Read the storyResearch into the flower preferences of pollinating moths may have delivered a vital clue to the simple factors needed for the emergence of new species
Read the storyA new genomic tool has been launched to help the global community of wheat rust researchers, enabling simultaneous interrogation of gene expression data for the notorious yellow rust pathogen and its wheat host
Read the storyResearchers have identified a critical mechanism that allows deadly bacteria to gain resistance to antibiotics
Read the storyThe image of Gregor Mendel as a man leading a life isolated from the rest of the world combining scientific experiments with monastic duties needs to be revised according to new evidence which has been uncovered by Peter van Dijk and Noel Ellis
Read the storyJosh Waites in the new co-Chair of our PhD community; the PhD Voice. We asked Josh about his own PhD project and how a global pandemic has affected the PhD community more broadly
Read the storyResearchers have found a gene in wheat that acts to promote rust fungal infection. Disrupting the function of this gene provides resistance to two of the most economically damaging diseases of wheat worldwide - yellow and stem rust
Read the storyA question puzzling molecular biologists concerns how mRNA processing sites are precisely recognised; particularly how are they distinguished from surrounding sites with similar sequence content?
Read the storyAn ambitious proposal to create a resistance gene “atlas” as a resource for the international wheat community has been outlined in a new review
