We have 15 Plant Cell Biology PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for Non-European Students in the UK
York YBDTP project: Understanding evolutionarily conserved mechanisms of membrane remodelling required for photosynthesis
Lead supervisor: Dr Chris MacDonald. Co-supervisors: Prof Luke Mackinder and Ralf Richter – School of Biomedical Sciences and School of Physics and Astronomy (University of Leeds). Read more
York YBDTP project: Chemical warfare in the rhizosphere: unpicking the defensive role of plant root exudates against the bacterial pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum
Lead supervisor: Dr Andrea Harper. Co-supervisors: Dr Benjamin Lichman and Dr Ian Lidbury, (University of Sheffield). The student will be registered with the Department of Biology (University of York). Read more
The functional role of the epidermis in stomatal function
Gas exchange in plants is regulated by controllable micropores on the leaf surface, stomata, formed from pairs of guard cells (GCs). Read more
Signalling complexes and cell wall changes during plant reproduction
We are looking for a student interested in plant developmental, molecular and cell biology to join a vibrant and supportive group of researchers (jointly headed by Lisa Smith, Sam Amsbury and Andrew Fleming), providing an excellent collaborative environment for your PhD at the University of Sheffield.

Primed for Protection: Cell Wall Modifications in Plant Defense and Long-Term Immunity
This PhD project explores a cutting-edge area of plant immunity by investigating how plant cell wall (CW) modifications contribute to both immediate and long-lasting immune responses. Read more
Determining the role of FNR location in the photoprotection of photosystem I
Life on earth depends on photosynthesis, the source of our food, oxygen and most of our energy. Approximately 50% of this life-giving photosynthetic process happens in single celled organisms that live in the world’s oceans and form the critical basis of global food chains. Read more
Project at University of Reading: A receptor-ligand module with practical applications to improve food production
This project will take a multi-disciplinary approach to unlock the secrets of plant reproduction in order to produce better crops. Read more
