EASTBIO - How cells find the right chromosomes: regulation of kinetochore-microtubule interactions for biorientation

University of Dundee
Faculty of Life Sciences
To maintain genetic integrity, eukaryotic cells must correctly segregate chromosomes to opposite spindle poles during mitosis. This process relies on the fine-tuned interaction between spindle microtubules (MTs) and the kinetochore. Read more

EASTBIO - Outer Limits – how plants make their skin

University of Dundee
Faculty of Life Sciences
Plants face challenging conditions on land from dehydration, pests, UV exposure and temperature extremes. To survive and thrive, land plants evolved a specialised surface, sealed by a waxy ‘cuticle’ and distinctive epidermal cells such as gas pores and defensive barbs. Read more

EASTBIO - How Plants Breathe in a Warming World: Temperature Control of Stomata Development

University of Dundee
Faculty of Life Sciences
Mean global temperatures have already risen by 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and could climb by another 4°C by 2100. Climate change is already affecting crop yields, and without effective mitigation, global yields of major crops could decline by as much as 36% by the end of the century. Read more
