Do redox regulated post translational modifications lead to catalase moonlighting?
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ROS processing enzymes and proteins have been co-opted during evolution into the regulation of plant growth, development and defence. Read more
PhD Position in the field of Plant Meiosis (f/m/d)
Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK)
Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK)
The research group. “Meiosis”. is interested in the process of plant meiosis that generates genetic variation through homologous recombination that is harnessed in plant breeding. Read more

The impact of peat free compost alternatives on the physical, nutritional and sensory quality of kale
Peat is a finite resource that has been exploited by the horticulture industry, leading to damage of peatland habitats. Peat products are being phased out in the UK and Ireland and replaced with peat-free alternatives, such as biochar, coir, and bark composts. Read more

Where do the wild things grow? Remote assessment of forest biodiversity condition
Project Description. Forest expansion is central to achieving the UK’s net-zero ambitions and reversing decades of decline in biodiversity. Read more
Photoadapt: Light-switchable chameleonic molecules for controlled permeability in plants
Light is unsurpassed in its ability to control biological systems with high spatial and temporal resolution. It has the advantages of non-invasive and remote action, reversibility, speed, and facile modulation of the energies involved (through use of different wavelengths/colours). Read more
