BBSCR ICase project: What makes a good female? Trait characterization of female fertility traits for hybrid development in wheat

University of Nottingham
School of Biosciences

Prof Z A Wilson, Dr J Fernandez

Application Deadline: 4 April 2019

Successful reproduction is critical to seed set and crop yields. Self-fertilisation typically occurs in cereals, however hybrids, the products of cross-fertilisation, tend to more resilient and have up to 20% increased yield potential compared to inbred equivalents.

Neural basis underlying mating decisions in fruit flies

University of Birmingham
School of Biosciences

Dr C Rezaval

Applications accepted all year round

Mate choice is an essential behavioural process with profound consequences in evolution. How do animals choose with whom to mate? How do they evaluate the features of a potential mate to maximise their reproductive success?.
