How do plants balance the pros and cons of staying connected to their neighbours?
Multicellularity relies on communication between cells to orchestrate developmental and environmental responses. In plants, the cytoplasm of adjacent cells is connected by plasma membrane-lined bridges called plasmodesmata, allowing for exchange of molecular signals and resources. Read more

Revealing gene regulatory networks that control maize development
The final form (or shape) of a plant is a key determinant of fitness, and in our crops this translates to yield and quality. Read more

Epigenome engineering: priming chromatin for pathogen resistance
Brief. Plants can become more resilient to pathogen challenge after priming treatments, which is associated with changes to chromatin. Read more

Removing rabbits to restore ecosystems - plant community ecology
Outside the Fence. How strategic removal of rabbit warrens could achieve large-scale restoration and connect natural habitat for wildlife. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Mechanics of multifactorial stress responses in plants – How do abiotic stress signals integrate with pathogen immunity?
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Outline. Plants have the innate ability to respond to pathogens together with multiple abiotic stress challenges, but such responses often come at a cost to plant productivity and water use. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Examining novel CO2-sensing mechanisms in plants to improve water use efficiency
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Outline. Elevated carbon dioxide concentration in air is a major consequence of global climate change. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Enhancing Plants’ Responses to Environmental Stress
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Outline & aim. This project will discover how plants integrate light and temperature signals to respond to challenges induced by climate change. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Engineering stomatal patterning in plants for enhanced water use efficiency
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Outline. Globally, agricultural fresh-water usage has increased 6-fold in the past 100 years, twice as fast as the human population, and is expected to double again before 2030, driven mainly by agriculture. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Understanding how phototropin blue light receptor kinase signal from the plant plasma membrane
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Project description. The ability to enhance photosynthetic capacity remains a recognised bottleneck to improving plant productivity. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Synthetic biology for enhancing crop water use efficiency
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Outline & aim. Stomata are pores that provide for gaseous exchange across the impermeable cuticle of leaves. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Environmental regulation of plant gene expression – the role of ultraviolet light
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Project description. Light is a major environmental factor regulating plant growth and development and has an impact on crop production. Read more
