China Scholarship Council: Feel the tension – how does S-acylation of OSCA ion channels regulate responses to environmental change in plants?
Plants, being sessile organisms, must sense and respond to environmental change, such as temperature or drought, without being able to move. Read more
Self-funded PhD- Exploring the Mechanisms of Bacterial Pathogen Entry and Colonization in Plants through Wounds
How bacterial pathogens enter and colonise plant via wounds?. Wounding of plants by hard wind, hail, heavy rain, sand storms, and frost is common in nature. Read more
MSc by Research: Feel the tension – how does S-acylation of OSCA ion channels regulate responses to environmental change in plants?
Plants, being sessile organisms, must sense and respond to environmental change, such as temperature or drought, without being able to move. Read more
Science Research Opportunities at the University of East Anglia
UEA is a top tier, research-led university committed to making a substantial impact on global challenges facing society for over 50 years. Read more
EastBio: Understanding immune protein complex assembly in plant cells
Research Group:
Institute of Immunology & Infection Research
Plants are known to have gene clusters where genes with similar functions tend to cluster together. In plants, intracellular immune receptors can detect specific pathogenic proteins secreted into the host cell, and this detection is crucial to trigger immune activation and subsequent disease resistance. Read more
Stress sensing and cell polarity regulation
Research Group:
Institute of Cell Biology
Cell organisation is critical for cell function and depends on spatial cell-polarity cues and landmarks, both internally and externally. Read more
EastBio - Vintage but not old: harnessing heritage genetics to improve adaptation to micronutrient deficiency in barley
This project is based at the James Hutton Institute (JHI), a global leader in cereal genetics and home of the International Barley Hub (IBH), a newly unveiled multimillion research facility. Read more
CR2025_47: Nutrient Impacts and Microbiochemical Controls on Carbon Storage in Forest Soils
Temperate forests and woodlands play a vital role in storing carbon, much of which is held in the soil. This natural carbon storage helps to offset the effects of climate change. Read more
MSc by Research: Bacillus subtilis intraspecies interactions
Bacillus subtilis is a Gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium that resides in intestinal tracts, soil, and on plant surfaces. B. subtilis, alongside other Bacillus species, presents a promising plant growth–promoting rhizobacteria. Read more
Function and assembly of plant cell wall components
the project investigates the structure function relationship of cell wall components, by engineering new cell wall structures. The properties of modified cell walls are tested for usage in dietary fiber and materials such as packaging. Read more
EastBio: Spatial regulation of mRNAs in filamentous fungi
Research Group:
Institute of Cell Biology
Filamentous fungi are critical for global nutrient cycling, and many filamentous fungi are important pathogens of plant crops, animals, and humans, affecting food security and economy, and animal and human health. Read more
Fungal immunity: how do NLR genes allow fungi to navigate the microbial world?
The ability of an organism to distinguish between self and non-self and to mount an effective response is the foundation of a functional immune system. Read more
