Turner S, Senaratna T, Touchell D, Bunn E, Dixon K and Tan B (2001) Stereochemical arrangement of hydroxyl groups in sugar and polyalcohol molecules as an important factor in effective cryopreservation Plant Science 160: 489-497. Innovative study that provides evidence for the variable effectiveness of different polyalcohols and sugars in facilitating successful cryopreservation in plant tissues for conservation purposes. Turner SR, Krauss SL, Bunn E, Senaratna T, Dixon KW, Tan B and Touchell D (2001) Genetic fidelity and viability of Anigozanthos viridis following tissue culture, cold storage and cryopreservation. Plant Science 161: 1099-1106. First paper describing genetic impacts on germplasm maintained under different ex situ conditions using AFLP approaches. No genetic changes were noted across treatments. Turner SR, Senaratna T, Bunn E, Tan B, Dixon KW and Touchell DH (2001) Cryopreservation of shoot tips from six endangered Australian species using a modified vitrification protocol. Annals of Botany 87: 371-378. First paper describing development and optimization of a cryogenic protocol for six endangered Australian species. Turner SR, Merritt DJ, Baskin CC, Dixon KW and Baskin JM (2005) Physical dormancy in seeds of six genera of Australian Rhamnaceae. Seed Science Research 15: 51-58. Physical dormancy is poorly understood with a number of misconceptions. Results found Australian Rhamnaceae are physically dormant leading to improved propagation outcomes. Merritt DJ, Kristiansen M, Flematti G, Turner SR, Ghisalberti EL, Trengove RD and Dixon KW (2006) Effects of a butenolide present in smoke on light-mediated germination of Australian Asteraceae. Seed Science Research 16: 29-35. First paper reporting the link between seed photoreceptivity and karrikinolide. Link strengthened the evidence for karrikinolide as the predominant smoke germination stimulant. Turner SR, Merritt DJ, Ridley EC, Commander LE, Baskin JM, Baskin CC and Dixon KW (2006) Ecophysiology of seed dormancy in the Australian endemic species Acanthocarpus preissii (Dasypogonaceae). Annals of Botany 98: 1137-1144. Paper describes a previously unreported process (warm stratification) driving dormancy loss in native plants and provides evidence to when this occurs in situ. Turner SR, Pearce B, Rokich DP, Dunn RR, Merritt DJ, Majer JD and Dixon KW (2006) Influence of Polymer Seed Coatings, Soil Raking, and Time of Sowing on Seedling Performance in Post Mining Restoration. Restoration Ecology 14: 267-277. Effectiveness of synthetic seed coatings in combination with sowing time and incorporation into the soil is explored and reported for the first time. Merritt DJ, Turner SR, Clarke S and Dixon KW (2007) Seed dormancy and germination stimulation syndromes for Australian temperate species. Australian Journal of Botany 55: 336-344. Invited review that was first to highlight role of smoke as a germination stimulant, rather than an agent for overcoming innate seed dormancy. Turner SR, Cook A, Baskin JM, Baskin CC, Tuckett RE and Dixon KW (2009) Identification and characterization of the water gap in the physically-dormant seeds of Dodonaea petiolaris: a first report for Sapindaceae Annals of Botany 104: 833-844. First paper to describe structure that regulates imbibition in physically dormant Sapindaceae seeds, one of only 18-plant families in which physical dormancy is known. Bradshaw SD, Dixon KW, Hopper SD, Lambers H and Turner SR (2011) Little evidence for fire-adapted plant traits in mediterranean climate regions. Trends in Plant Science 16: 69-76. Paper looks at the contentious issue of fire ecology and provides an alternative interpretation to plant fire responses reflective of exaptation rather than adaptation.
