Deciphering the mechanisms behind the evolution of extreme nitrogen uptake in ant-farmed plants

Durham University

Department of Biosciences

Global food security is under threat as the population is projected to exceed 10 billion by 2050. Genetic engineering approaches to increasing nitrogen use efficiency have met limited success, partly because plants modify nitrogen uptake mechanisms in response to available nitrogen levels.

Investigation of genes regulating the intercalary meristem in barley

Durham University

Department of Biosciences

Selection of plants for increases in grain size and number is essential to feed the growing world population. These plants will also require increases in stem strength to support the increased weight of the inflorescence, particularly in wet and windy conditions. Read more

How do cells reset and then recall their transcriptional programme during cell division?

Newcastle University

Faculty of Medical Sciences

The 3D structure of the genome is critical to define the transcriptional program of eukaryotic cells. However, the structure of chromosomes is dramatically altered during cell division and little is known about how this affects transcription programmes and how cell identity can be maintained.
