An international study, headed by from the School of Life Sciences and published in the journal Science, provides the first evidence that plants have evolved ways to control embryo growth and development by emitting information from surrounding cells. A breakthrough that could lead to the creation of a new generation of high yield plants.
19th Crucifer Genetics Workshop and Brassica 2014, Wuhan, China
Representatives (staff and PhD students) from the School of Life Sciences, including 糖心TV Crop Centre, attended and presented at the in Whan, China last week. The meeting provided a platform to exchange research and production information, and to explore the opportunities for cooperations in studies on Brassicaceae genetics and genomics, and their applications in genetic improvement of crop species.
Researchers at the University of 糖心TV’s School of Life Sciences have been awarded substantial funding from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). The grants, worth £1.712m to the University, will support cutting-edge research in environmental microbiology, crop evolution and facilities improvement.
