UKRI BBSRC NEEDL DLA: Unravelling the Ubiquitination Code: Connecting Phosphate Signalling and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis

Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient that is frequently limiting for plant growth. Plants respond to low phosphate by launching sophisticated phosphate-starvation responses to call for beneficial soil fungi, arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM). Read more

UKRI BBSRC NEEDL DLA: Deciphering how ant-farmed plants break the rules of nitrogen uptake

Every year we spread more nitrogen fertiliser on fields than crops can use. Over half washes into rivers or escapes to the atmosphere, and fixing that is one of the hardest problems in agriculture. Read more
