Clock-watchER: Circadian coordination of the plant endoplasmic reticulum
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
A view from inside; how pathogen effectors choregraph organelles to suppress plant immunity and promote colonisation
Biotic stress contributes disproportionately to crop losses, accounting for more than of 25% of global yield. Thus, developing novel approaches to restricting pathogen infections of crops and consequently improving yields must be a key futurey objective for food security. Read more
Project Title How do carbon monoxide degrading bacteria interact with plants?
Research Group:
CENTA - Central England NERC Training Alliance
Project Highlights. · Characterise bacteria degrading a key atmospheric pollutant. Read more
Unravelling the Regulatory Mechanisms of Effector-Triggered Immunity for Durable Plant Resistance
Plant immunity heavily relies on R proteins capable of recognising pathogens and activating immunity. Yet this resistance often breaks under field conditions. Read more
Integration of environmental signals in plants
Plants use a diversity of signals from the environment to make decisions during their life cycle. This project will focus on understanding how multiple signals from the environment are integrated to control seed dormancy. Read more
Impact of climate change on bacteriophage and virome diversity
Research Group:
CENTA - Central England NERC Training Alliance
Project Highlights. · Climate change impacts on Brassica health. · Phage and virome community changes due to climate change. Read more
Nanoparticles for penetrating complex polysaccharide matrices – cell walls and biofilms
Vision. To find carbon-based nanostructures that will pass through complex polysaccharide matrices to deliver drugs and/or reporters. Read more
Determining how phosphorylation drives functional protein interactions
Phosphorylation is one of the most highly studied posttranslational modifications, due to its fundamental importance in regulating protein function, interactions, subcellular localisation, and turnover. Read more
Inheritance of chromatin marks during cell replication in plants
The correct development of multicellular organisms entails the specifications of distinct cell types. Each of these cellular identities must be conserved during later cell divisions. Read more
Identifying sources of resistance and developing an IPM strategy for Carrot Red Leaf Virus and Willow-Carrot Aphid in carrot crops
Carrots are the most important root vegetable in the UK, producing over 700,000 tonnes annually with a sales value of £290 million. Read more
Development of effective phage cocktails for precise crop protection measures
Crop production plays a crucial role in ensuring global food security and maintaining economic stability, especially with the global population projected to reach 9.8 billion by 2050, necessitating a 70% increase in food production. Read more
Upcycling Farm Residues into Fungal Bio-inks for 3D Printing
This research plan is a collaboration between the School of Life Sciences and the School of Engineering, which will see the candidate work on fundamental aspects of biomaterials development while at the same time leading to practical applications of 3D bio-printing. Read more
Assessment and engineering of the Brassica self-incompatibility locus to enhance seed production
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
Unravelling the global microbiome of crop plants to improve sustainability and food security
Plants live in close association with complex communities of microbes which together constitute their ‘microbiome’. The microbiome interacts with the plant in numerous ways; some microbes are beneficial and promote plant growth, while others are pathogens which reduce crop yields. Read more
Future crop protection: Precision application of biopesticides
Crop pests are a major constraint on agricultural production, resulting in significant losses of yield and crop quality. Read more
