Nanobody technology: feeding target authentication and mitigation strategies in crop protection.
Research Group:
Neurosciences
A 4-year BBSRC/UKRI and industry funded PhD focussed on the genetic and wider experimental tractability of the free-living C.elegans to develop nanobody technology to mitigate damaging agricultural effects of plant parasitic nematodes. Read more
Responding to the cry-for-help: Exploiting disease suppressive microbes and signalling to control soil-borne crop disease
Plants and microbes have co-evolved over millions of years. Root exudates play an important role in this interaction by influencing the soil microbiome, especially the rhizobiome (those microbes that are closely associated with roots). Read more
Engineering bacterial biofilms to protect plants against fungal pathogens
Are you interested in using microbiology and microscopy to visualise plant-microbe interactions?. Bacterial biocontrol agents can provide protection against fungal plant pathogens. Read more
PLANT SCIENCE CDT: Mechanistic understanding of plant-microbe interaction to solve the nitrogen use efficiency dilemma
Applications are invited for this exciting, fully-funded, 42 month PhD studentship at the University of Aberdeen. This project is part of the newly established Anthony & Margaret Johnston. Read more
