Gibberellin as a factor in floral regulatory networks
Hedden, Peter; Mutasa-Gottgens, Euphemia (2009)Gibberellins (GAs) function not only to promote the growth of plant organs, but also to induce phase transitions during development. Their involvement in flower initiation in long-day (LD) and biennial plants is well ... -
Identification of genes differentially expressed in sugar beet roots in response to challenge by polymyxa graminis
McGrann, Graham R.D.; Martin, Lydia D.; Asher, Michael J.C.; Adams, M.J.; Rush, C.M.; Mutasa-Gottgens, Euphemia (American Society of Sugar Beet Technologists, 2005)Representational difference analysis (RDA) was used to identify expressed sequence tags (ESTs) differentially expressed in sugar beet roots in response to challenge by the ‘non-host’ parasite Polymyxa graminis. Sequence ... -

Kingsnorth, Crawford S.; Mutasa-Gottgens, Euphemia; Chwarszczynska, D. M.; Asher, M. J. C. (American Society of Sugar Beet Technologists, 2003) -
The manipulation of gibberellin biosynthesis in sugar beet
Thomas, S.; Phillips, A. L.; Van Roggen, P. M.; Debenham, G. B.; Scott, R.; Mutasa-Gottgens, Euphemia (1998) -
Metagenomics approach for Polymyxa betae genome assembly enables comparative analysis towards deciphering the intracellular parasitic lifestyle of the plasmodiophorids
Decroës, Alain; Li, Jun-Min; Richardson, Lorna; Mutasa-Gottgens, Euphemia; Lima-Mendez, Gipsi; Mahillon, Mathieu; Bragard, Claude; Finn, Robert D.; Legrève, Anne (2022-01-01)Genomic knowledge of the tree of life is biased to specific groups of organisms. For example, only six full genomes are currently available in the rhizaria clade. Here, we have applied metagenomic techniques enabling the ... -
Modification of gibberellin signalling (metabolism & signal transduction) in sugar beet: analysis of potential targets for crop improvement
Mutasa-Gottgens, Euphemia; Qi, Aiming; Thomas, Stephen; Mathews, Ann; Phillips, Andrew; Hedden, Peter (2009-04)Sugar beet, Beta vulgaris spp. vulgaris is a biennial long day plant with an obligate requirement for vernalization (prolonged exposure to low temperature). As a spring crop in temperate European climates, it is vulnerable ... -
Molecular Biology : How can it help the sugar beet industry?
Asher, M. J. C.; Mutasa-Gottgens, Euphemia; Stevens, M.; Van Roggen, P. M.; Scott, R. (1996) -
Molecular organisation of an A mating type factor of the basidiomycete fungus Coprinus-cinereus
Mutasa-Gottgens, Euphemia; Tymon, A.M.; Gottgens, B.; Mellon, F.M.; Little, P.F.R.; Casselton, L.A. (1990-10)The Aα3 and Aβ3 genes, which together constitute the A42 mating type factor of Coprinus cinereus, were isolated from a cosmid genomic library by walking 50 kb, a map distance of 0.5 units, from the closely linked metabolic ... -
New Approach To Achieve Tissue-Specific Transgene Expression In Plants
Mutasa-Gottgens, Euphemia (2002) -
A new RNASeq-based reference transcriptome for sugar beet and its application in transcriptome-scale analysis of vernalization and gibberellin responses
Mutasa-Gottgens, Euphemia; Joshi, Anagha; Holmes, Helen F.; Hedden, Peter; Gottgens, Berthold (2012)Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris sp. vulgaris) crops account for about 30% of world sugar. Sugar yield is compromised by reproductive growth hence crops must remain vegetative until harvest. Prolonged exposure to cold temperature ... -
Progress towards the understanding and control of sugar beet rhizomania disease
McGrann, G.; Grimmer, M. K.; Mutasa-Gottgens, Euphemia; Stevens, M. (2009)Rhizomania is a soil-borne disease that occurs throughout the major sugar beet growing regions of the world, causing severe yield losses in the absence of effective control measures. It is caused by Beet necrotic yellow ... -
Protocol: Precision engineering of plant gene loci by homologous recombination cloning in Escherichia coli.
Roden, Laura C; Göttgens, Berthold; Mutasa-Gottgens, Euphemia (2005)Plant genome sequence data now provide opportunities to conduct molecular genetic studies at the level of the whole gene locus and above. Such studies will be greatly facilitated by adopting and developing further the new ... -
Reproductive growth in sugar beet : molecular dissection of the photoperiod pathway
Mutasa-Gottgens, Euphemia (2008) -
Rhizomania : The role of vector and virus resistnace
Asher, M. J. C.; Mutasa-Gottgens, Euphemia; Chwarszczynska, D. M. (1997) -
Screening for genetic elements involved in the non-host response of sugar beet to the plasmodiophorid cereal root parasite Polymyxa graminis by representational difference analysis
McGrann, Graham R.D.; Martin, Lydia D.; Kingsnorth, Crawford S.; Asher, Michael J.C.; Adams , Michael J.; Mutasa-Gottgens, Euphemia (2007-08)Representational difference analysis (RDA) was used to select and clone cDNA fragments of genes whose steady state transcription was upregulated in sugar beet challenged with the nonhost parasite Polymyxa graminis. In ... -
