Developing Active Green Walls for Classrooms
This project is funded by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) and will pursue a multi-scale approach to establish the potential of active green walls to improve environmental quality in classrooms. Read more
QUADRAT DTP: Is nibbled, riddled and rotten good for health? Biodiverse stimulation of antiparasitic chemical production by plants and fungi
About the Project. Control of parasitic infections in grazing livestock is under severe strain from drug resistance and climate change, and new approaches are urgently needed. 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
PLANT SCIENCE CDT: Optimising root surface traits for sustainable plants and soils
Applications are invited for this exciting, fully-funded, 42 month PhD studentship at the University of Aberdeen. This project is part of the newly established Anthony & Margaret Johnston. Read more
MSc by Research: Targeted protein degradation in plants – developing “Green PROTACs” for functional analysis of lethal genes
Climate change is one of the biggest threats to global food production, leading to unpredictable weather patterns and geographical migration of pathogens. Read more
MSc by Research: Context is everything – how do plants organise receptor complexes to fight pathogens and mitigate environmental stress?
Climate change is one of the biggest threats to global food production, leading to unpredictable weather patterns and geographical migration of pathogens. Read more
Dynamic simulation of load-following power plants integrated with CO2 capture technologies
Flexible operation of fossil fuel power plants is becoming a hot topic in the energy generation sector due to the expected increase of intrinsically intermittent renewable technologies in the energy mix in the near future. Read more
How to respond to future elevated atmospheric [CO2] on selenium in plants: A comparative study among a selenium hyperaccumulator and staple crops?
Selenium (Se) is essential trace element for human health, especially for anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and immune effects. Till now, it is worldwide for Se deficiency in soils (40%) and populations (14%). Read more
Plants on the edge: examining the resilience of the vegetation to climate extremes
Project Background. Climate change is rapidly altering the growing conditions of terrestrial ecosystems, with widespread evidence of more frequent, more intense, and longer-duration droughts and heatwaves. Read more
Plants and people in Mesolithic Scotland: examining hunter-gatherer-plant interactions over 5 millennia.
The aim of the PhD project is to consider the role and importance of different plant food and fuel resources in hunter-gatherer subsistence in Mesolithic Scotland. Read more
Investigation of a Novel Regulator of Plant Yield and Fitness in Plants
Autophagy is an incredibly important and highly conserved process across eukaryotes and involves the regulated destruction of unnecessary or damaged components within the cell. Read more
Detection of Environmental Pollutants Produced by Petrochemical Plants
Common environmental pollutants produced by petrochemical plants include volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene. Read more
Re-engineering Golgi dynamics in plants – investigating the role of myosin receptors
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
