Engineering more water-use efficient crops: functional genomics of CO2 fixation during Crassulacean acid metabolism
The world is getting hotter and drier due to climate change, and the human population is growing rapidly to the extent that it has been predicted that we will need to increase crop yields by 50 - 70 % by 2050 in order to feed the predicted 9 - 10 billion people. Read more
Self-funded project: Uncovering the biological roles of recently discovered carbohydrate-active enzymes in green microalgae.
Photosynthetic microalgae are microbes that have colonized every habitat on Earth, and are paramount in fueling the global ocean biological carbon pump. Read more
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

Determining the importance of lipid remodelling in the rhizosphere bacteria
Maintaining an adequate food supply for a growing population in the face of emerging global crises presents one of the great challenging of the 21st Century. 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 plant metabolic pathways over the past two decades. Read more
