Climate-resilient architectural and building design: learning from the past
University of Reading School of the Built Environment
Our climate is changing, and extreme events are becoming more frequent. For example, the UK Climate Projections found that in the UK we will see hotter drier summers and wetter windier winters, and heatwave days in the UK become more frequent and last longer. Read more

Multicellular Cell Differentiation Model: The control of root hair patterning in Aspergillus thaliana
University of Liverpool Institute of Integrative Biology
Plants absorb water and nutrients from the soil through hairs that grow along their roots. As such, being able to manipulate root hair numbers may be advantageous to the development of crops more resistant to drought and nutrient deficient soils. Read more

Photoreceptor regulation of plant development
University of Sheffield Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology
Plant growth and development is highly dependent on the light environment. Light provides energy to drive photosynthesis but light quality and quantity is also perceived by photoreceptors, which signal to regulate responses enabling plants to adapt to their environment. Read more
 Supervisor: Dr S Casson
