Genomics and genetics of traditional smallholder crops: amaranth and cowpea
Traditional, or underutilised, crops are not traded internationally, but can play a role in the resilience and sustainability of local food systems. 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
Chemical warfare in the rhizosphere: unpicking the defensive role of plant root exudates against the bacterial pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum
Background. R. solanacearum is a devastating bacterial plant pathogen which causes potato brown rot and bacterial wilt diseases. It has a global distribution, wide host range, and no effective control methods. Read more
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
CASE Project: Revolutionising Early Detection of Crop Pathogenesis using AI-based analysis of digital Imagery.
This project will be undertaken in collaboration with Data Dynamics Ltd and includes a minimum 3-month placement based at the Industry Partner's premises. Read more
Viral infection capacity across crustaceans of economic importance
Crustacean diseases cause economic damage to industry and the environment. Billions are lost on a yearly basis due to disease in crustacean aquaculture and, in wild systems, crustaceans commonly introduce disease-causing microbes as biological invaders. Read more
Decoding the Cross-talk Between RNA-binding Proteins, Phosphorylation, and Molecular Chaperones in Post-Transcriptional Gene Regulation in Toxoplasma gondii
This exciting PhD project aims to unravel the fundamental molecular mechanisms controlling gene expression in the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii, an organism of significant importance in veterinary and agricultural biosciences. Read more
CASE Project: OptiPol - Optimised composting of poultry manure for sustainable processing of farm waste
This project will be undertake in collaboration with Newquip Ltd and will involve a minimum 3-month placement based at the Industry Partner's premises. 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
