Cell elongation in Arabidopsis hypocotyls involves dynamic changes in cell wall thickness (2007)
Derbyshire, Paul, Findlay, Kim, McCann, Maureen C., Roberts, Keith
Field-emission scanning electron microscopy was used to measure wall thicknesses of different cell types in freeze-fractured hypocotyls of Arabidopsis thaliana. Measurements of uronic acid content,...

The alternation of eukaryotic life cycles between haploid and diploid phases is crucial for maintaining genetic diversity. In some organisms, the growth and development of haploid and diploid phases...
Purification of the Escherichia coli ammonium transporter AmtB reveals a trimeric stoichiometry.
Blakey, Dan, Leech, Andrew, Thomas, Gavin H, Coutts, Graham, Findlay, Kim, Merrick, Mike
The Amt family of high-affinity ammonium transporters is a family of integral membrane proteins that are found in archaea, bacteria, fungi, plants and animals. Furthermore, the family has recently...

WhiI, a regulator required for efficient sporulation septation in the aerial mycelium of Streptomyces coelicolor, resembles response regulators of bacterial two-component systems but lacks some...
The Accumulation of Oleosins Determines the Size of Seed Oilbodies in Arabidopsis[W][OA]
Siloto, Rodrigo M.P., Findlay, Kim, Lopez-Villalobos, Arturo, Yeung, Edward C., Nykiforuk, Cory L., Moloney, Maurice M.
We investigated the role of the oilbody proteins in developing and germinating Arabidopsis thaliana seeds. Seed oilbodies are simple organelles comprising a matrix of triacylglycerol surrounded by a...
