PhD Studentship in AI-Designed Synthetic Proteins for Sustainable Control of Fungal Plant Diseases University of Birmingham in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the John Innes Centre in the Saunders Lab on deciphering critical regulators in wheat rust immunity . The project focuses on plant pathology , wheat genetics , molecular biology , bioinformatics , microbiology , and plant biology , with an emphasis on how branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) influence salicylic acid-mediated defence against yellow rust in wheat. The research aims to uncover the link between BCAA accumulation and activation of the MYB/SANT transcription factor Ta...

Fully funded PhD opportunity in plant pathology and population genomics Rothamsted Research, with the PhD registered at the University of Bath in the United Kingdom, is offering a doctoral project titled Population Genomics and Evolution of Wheat Take-all Under Diverse Agronomic and Seed Treatment Practices for Integrated Pathogen Management . The research will investigate the population genomics and evolution of the pathogen responsible for wheat take-all disease under different agronomic pract...

Vacancy for a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Berasategui Lab at The Sainsbury Laboratory in Norwich, United Kingdom .
