PhD Opportunity - Mechanics of multifactorial stress responses in plants – How do abiotic stress signals integrate with pathogen immunity?

University of Glasgow
College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Outline. Plants have the innate ability to respond to pathogens together with multiple abiotic stress challenges, but such responses often come at a cost to plant productivity and water use. Read more

Regulation of virulence and biofilm formation by quorum sensing and the "stress alarmone" ppGpp in gram-negative pathogenic bacteria.

University of Cambridge
Department of Biochemistry
We are investigating the complex interplay between cell-cell signalling (quorum sensing), microbial lifestyle (i.e., free-living planktonic cultures vs sessile biofilm communities), growth phase and virulence in gram-negative bacteria. Read more

Transcriptional, and translational regulation of immune receptor pairs in plants

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences
Plants have their own, effective defence mechanism to protect itself from pathogens. In plants, intracellular immune receptors called NLRs (Nucleotide-binding, Leucine-rich repeat receptors) can detect specific pathogenic proteins, or effectors secreted into the host cell. Read more
