A time-resolved model for the Arabidopsis shoot apical meristem during floral transition

The James Hutton Institute Postgraduate Training

Background. Aerial parts of plants originate from pluripotent cells in the shoot apical meristem (SAM). An important determinant of crop yield but also of importance to wild species in a natural environment is the correct timing of developmental transitions. Read more

Supervisors: Dr V Wahl, Dr R Hancock, Prof H Jonsson

Structure-function analysis of a plant virus RNA transport protein

The James Hutton Institute Postgraduate Training

Background. Plants form the basis of human nutrition but crop yields are increasingly under threat from climate change and the associated shifts in pathogen distributions. Read more

Supervisors: Dr J Tilsner, Dr J Bos

Plant adaptation to low oxygen conditions

University of Oxford Department of Biology

In plants, cells are exposed to varying oxygen (O. 2. ) concentrations due to changes in environmental availability, metabolic activity, and organ anatomy (Weits et al., 20201; Loreti and Perata, 20202). Read more

Supervisor: Prof F Licausi

Year round applications PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
