Fungal immunity: how do NLR genes allow fungi to navigate the microbial world?
The ability of an organism to distinguish between self and non-self and to mount an effective response is the foundation of a functional immune system. Read more
Enhancing Food Safety: Volatile Organic Compound-Based Early Detection of zoonotic pathogens in Leafy Greens
The project focuses on addressing the rise of foodborne illnesses linked to ready-to-eat salads, particularly caused by zoonotic pathogens like Shiga toxin-producing E. Read more

Supervisors. Lead Supervisor. Dr David Withall (Rothamsted Research). Additional Supervisors. Professor Chris Bass (University of Exeter), Ian Clark (Rothamsted Research), Dr Bram Kuijper (University of Exeter), Dr Godfrey Apangu (Rothamsted Research). 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
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
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
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
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
Valorising Agricultural Waste using Green Chemistry & Engineering for Sustainable Chemical Production
Project ID. SS_13. Theme. Safety and Sustainability. The agricultural industry represents an excellent opportunity for circular approaches to chemical production; the industry is well established globally, operates at the million-tonne level and around 50% of many crops (e.g. Read more
Human cognitive factors in understanding antimicrobial and pesticide resistance
Project ID. SS_9. Theme. Safety and Sustainability. The applicant will have strong interests in the fields of cognitive science and its application to global sustainability around sustainable farming and public health. Read more
Use of remote sensing data to improve predictions of ozone and drought impacts on crop yield.
Tropospheric ozone is a phytotoxic pollutant and can have numerous negative impacts within an ecosystem, including effects on plant growth, biodiversity and carbon sequestration. Read more
Optimising use of fibrous agricultural products by use of molecular-level detail to inform agronomic practice
Project ID. SS_4. Theme: Safety and Sustainability. Do you want to help ensure the future sustainability of the UK agricultural sector?. Read more
BARIToNE: Identification of key gene for better barley using AI protein structure modelling (Project code 25E)
Supervisors. Lead supervisor - Dr Runxuan Zhang, James Hutton Institute. Second supervisor - Dr Piers Hemsley, University of Dundee. Read more
