The growing global population requires the development of novel strategies to sustainably increase food production. Organelle movement is dynamic and linked to changes in cell size, plant biomass and in response to factors which affect food production such as pathogens (Perico and Sparkes, New Phytol. Read more
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
New Zealand, in common with many other countries, has a problem with invasive plant species which can colonize areas of the land, displacing endemic and indigenous flora and destroying the habitat of endemic and indigenous fauna. Read more
