Ph.D. position in Plant Molecular Biology
The lab of Prof. Christian Hardtke at the Department of Plant Molecular Biology, University of Lausanne, Switzerland, offers a Ph.D. Read more
Polymeric nanocomplex delivery of CRISPR to plant and fungal cells
About the project. This nanobiotechnology project aims to develop efficient nanoparticle biomolecule delivery systems for plant and fungal cells. Read more
ER Phone Home: defence signalling from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cell wall.
We are recruiting for a Sainsbury PhD studentship from the Gatsby Foundation. This fully funded studentship will be based in the Plant Environmental Signalling lab of Prof. Read more
FUNCTION OF SILICON TRANSPORTERS IN WHEAT IN RESPONSE TO DROUGHT AND HERBIVORY
Globally, wheat provides 4.5 billion people with 20% of calories and protein, but production is in long term decline due to environmental stress, including drought and pest attack. Read more
FULLY FUNDED PhD - Design of Next Generation Controlled Environment Systems for Optimised Plant Growth
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Background. Over a century of research has generated a detailed understanding of how plants perceive and adapt to changes in environmental conditions, with vegetative growth, flowering time, and grain yield each dependent upon light, humidity and temperature conditions. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: Microbial warfare or recycling? Identifying the molecular mechanisms underpinning cell envelope hydrolysis in plant bacteria
Microbial communities are vital components of plant health. Finding ways to effectively manipulate their composition for human benefit is of urgent importance. Read more
Biomechanics and tissue hydraulics in plant growth and development
Apply to join the MechaPlant Lab, led by Yuchen Long, to explore the coordinated regulations of biomechanics and tissue hydraulics in plant growth and development. Read more
Frequency Comb Spectroscopy for Volatile Organic Compound Emission Profiling
A fully funded (3.5 years) PhD position in the field of frequency comb laser spectroscopy for use in gas phase molecular sensing is available in the group of Dr Julia Lehman at the University of Birmingham. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: ChemGlycoPectin: Chemical glycobiology tools for the mechanistic exploration and inhibition of pathogenic plant pectin degrading enzymes
Plant pathogens caused hundreds of billions worth of damage to global food production annually in 2023, impacting staple crops such as wheat, maize and soybean all around the world putting an estimated 345 million people at higher levels of food insecurity. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: Interdisciplinary approach to investigate the mechanisms regulating food intake by plant-parasitic nematodes
Crop yields are significantly hampered by plant-parasitic nematode attack. These parasites drain resources from plant root systems to fuel their development and production of offspring. Read more
Fully-funded White Rose BBSRC DTP Chemistry project: ChemGlycoPectin: Chemical glycobiology tools for the mechanistic exploration and inhibition of pathogenic plant pectin degrading enzymes
Lead supervisor. Dr Martin A Fascione. Co-supervisors. Dr Federico Sabbadin and Dr Glyn Hemsworth (University of Leeds). The student will be registered with the Department of Chemistry. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: Cell wall changes during plant reproduction
During fertilisation in plants, key cells (pollen and ovules) undergo remarkable changes which involve alterations in the cell wall to allow fusion f gametes. Read more
The role of somatic (epi)genetic variation in tree genome adaptation for climate change resilience
· The project. Rationale. In plants, unlike animals, somatic DNA mutations can be directly transferred to progenies or to vegetatively propagated material. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: Chemical warfare in the rhizosphere: unlocking the defensive roles of plant root exudates against the bacterial pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum
Ralstonia solanacearum is one of the most devastating bacterial plant pathogens worldwide, due to its ability to survive in soil, water and a broad range of host plants. Read more
IAFRI PhD Studentship: Using multiplex-amplicon sequencing for broad spectrum targeted detection of plant viruses and vectors
Overview. Interested in understanding how rapid sequencing technology can help the UK protect against alien pests and diseases? Working in collaboration with Defra, this PhD will investigate the potential of nanopore sequencing to rapidly detect plant pathogens and their vectors. . Read more
