plant microbiota and its interactions with its host plant heralds a new era of scientific discovery in agriculture. Different agricultural management practices influence soil microbial ...
Combining remote temperature sensing with in-situ sensing to track marine/freshwater mixing dynamics.
(MDPI, 2016)
The ability to track the dynamics of processes in natural water bodies on a global scale, and at a resolution that enables highly localised behaviour to be visualized, is an ideal scenario for understanding how local events ...
Cadmium hyperaccumulation and translocation in Impatiens glandulifera: From foe to friend?
(MDPI AG, 2019)
The use of phytoremediation to sustainably recover areas contaminated by toxic heavy metals such as cadmium (Cd) has been made feasible since the discovery of hyperaccumulator plants. This study examines the potential of ...
Profiling antibiotic resistance and electrotransformation potential of Ensifer adhaerens OV14; a non-Agrobacterium species capable of efficient rates of plant transformation.
(Oxford University Press, 2015)
Ensifer adhaerens OV14 underpins the successful crop transformation protocol termed Ensifer-mediated transformation but issues exist in regard to addressing the pleomorphic tendency of the bacterium in suboptimal conditions, ...
From outsider to insider: The effect of engaging in action research on developing and assessing critical writing and subject knowledge in a second-year microbiology module
(All Ireland Society for Higher Education (AISHE), 2017)
Gene editing in the context of an increasingly complex genome
(BioMed Central, 2018)
The reporting of the first draft of the human genome in 2000 brought with it much hope for the future in what was felt as a paradigm shift toward improved health outcomes. Indeed, we have now mapped the majority of variation ...
Genome sequence reveals that Pseudomonas fluorescens F113 possesses a large and diverse array of systems for rhizosphere function and host interaction
(BioMed Central, 2013)
Background: Pseudomonas fluorescens F113 is a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR) isolated from the
sugar-beet rhizosphere. This bacterium has been extensively studied as a model strain for genetic regulation ...
Using the biocheck.ugent™ scoring tool in Irish farrow-to-finish pig farms: assessing biosecurity and its relation to productive performance
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2019-03-01)
Background
Biosecurity is one of the main factors affecting disease occurrence and antimicrobial use, and it is associated with performance in pig production. However, the importance of specific measures could vary depending ...
Nutrient reduction capacity of a novel bioswale system for the reduction of nutrients from farmyard dirty water
(Institute of Technology, Carlow, 2021)
The protection of clean water is of paramount importance to both humans and the aquatic environment. The aquatic environment in Ireland is subjected to impacts from many different human activities and pressures. Pollution ...
