Jasmonate controls leaf growth by repressing cell proliferation and the onset of endoreduplication while maintaining a potential stand-by mode
Sandra Noir,Moritz Bömer,Naoki Takahashi,Takashi Ishida,Tjir-Li Tsui,Virginia Balbi,Hugh P. Shanahan,Keiko Sugimoto,Alessandra Devoto +8 more
TL;DR: The effects of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) on leaf growth regulation were investigated in Arabidopsis mutants altered in JA synthesis and perception, allene oxide synthase and coi1-16B (for coronatine insensitive1), and it is shown that MeJA inhibits leaf growth through the JA receptor COI1 by reducing both cell number and size.

Rapid and Specific Detection of Yam Mosaic Virus by Reverse-Transcription Recombinase Polymerase Amplification
TL;DR: A novel assay for specific YMV detection is described that is based on isothermal reverse transcription-recombinase polymerase amplification (RT-exoRPA) that has been shown to be reproducible and able to detect as little as 14 pg/μl of purified RNA obtained from an YMMV-infected plant, a sensitivity equivalent to that obtained with the reverse transcript-polymerase chain reaction ( RT-PCR) in current general use.

Rapid detection of potyviruses from crude plant extracts.
Gonçalo Silva,Joshua O. Oyekanmi,Chukwuemeka K. Nkere,Chukwuemeka K. Nkere,Moritz Bömer,P. Lava Kumar,Susan Seal +6 more
TL;DR: The developed method, named ‘Direct RT-RPA’, detects each target virus directly from plant leaf extracts prepared with a simple and inexpensive extraction method avoiding laborious extraction of high-quality RNA.

Tissue culture and next-generation sequencing: A combined approach for detecting yam (Dioscorea spp.) viruses.
Moritz Bömer,Ajith I. Rathnayake,Paul Visendi,Steven O. Sewe,Juan Paolo A. Sicat,Gonçalo Silva,P. Lava Kumar,Susan Seal +7 more
TL;DR: Next-generation sequencing is evaluated for virus detection following yam propagation using a robust tissue culture methodology and the genomes of novel isolates of already characterised viral species of the genera Badnavirus and Potyvirus are detected.

COI1-dependent jasmonate signalling affects growth, metabolite production and cell wall protein composition in arabidopsis.
Moritz Bömer,José Antonio O’Brien,Imma Pérez-Salamó,Jovaras Krasauskas,Paul Finch,Andrea Briones,Arsalan Daudi,Puneet Souda,Tjir-Li Tsui,Julian P. Whitelegge,G. Paul Bolwell,Alessandra Devoto +11 more
TL;DR: This study contributes to the understanding of the regulation of growth and the production of metabolic resources by JAs and COI1, and will have important implications in dissecting the complex relationships between hormonal and cell wall signalling in plants.
