Overview

We have a large multi-national team of plant and crop scientists covering a wide range of research areas, from investigating molecular mechanisms in plant cells and tissues that control important developmental processes, through to investigating performance of crop plants in the field.

Features

We study the interactions between plants, their environment and other organisms including pathogens and beneficial microbes.

Our goal in the Plant and Crop Sciences programme from University of Nottingham is to harness this knowledge to improve crop quality and agronomic performance.

Programme Structure

Research areas

We undertake extensive research on mechanisms controlling plant growth and development using model plants, including Arabidopsis.

Research using model plants provides insights into gene networks that govern important agronomic traits such as seed germination, plant growth and morphology, plant response to environmental stresses, seed filling and fruit ripening. We aim to apply this fundamental knowledge to a diverse range of crop plants of significance to the UK and worldwide.
