EASTBIO: Exploring the role of extracellular vesicles in insect pest saliva
Sap-feeding insect pests cause significant economical damage to crops globally. While probing and feeding these insects secrete saliva inside their hosts which contains a wide range of molecules, including proteins, RNA, and metabolites. Read more
Structural studies of DNA double-strand break repair in plants
Our research aims to understand and manipulate plant DNA-repair pathways. This project elucidates the molecular mechanism of non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) for double-strand break (DSB) repair in Arabidopsis. Read more
China Scholarship Council: Exploring the role of extracellular vesicles in insect pest saliva
Sap-feeding insect pests cause significant economical damage to crops globally. While probing and feeding these insects secrete saliva inside their hosts which contains a wide range of molecules, including proteins, RNA, and metabolites. Read more
Iron-ing out a role for the Endoplasmic Reticulum in plant metal homeostasis
Iron is an essential nutrient for almost all life on earth. As a result, organisms have evolved sophisticated ways of regulating iron sensing, uptake, and transport, to ensure an optimal supply of this metal is maintained. Read more
York YBDTP project: Chemical warfare in the rhizosphere: unpicking the defensive role of plant root exudates against the bacterial pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum
Lead supervisor. Dr Andrea Harper. Co-supervisors. Dr Benjamin Lichman and Dr Ian Lidbury, (University of Sheffield). The student will be registered with the Department of Biology (University of York). Read more
Chemical warfare in the rhizosphere: unpicking the defensive role of plant root exudates against the bacterial pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum
Background. R. solanacearum is a devastating bacterial plant pathogen which causes potato brown rot and bacterial wilt diseases. It has a global distribution, wide host range, and no effective control methods. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Molecular mechanics of clustering and gating in plant ion channels
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Outline & aim. The organisation of ion channels in eukaryotic membranes is intimately connected with their activity, but the mechanics of the connections are, in general, poorly understood. Read more
