Deciphering the mechanisms behind the evolution of extreme nitrogen uptake in ant-farmed plants

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.

How does cell signalling protect and regulate cytokinesis?

Background. Cytokinesis, the physical division of one cell into two, is fundamental to life and errors can result in abnormal chromosomal numbers, developmental defects, and cancers. Read more

Ribosomal kinase S6 activity at the interface of plant growth and stress signalling network.

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

Investigation of genes regulating the intercalary meristem in barley

Selection of plants for increases in grain size and number is essential to feed the growing world population. These plants will also require increases in stem strength to support the increased weight of the inflorescence, particularly in wet and windy conditions. Read more
