MSc by Research: Genetic interactions and novel genes that regulate lignin biosynthesis and straw quality in barley
Lignin is a major component of plant cell walls, and has a significant influence on the digestibility and uses of plant biomass. The lignin biosynthesis pathway has been one of the most intensively studied. Read more
MSc by Research: Feel the tension – how does S-acylation of OSCA ion channels regulate responses to environmental change in plants?
Plants, being sessile organisms, must sense and respond to environmental change, such as temperature or drought, without being able to move. Read more
MSc by Research: Do any Bacillus subtilis strains have an inhibitory effect on phytophthora pathogens and potential as a future biocontrol?
The world needs a sustainable and secure supply of fresh and affordable food. Increased demand for berries is driven by their popularity and consumer belief in their healthful properties. Read more
MSc by Research: Development of tools suited for the in vivo identification and study of protein complexes in Phytophthora capsici, required for infection
Broad host range pathogens, such as the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora capsici, can cause significant disease on a wide range of plants. Read more
MSc by Research: Context is everything – how do plants organise receptor complexes to fight pathogens and mitigate environmental stress?
Climate change is one of the biggest threats to global food production, leading to unpredictable weather patterns and geographical migration of pathogens. Read more
Heat shapes plant growth - unravelling crosstalk between temperature and hormone signalling pathways in the control of leaf development
Ambient temperature has profound effects on almost all aspects of plant development, from the onset of seed germination and seedling establishment to flower and fruit production, and thereby also impacts crop quality and yield. Read more
