EASTBIO: Investigating the Underlying Molecular and Cell Biology of Emerging Disease Threats to Trees
Phytophthora species are extraordinarily virulent and adaptable plant pathogens. They are over-represented among recently emerging biotic threats to trees worldwide, with prominent examples including P. Read more
Developing Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) to Discern the Environmental and Socio-Economic Impacts of Cropping Pulses, and Pulse-Based Crop Rotations
Background. Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) calculates of inputs, outputs of systems processes, and identifies the sources of environmental impacts of product-, function- or service-delivery (. Read more
Iron Homeostasis In Bacterial Plant Colonization And Disease
Background. Iron is an essential nutrient in all orders of life. Since uptake is hampered by insolubility, plants and bacteria have evolved mechanisms for active sequestration, through the secretion of chelators called siderophores, and uptake via specific transport mechanisms. Read more
Where Have All The Hares Gone? Understanding Species Decline and to Support Species Recovery in Complex Multistakeholder Systems
About the Project. Lead-supervisor; Dr Helen Wheeler (School of Biological Sciences, Anglia Ruskin University). Co-supervisors; Dr Scott Newey and Dr Alessandro Gimona (The James Hutton Institute), and Rosalind Bryce (The University of Highlands & Islands). Read more
Structure-Function Analysis Of A Plant Virus RNA Transport Protein
Background. Plant viruses are major crop pathogens which cause $60 billion annual damage to the global agri-economy and threaten sustainable food production. Read more
POSITIVE - evaluating Plant pOlyphenol effects on SoIl funcTional dIVErsity
Background. Crop breeding has changed the nutritional, mineral and non-nutritional composition of crop plants. Non-nutritionals include metabolites such as polyphenols and these have historically been considered as ‘anti-nutritionals’, reflecting their effect upon animal health when fed as major components in diets.
