How does the genetic basis of adaptation differ depending on the reproductive mode?

  Research Group: Institute of Ecology and Evolution
Being sessile, plants need to adapt to their local environment to persist. Understanding the genetic basis of plant adaptation is especially important when determining how species respond to potentially damaging global and climatic changes. Read more

NWD DLA programme: Unlocking the Acidic Proteome: Development and Application of Negative-Ion Proteomics for Cell Signalling and Extracellular Protein Biology

Proteins are the molecular machines that control virtually every process in living cells. Their activity is regulated by small chemical modifications, known as post-translational modifications (PTMs), which act as molecular switches to control cellular communication, response to environmental cues and protein function.
