Global food security is under threat as the population is projected to exceed 10 billion by 2050. Genetic engineering approaches to increasing nitrogen use efficiency have met limited success, partly because plants modify nitrogen uptake mechanisms in response to available nitrogen levels.

Understanding how individual cells make decisions is crucial for unravelling the mysteries of life. Multicellular organisms develop through cells receiving and interpreting signals that guide their division, differentiation, and function. Read more
Environmental stress, even in short periods, can significantly limit plant productivity. Plants have evolved tightly regulated signalling pathways to sense and respond to changes in their growth environment. Read more
Proteins undergo post-translational modifications (PTMs) that have evolved in all forms of life as a mechanism for rapidly adapting protein function in response to many different kinds of stimuli. Read more
Seabird populations have declined significantly in recent decades due to human pressures, particularly climate change and the depletion of forage-fish stocks. Read more
