Overview

University of Nottingham has 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.

The Plant and Crop Sciences programme from University of Nottingham studies the interactions between plants, their environment and other organisms including pathogens and beneficial microbes. The goal is to harness this knowledge to improve crop quality and agronomic performance.

PhD or MRes?

A PhD is an independent in-depth research project. You will be able to develop additional skills through training programmes to help you complete your PhD. See the support section for more details.

An MRes is usually a one-year course that includes an original research project worth 120 credits.

Programme Structure

It undertake extensive fundamental 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.

It aims to apply this fundamental knowledge to a diverse range of crop plants of significance to the UK and worldwide.
