Developing Net Zero Wheat Varieties (Ref: CTP-SAI-053)
Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a major global crop, with >700 mt produced/year (FAO stat 2018), it is used for human consumption (e.g. Read more
Innovative tillage for potato production within regenerative farming systems (Ref: CTP-SAI-052)
Our soils will have to play an important role in avoiding catastrophic climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and they must also mitigate the effects of climate change that is already determined by historic emissions. Read more
To me, to you - developing a push-pull system for sustainable management of aphid pests in seed and ware potato crops (Ref: CTP-SAI-048)
The value of seed and ware potato crops is reduced by a range of aphid transmitted viruses. These viruses are collectively known as ‘persistent’ and ‘non-persistent’ viruses. Read more
Inflorescence architecture in the laboratory and field
Plant form is shaped by both genetics and environment; changes in response to temperature can be the most dramatic of all. Many plants synchronize flowering with spring by sensing and storing an epigenetic ‘memory’ of cold, which then affects the timing, morphology and productivity of the inflorescence produced.

EASTBIO: Molecular interplay in plant-aphid-virus interactions
Aphid-transmitted plant viruses pose a major threat to potato crop production. Among the non-persistent viruses, potyviruses, such as PVY and PVA, cause significant economic damage. Read more
PhD studentship in Plant Molecular Biology – Molecular responses of developing seeds to heat stress
Overview. Climate change is causing more extreme weather and higher occurrence of unfavourable growing conditions, with global temperatures projected to rise further and by almost 5oC by 2100. Read more
Mechanisms of interactions between isothiocyanates and diterpenoids in cancer chemoprevention. (BAOY_U23FMHCPRT )
High consumption of cruciferous vegetables can reduce the risk of cancer. This protection is attributed to high level of glucosinolates and their breakdown products, isothiocyanates (ITCs), in cruciferous vegetables. Read more

Building a plant-based carboxysome to improve photosynthesis
Supervisors. Dr. Douglas Orr. Dr. Marjorie Lundgren. . Project Description. Cyanobacteria have evolved elegant approaches to carrying out highly efficient photosynthesis in low CO. Read more
Investigating novel Arabidopsis recombination mutants
Meiosis is a specialised cell division during sexual reproduction that is essential for fertility. It reduces chromosome numbers by half, so that haploid gametes are restored to normal ploidy levels upon fertilisation. Read more
Re-engineering Golgi dynamics in plants – investigating the role of myosin receptors
The growing global population requires the development of novel strategies to sustainably increase food production. Organelle movement is dynamic and linked to changes in cell size, plant biomass and in response to factors which affect food production such as pathogens (Perico and Sparkes, New Phytol. Read more

MSc by Research: Signaling pathways controlling epidermal development in cereals
Plants living on land face brutal threats from pests, dehydration and temperature. To survive and thrive, land plants evolved a waxy ‘cuticle’ and distinctive epidermal cells such as gas pores and defensive barbs. Read more
