Optimising wheat-fungal symbioses for enhanced nutrition and sustainability
The global challenge of meeting food demand, particularly under the pressures of climate change, necessitates the optimization of crop nutrient uptake while minimizing resource inputs. Read more
Exploring bacteria-mycorrhizal fungi-plant interactions regulating nutrient exchange
Plant-microbe interactions underpin crop production. Bacteria and fungi are implicated in improving plant health with recent research showing these microbes synergise to additively increase crop yields. Read more
Understanding the molecular and physiological basis for crop-weed interactions for sustainable agriculture
Feeding our growing global population in a sustainable way that reduces inputs is a critical challenge for modern plant science. The major biological threat to a plant’s existence is neighbouring plants, since they directly compete for water, nutrients and light. Read more
Valorising Agricultural Waste using Green Chemistry & Engineering for Sustainable Chemical Production
Project ID. SS_13. Theme. Safety and Sustainability. The agricultural industry represents an excellent opportunity for circular approaches to chemical production; the industry is well established globally, operates at the million-tonne level and around 50% of many crops (e.g. Read more
Harnessing symbionts for control of vector borne disease in agriculture
Insects vector globally important diseases in agriculture, posing significant economic burdens and threatening food security. Virus transmission by sap-sucking insects account for nearly half of all plant pathogens, leading to >£24 billion in global annual costs. Read more
Human cognitive factors in understanding antimicrobial and pesticide resistance
Project ID. SS_9. Theme. Safety and Sustainability. The applicant will have strong interests in the fields of cognitive science and its application to global sustainability around sustainable farming and public health. Read more
Funded PhD SWBio DTP- Designing lipid nanoparticles for highly efficient CRISPR/Cas9 ribonucleoprotein delivery and gene editing in pest insects
Host institution. Rothamsted Research (Harpenden) Submit applications to this project to University of Bristol. Project description. Read more
Exploiting silenced genes to improve wheat breeding
Wheat is the most extensively cultivated crop worldwide and it is used as a critical food resource for more than 2.5 billion people. To accommodate the food request of a growing population, it has been estimated that wheat production should increase by 60% by 2050. Read more
Impact of the microbial biodiversity and micro-ecological processes on the transmission and persistency of diseases in farms: a multidisciplinary, adaptive research approach.
Background. Soil microbiota is responsible for the health and maintenance of the ecosystems, creating the greatest biodiversity in the world. Read more
Use of remote sensing data to improve predictions of ozone and drought impacts on crop yield.
Tropospheric ozone is a phytotoxic pollutant and can have numerous negative impacts within an ecosystem, including effects on plant growth, biodiversity and carbon sequestration. Read more
Soil carbon balance in blanket peatland forests
PeatFor Project – Management of peatland forests for climate and biodiversity. In pristine or undrained conditions peatland are long-term sinks of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO. Read more
Funded PhD SWBio DTP- Re-engineering of amino acid metabolism and protein synthesis in wheat via CRISPR/Cas9 editing of the metabolic regulator, GCN2
Host institution. Rothamsted Research (Harpenden) Submit applications to this project to University of Bristol. Project description. Read more
Creating a 4D atlas of body composition and gait with 3D cameras and deep learning to inform next generation cattle health and welfare developments
Background. High animal welfare and health practices are more important than ever to satisfy societal demands for the livestock sector. Read more
Funded PhD SWBio DTP- The role of endophytic entomopathogenic fungi on pest-host-parasitoid interactions: a chemical ecology perspective
Host institution. Rothamsted Research (Harpenden) Submit applications to this project to University of Bristol. Project description. Read more
Multi-camera machine vision of a whole cattle herd for assessing the impact of interventions for environmental sustainability
Background. While dairy farming is receiving increasingly strong competition from plant-based alternatives, it remains an important agricultural option where grass is the most viable crop, such as in substantial areas of the UK as well as a large slice of world landmass. Read more
