Understanding the Resilience of Restored Peatlands to New Climate Extremes
Project description. Peatlands are a critically important carbon store. despite covering only 3% of the Earth’s surface, they contain 30% of the global soil carbon stock. Read more
Heat shapes plant growth - unravelling crosstalk between temperature and hormone signalling pathways in the control of leaf development
Ambient temperature has profound effects on almost all aspects of plant development, from the onset of seed germination and seedling establishment to flower and fruit production, and thereby also impacts crop quality and yield. Read more
MSc by Research: Signaling pathways controlling epidermal development in cereals
Plants living on land face brutal threats from pests, dehydration and temperature. To survive and thrive, land plants evolved a waxy ‘cuticle’ and distinctive epidermal cells such as gas pores and defensive barbs. Read more
MSc by Research: Jasmonate control of barley development
From the earliest farmers to modern plant breeders, humans have continually modified the body plan of cereals, sometimes drastically, to generate higher grain yields. Read more
MSc by Research: The Generation Gap – understanding tissue communication during grain development
Cereal grain provides more calories than any other source to our diet, making grain production vital to food security. We study grain development in barley, a globally important cereal, and a powerful genetic model system. Read more
MSc by Research: Regulation of Architecture in Barley
Plant architecture, or body plan, plays a key role in determining grain yield of crop plants. However, we have little understanding of the molecular genetic basis of architecture in the temperate cereals such as barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), especially in comparison to the warm weather crops such as rice (Oryza sativa).

MSc by Research: Genetic interactions and novel genes that regulate lignin biosynthesis and straw quality in barley
Lignin is a major component of plant cell walls, and has a significant influence on the digestibility and uses of plant biomass. The lignin biosynthesis pathway has been one of the most intensively studied . Read more
Optimising marine image capture and analysis from autonomous underwater vehicles (MICA)
Apply Here. This is an exciting and unique opportunity to join a team of researchers developing and optimising automated (artificial intelligence (AI)-based) analysis of image and acoustic data as applied to seabed characterisation. Read more
