Genetics of flowering shoot temperature responses in plants

Durham University Department of Biosciences

The shape of plants is shaped by both genetics and environment; changes in response to temperature can be the most dramatic of all. Read more

Supervisor: Dr J Hepworth

Year round applications PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)

Signalling mechanism enhancing root nodule symbiosis (CHARPENTIER_J24DTP)

John Innes Centre Graduate Programme

Nitrogen (N) acquisition is fundamental for plant growth. However, N is poorly available in soils, leading to extensive and costly chemical fertiliser applications. Read more

Supervisor: Dr M Charpentier

Doctoral (PhD) position - impact of biocontrol agents on diseases of ryegrass

University College Dublin School of Biology and Environmental Science

Irish agriculture is mainly grassland-based, and is key to the success of the dairy, beef, and sheep sectors. The Irish Climate Action Plan, the EU Green Deal, and the EU Farm to Fork strategy has placed ambitious reduction targets for the use of chemical inputs in the form of fertilisers and pesticides in grasslands.
