我们研究植物，其环境与其他生物之间的相互作用。我们的目标是利用这些知识来改善作物质量和农艺表现。这项工作从分子和生化水平的研究延伸到整个植物的生理分析和作物群落的性能。我们研究的核心是使用模型植物拟南芥来获得对作物植物过程分子基础的新见解。博士学位的正常持续时间为36或48个月，MPhil通常为24个月。
Our internationally acclaimed plant and crop science research is focussed on crop plants of global importance such as wheat, rice, barley, and tomato, and underutilised crops such as bambara.<br><br>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.<br><br>We study the interactions between plants, their environment and other organisms. Our goal is to harness this knowledge to improve crop quality and agronomic performance.
