Research School of Biology
The ANU Research School of Biology (RSB) carries out research in a wide range of biological and biomedical sciences and oversees the University's Biology curriculum, with a diverse offering of courses across both undergraduate and graduate degrees.
Researchers have uncovered a mechanism that helps plants continue photosynthesising under extreme heat and dry air conditions.
Three Australian National University (ANU) scientists have been recognised for their extraordinary work by being elected Fellows of the Australian Academy of Science.
Research led by The Australian National University (ANU) has revealed that wild sulphur-crested cockatoos learn what foods are safe to eat by watching each other — a discovery that helps explain how the species thrives in rapidly changing urban environments.
RSB Director's Seminar: Inferring how molecules behave from their interaction with light
RSB Director's Seminar featuring Professor Alison Rodger, Director of the Research School of Chemistry at ANU, Group Leader in the Division of Biological Chemistry, Research School of Chemistry, ANU.
PS Seminar Series: From Mutant Screening to Gene Discovery: Exploring C4 Photosynthesis and Leaf Senescence in Setaria viridis
C4 photosynthesis is a highly efficient carbon assimilation pathway that contributes to the high productivity of major crops such as maize, sorghum, and sugarcane. Understanding the genetic mechanisms regulating C4 photosynthesis and leaf senescence is important for improving photosynthetic efficiency and crop productivity.
