We have 13 Agricultural Sciences (plant biochemistry) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
PhD Opportunity - Understanding how phototropin blue light receptor kinase signal from the plant plasma membrane
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Project description. The ability to enhance photosynthetic capacity remains a recognised bottleneck to improving plant productivity. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Mechanics of multifactorial stress responses in plants – How do abiotic stress signals integrate with pathogen immunity?
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Outline. Plants have the innate ability to respond to pathogens together with multiple abiotic stress challenges, but such responses often come at a cost to plant productivity and water use. Read more
Funded PhD - Wound Entry and Vascular Immunity: How Bacterial Plant Pathogens Enter and Colonise Plants Through Wounds
Wounding of plants by environmental stresses such as wind, rain, or sandstorms creates entry points for bacterial pathogens, which exploit these wounds to infect plants, spread through vascular tissues, and suppress immunity. Read more
EASTBIO: Exploring the role of extracellular vesicles in insect pest saliva
Sap-feeding insect pests cause significant economical damage to crops globally. While probing and feeding these insects secrete saliva inside their hosts which contains a wide range of molecules, including proteins, RNA, and metabolites. Read more
China Scholarship Council: Exploring the role of extracellular vesicles in insect pest saliva
Sap-feeding insect pests cause significant economical damage to crops globally. While probing and feeding these insects secrete saliva inside their hosts which contains a wide range of molecules, including proteins, RNA, and metabolites. Read more
York YBDTP project: Developing novel insecticidal proteins for crop protection
Lead supervisor. Dr Federico Sabbadin. Co-supervisors. Dr Liz Rylott. The student will be registered with the Department of Biology (University of York). Read more
Developing novel insecticidal proteins for crop protection
Project Overview. Undertake a cutting-edge PhD research project at the UoY’s Centre for Novel Agricultural Products (CNAP), focused on addressing one of the most pressing challenges in agriculture. 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.

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
PhD Opportunity - Examining novel CO2-sensing mechanisms in plants to improve water use efficiency
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Outline. Elevated carbon dioxide concentration in air is a major consequence of global climate change. Read more
Carbon sequestration from Agricultural soils from different Land-uses, Managements and Soil types (CALMS)
Agriculture dominates the Irish landscape, with ~60% of the total land area devoted to grass-based agriculture for beef and dairy production. Read more
Modelling and measuring agricultural management on peat soils to enhance removals and sequestration of carbon (MAPSERS-C)
Ireland and New Zealand aim to at least halve greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030 and reach net zero carbon by 2050. A significant contribution common to both countries national GHG estimates comes from grassland over drained organic (peat) soils with upper estimates of approximately 9Mt CO. Read more
