  GRS 2024 (Rose Zhang) - Improving chickpea drought tolerance through aquaporin engineering

  Global pulse productivity is threatened by current and projected climate change, and in chickpeas alone, terminal drought events are responsible for 40-50% of yield losses. Aquaporins (AQPs), a family of plant membrane proteins, are emerging as a…

  Cereal rust isolate categorisation proof-of-concept

  Cereal rust diseases are caused by pathogenic fungi that often evolve rapidly into new virulent strains that render the genetic resistance in crops ineffective. This project aims to identify virulence genes in rust fungi that allow them to overcome…
