  Engineering a water retention system for plants based on novel polysaccharide sulfotransferases from red algae
University of Liverpool Institute of Integrative Biology
  Dr E A Yates
Application Deadline: 11 January 2019
Effective water use is a major challenge for agriculture. In is this project we will investigate new routes for water capture and retention by engineering soil microorganisms and plants to produce sulphated polysaccharides that are similar to those from red algae.
