Background: Parasitic helminth infections are ubiquitous in grazing livestock throughout the world, causing significant economic and animal health burdens. Treatment and control of these parasites rely on a limited number of anthelmintic cl...
The Vacancy Background: Large Foundation models (LFMs) are deep learning models that are trained on broad collections of text, images or other data and act as the basis behind many current artificial intelligence applications, such as Cha...
The Vacancy Background - Most potato (Solanum tuberosum) varieties are highly sensitive to elevated temperature, reflecting their origin in the cool climates of the Andes in South America. This project directly targets critical knowledge ...
Background Micronutrients, including copper, zinc, and iron, are elements that are necessary for healthy growth and development in plants and humans, despite being required in small amounts. In plants, copper underpins photosynthesis, whi...
The Vacancy Legumes such as beans and peas are central to sustainable food systems, providing dietary protein and many other nutrients, contributing to sustainable soil fertility and supporting climate-resilient agriculture. However, thei...
The Vacancy Potato genetics, unlike the genetics of other major crops, has experienced limited progress due to the complexity of its tetrasomic inheritance. However, the potato genetics group (Hein, Chen, and Adams) has made significant s...
