Journal ArticleDOI
Fresh fruit and vegetables as vehicles for the transmission of human pathogens
Cedric N. Berger,Samir V. Sodha,Robert K. Shaw,Patricia M. Griffin,David Pink,Paul Hand,Gad Frankel +6 more
TL;DR: A better understanding of plant, microbiological, environmental, processing and food handling factors that facilitate contamination will allow development of evidence-based policies, procedures and technologies aimed at reducing the risk of contamination of fresh produce.
Journal ArticleDOI
The molecular analysis of leaf senescence--a genomics approach.
Vicky Buchanan-Wollaston,Simon Earl,Elizabeth Harrison,Evy Mathas,Saeid Navabpour,Tania Page,David Pink +6 more
TL;DR: The current understanding of the mechanisms by which plants control senescence and the processes that are involved is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phyllosphere microbiology with special reference to diversity and plant genotype
TL;DR: There is significant recent evidence that plant genotype can play a major role in determining the structure of phyllosphere microbial communities, which is influenced by numerous environmental factors in addition to leaf physico‐chemical properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of novel assays for lignin degradation: comparative analysis of bacterial and fungal lignin degraders
Mark Ahmad,Charles R. Taylor,David Pink,Kerry S. Burton,Daniel C. Eastwood,Gary D. Bending,Timothy D. H. Bugg +6 more
TL;DR: Two spectrophotometric assays have been developed to monitor breakdown of the lignin component of plant lignocellulose: a continuous fluorescent assay involving fluorescently modified lign in, and a UV-vis assay involving chemically nitrated lignIn.
Journal ArticleDOI
Both Leaf Properties and Microbe-Microbe Interactions Influence Within-Species Variation in Bacterial Population Diversity and Structure in the Lettuce (Lactuca Species) Phyllosphere
TL;DR: It is concluded that both leaf surface properties and microbial interactions are important in determining the structure and diversity of the phyllosphere bacterial community.
