NERC E4 Understanding how plant-microbe interactions affect disease prevalence under regenerative agriculture.

  Research Group: Institute of Ecology & Evolution
Summary. The PhD goal is to identify and characterize how the community ecology of soil microbiomes and agricultural practices enhance tolerance and resistance to pathogens in barley, at the molecular level. Read more

Plant Nematology

Introduction. The Plant Nematology Laboratory is an internationally recognised group working to understand the interactions between parasitic nematodes and their plant hosts. . Read more

QUADRAT DTP: Microbiome contribution to the evolution of the plant-pollinator specialisation network

This fully funded, 42-month PhD project is part of the QUADRAT Doctoral Training Partnership. This project connects a vast spectrum of biological organisation, spanning the ecological and evolutionary synergies among microbes, animal pollinators and plants. Read more

Plant mobile signals for long-lasting fruit protection

Rationale. Fruit decay due to postharvest diseases can claim up to 50% of total crop production. Pesticides can control these diseases but their use postharvest is extremely limited due to toxicity. Read more

AI-powered dynamic phenotyping of plant-parasitic nematodes (Ref: CTP-SAI-065)

Globally, plant parasitic nematodes pose a pervasive, intractable threat to crop production. In the field, the major routes to control are either genetics or chemistry - but increasingly both are used in conjunction in an integrated pest management approach. Read more

White Rose BBSRC DTP: Shaping Plant Stress Memories

Although plants lack a cellular immune system and central nervous system, they can retain memory of previously encountered stresses, which improves their ability to resist recurrent episodes of the same stress. Read more
