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
MSc by Research: Protein expression and purification from plants to facilitate structural biology in plant-pest interactions
Pests and diseases are a major threat to food security with losses ranging between 20-40%. Aphids are one of the most devastating insect pests, globally. Read more
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: Targeted protein degradation in plants – developing “Green PROTACs” for functional analysis of lethal genes
Climate change is one of the biggest threats to global food production, leading to unpredictable weather patterns and geographical migration of pathogens. 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
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: The role of 5’-UTRs in temperature-regulated gene expression
Plants display a remarkable degree of developmental plasticity, tailoring their growth and shape to their environment. Read more
MSc by Research: Signaling pathways controlling epidermal development in cereals
Plants living on land face brutal threats from pests, dehydration and temperature. To survive and thrive, land plants evolved a waxy ‘cuticle’ and distinctive epidermal cells such as gas pores and defensive barbs. Read more
MSc by Research: Jasmonate control of barley development
From the earliest farmers to modern plant breeders, humans have continually modified the body plan of cereals, sometimes drastically, to generate higher grain yields. Read more
MSc by Research: The Generation Gap – understanding tissue communication during grain development
Cereal grain provides more calories than any other source to our diet, making grain production vital to food security. We study grain development in barley, a globally important cereal, and a powerful genetic model system. Read more
MSc by Research: Regulation of Architecture in Barley
Plant architecture, or body plan, plays a key role in determining grain yield of crop plants. However, we have little understanding of the molecular genetic basis of architecture in the temperate cereals such as barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), especially in comparison to the warm weather crops such as rice (Oryza sativa). 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
