Manipulating exudate composition from root apices shapes the microbiome throughout the root system

A Kawasaki, PG Dennis, C Forstner… - Plant …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
Certain soil microorganisms can improve plant growth, and practices that encourage their
proliferation around the roots can boost production and reduce reliance on agrochemicals. …

Silver nanoparticles entering soils via the wastewater–sludge–soil pathway pose low risk to plants but elevated Cl concentrations increase Ag bioavailability

…, PG Dennis, J Guo, C Forstner… - Environmental …, 2016 - ACS Publications
The widespread use of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) results in their movement into wastewater
treatment facilities and subsequently to agricultural soils via application of contaminated …

[HTML][HTML] The effects of glyphosate, glufosinate, paraquat and paraquat-diquat on soil microbial activity and bacterial, archaeal and nematode diversity

PG Dennis, T Kukulies, C Forstner, TG Orton… - Scientific reports, 2018 - nature.com
In this study, we investigated the effects of one-off applications of glyphosate, glufosinate,
paraquat, and paraquat-diquat on soil microbial diversity and function. All herbicides were …

Plasmacytoid dendritic cells protect from viral bronchiolitis and asthma through semaphorin 4a–mediated T reg expansion

…, K Diener, ML Everard, CC Blyth, C Forstner… - Journal of Experimental …, 2018 - rupress.org
Respiratory syncytial virus–bronchiolitis is a major independent risk factor for subsequent
asthma, but the causal mechanisms remain obscure. We identified that transient plasmacytoid …

Effects of graphene oxide and graphite on soil bacterial and fungal diversity

C Forstner, TG Orton, A Skarshewski, P Wang… - Science of the total …, 2019 - Elsevier
Graphene oxide (GO) is an oxidized form of graphene that is relatively cheap and easy to
produce. This has heralded its widespread use in a range of industries, with its likelihood of …

Wastewater treatment processing of silver nanoparticles strongly influences their effects on soil microbial diversity

C Forstner, TG Orton, P Wang… - Environmental …, 2020 - ACS Publications
Silver nanoparticles (NPs) are entering soils with biosolids via wastewater treatment, and on-route,
undergo changes (eg, sulfidation) that alter silver bioavailability and toxicity. While …

Silver sulfide nanoparticles reduce nitrous oxide emissions by inhibiting denitrification in the earthworm gut

J Wu, Y Bai, B Lu, W Zhao, C Forstner… - Environmental …, 2020 - ACS Publications
The accumulation of Ag 2 S in agricultural soil via application of Ag-containing sludge potentially
affects the functioning of soil microorganisms and earthworms (EWs) due to the strong …

[HTML][HTML] The microbiomes on the roots of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and rice (Oryza sativa L.) exhibit significant differences in structure between root types and along …

A Kawasaki, PG Dennis, C Forstner… - Functional Plant …, 2021 - CSIRO Publishing
There is increasing interest in understanding how the microbial communities on roots can be
manipulated to improve plant productivity. Root systems are not homogeneous organs but …

Effects of carbon nanotubes and derivatives of graphene oxide on soil bacterial diversity

C Forstner, TG Orton, P Wang, PM Kopittke… - Science of the total …, 2019 - Elsevier
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and ammonia-functionalized
graphene oxide (aGO), are nanomaterials with useful properties, such as high tensile strength, …

Characterization of silicon drift detectors with electrons for the TRISTAN project

…, M Descher, D Fink, C Fiorini, C Forstner… - Journal of Physics G …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
Sterile neutrinos are a minimal extension of the standard model of particle physics. A
promising model-independent way to search for sterile neutrinos is via high-precision β-…
