Clock-watchER: Circadian coordination of the plant endoplasmic reticulum

University of Warwick School of Life Sciences

The rotation of the Earth creates periodic day-night changes in environmental conditions such as light and temperature. Organisms are able to adapt to these predictable diurnal cycles through their internal timekeeping system, the circadian clock, which has a periodicity of approximately 24 hours. Read more

Choreographing plant disease; pathogen effector manipulation of organelles – the view from inside

University of Warwick School of Life Sciences

Biotic stress contributes disproportionately to crop losses, accounting for in excess of 25% of global yield. Thus, developing novel approaches to restricting pathogen infections of crops and consequently improving yields must be a key future objective for food security. Read more

Assessment and engineering of the Brassica self-incompatibility locus to enhance seed production

University of Warwick School of Life Sciences

Genetic diversity enables species to adapt to changing environments. If a plant produces pollen that fertilises its own stigma, a process known as self-pollination, the resulting progeny will lose genetic diversity and could become inbred and thus less competitive. Read more

Plant mobile signals for long-lasting fruit protection

University of Warwick School of Life Sciences

Rationale. Fruit decay due to postharvest diseases can claim up to 50% of total crop production. Pesticides can control these diseases but their use postharvest is extremely limited due to toxicity. Read more
