The Vacancy Cereals are our most important staple foods, supplying about 50% of global dietary energy. Cereal crops were domesticated from their wild progenitors thousands of years ago. In their wild form, mature grains naturally fall fro...
The Vacancy Many governments (including UK) are encouraging regenerative agriculture via policies that support or encourage reduced tillage and cover/catch crop utilisation in agricultural rotations, however, success in northern climates ...
The Vacancy Developing crop cultivars that are resilient to climate change and can help mitigate its effects will be critical to supporting healthy soils and reducing the environmental impact of food production. Key to this are the intera...
The Vacancy 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 photo...

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 ChatGPT. Recently...
The Vacancy 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 a...
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 strides in this...
