UKRI BBSRC NEEDL DLA: Unravelling the Ubiquitination Code: Connecting Phosphate Signalling and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis

Durham University
BBSRC NEEDL DLA Partnership
Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient that is frequently limiting for plant growth. Plants respond to low phosphate by launching sophisticated phosphate-starvation responses to call for beneficial soil fungi, arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM). Read more

UKRI BBSRC NEEDL DLA: Deciphering how ant-farmed plants break the rules of nitrogen uptake

Durham University
BBSRC NEEDL DLA Partnership
Every year we spread more nitrogen fertiliser on fields than crops can use. Over half washes into rivers or escapes to the atmosphere, and fixing that is one of the hardest problems in agriculture. Read more

UKRI BBSRC NEEDL DLA: A mechanism for CO2 sensing: Epigenetic regulation of the primary cilium

Durham University
BBSRC NEEDL DLA Partnership
This project will determine how carbon dioxide acts as an epigenetic signal to regulate primary cilium structure and signalling, revealing a previously unrecognised mechanism linking the cellular environment to mammalian cell behaviour. Read more

UKRI BBSRC NEEDL DLA: Genetic and environmental factors controlling barley development

Durham University
BBSRC NEEDL DLA Partnership
CASE Project. Selection of plants for increases in grain size and number is essential to feed the growing world population. These plants will also require increases in stem strength to support the increased weight of the inflorescence, particularly in windy conditions and changes to water availability. Read more
