Engineering more water-use efficient crops: functional genomics of CO2 fixation during Crassulacean acid metabolism

University of Liverpool Institute of Systems, Molecular and Integrative Biology

The world is getting hotter and drier due to climate change, and the human population is growing rapidly. Furthermore, it has been predicted that we will need to increase crop yields by 50 - 70 % by 2050 in order to feed the predicted 9 - 10 billion people. Read more

Where has all of the carbon gone? Understanding the molecular mechanisms of long-term soil carbon capture

The University of Manchester Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences

Soils, while unglamorous, form the basis of the terrestrial biosphere and are ultimately the source of the majority of the food that we eat, yet fundamental aspects of how soils form and how they store carbon are poorly understood. Read more
