With the onset of climate change we have seen ongoing increases in mean global temperature, including a rise in night temperatures that has outpaced the rate of daytime warming.
I began my research career investigating the relationship between photosynthesis and nitrogen in the leaves of wheat, mainly out of curiosity.
RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are critical regulators of gene expression, but have been poorly studied relative to other classes of gene regulators.
The emergence of widely virulent Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt) races over the past two decades has motivated global efforts to identify effective stem rust (Sr) resistance genes.
Plant resistance proteins act as immune receptors to recognise pathogen effectors and activate defense.
As the intermediary between DNA and proteins, RNA has a major regulatory role in gene expression.
