'Raising the Pulse' (RtP): Systems analysis of the environmental, nutritional and health benefits of pulse-enhanced foods
'Raising the Pulse (RtP)' is based on the concept that considerable health and environmental benefit would result if we could make it easier for the UK population to eat more UK gr...
Capital, Class, and Crisis in Resource-Rich Countries: Rethinking the Transformation of the Post-Soviet Space in the Age of Climate Change
The effects of climate change around the globe are receiving increasing attention in the media, and the post-Soviet space is no exception, as news about Siberia's 'zombie fires' an...
PlantSynBio: Construction of a plant chassis as a platform for biological discoveries and innovations
A wide range of plants are grown for food, feed or fuel, and biotechnology has the potential to improve the quality, yield, and sustainability of these plants. Biotechnology applic...

On September 30 and October 16, 2002, representatives of the governments of China and Ecuador signed and countersigned Letters of Exchange, in which the former agreed to provide th...
ADVANCE Adaptation: Enabling Minorities’ Prime Outcomes with Education & Research (EMPOWER) at Florida Atlantic University
The absence of an inclusive and diverse STEM faculty significantly hurts the education of a STEM workforce by the lack of role models to help educate the diverse group of students...
Sex Peptide-dependent microcarrier signalling in reproduction
Reproductive biology affects our day-to-day lives in multiple ways. Many patients require assisted reproductive technologies, like in vitro fertilisation, to allow them to have chi...
'NERC-NSTC': Groundwater Resources in a Changing Climate (GRCC) - A Taiwan & UK partnership to share and develop groundwater knowledge and expertise
Groundwater provides about of one-third of global freshwater supplies and it has been estimated that about 2.5 billion people are solely dependent on groundwater for basic daily wa...
EDGE CMT: Genetic basis of plant root growth traits and their response to environment
Predicting how complex phenotypes emerge from the interaction of genetic variation and developmental environment (i.e., genotype by environment interaction) has become increasingly...
A new model of stomatal function
Plants need to draw water up from the soil to the shoots. They do this by losing water vapour via small, controllable pores on the leaf surface, termed stomata. Open stomata allow...
Food and Community in early modern England: how the production, consumption and selling of food were central to seventeenth century communities
The study of both food and community are familiar subjects in seventeenth century history. However, no historian has studied the two in conjunction to investigate how food built li...
Quantifying the 2022-2023 altitudinal range-wide tree mass-mortality event and probability of forest loss in Central Chile
The Mediterranean-type ecosystems of central Chile are highly biodiverse and rich in species that occur nowhere else, furthermore, they represent the entire Mediterranean biome of...
A SNARE-Aquaporin complex in stomatal hydraulics
Stomata are pores that mediate gaseous exchange across the impermeable cuticle of plant leaves. They open for CO2 entry when photosynthesis depletes CO2 inside the leaf, and they c...
Electrokinetic Biodegradation of Glyphosate: Feasibility, Mechanism, and Transport Modeling
Glyphosate is the most widely employed herbicide in the United States and globally. Approximately, 800,000 tons of glyphosate are utilized worldwide every year. Although the impact...
Investigating biosynthesis of the newly discovered natural product euglenatide and distribution across the breadth of Euglenoid algae
One third of all pharmaceuticals are based on natural products, most of which are currently derived from bacteria, fungi and plants. Algae are a largely untapped source of these dr...
CAREER: Molecular Electrocatalysts and Reactive Separations for Wastewater Nitrogen Refining
The utilization of nitrogen (N) fertilizers has been critical to maximizing crop yields in agriculture and farming to feed a growing world population. Unfortunately, the release of...
CAREER: Protecting Microbes to Protect Plants
Non-technical description Chemicals used in farming like fertilizers and pesticides have allowed us to produce enough food to feed the rapidly-growing global population. Additiona...
