Functional characterisation of a subset of Arabidopsis ionotropic glutamate receptor orthologues
Profile:
Email:brd21@cam.ac.uk

Description:Sequencing of the Arabidopsis thaliana genome has revealed the existence of a family of around twenty genes resembling at the amino acid level the ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) found in animals.  In mammals the iGluRs function in synap ...(more project details)


Functional characterisation of glutamate receptor like ion channels from Arabidopsis thaliana
Profile:
Email:ll280@cam.ac.uk

Description:Based on the sequence similarity at deduced amino acid level, twenty genes encoding integral membrane proteins were identified as putative glutamate receptor ion channels in the Arabidopsis genome (AtGLRs) (Lam et al., 1998). In animal systems, io ...(more project details)


Glutamate receptor orthologues in Arabidopsis.
Profile:
Email:rjd23@cam.ac.uk

Description:It has become apparent in the last five years that the pathways for passive uptake of some macronutrients and toxic cations in plants are unlikely to involve highly selective transport mechanisms. Na+, NH4+ and Ca2+ have been shown in a number of stu ...(more project details)


Investigation of a rice DUR3 homologue involved in urea transport.
Profile:
Email:ll280@cam.ac.uk

Description:Urea is not only an important intermediate in the plant nitrogen metabolism, but also a principle nitrogen fertiliser applied to crops worldwide, particularly in developing countries. On a global basis, nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) has been estimate ...(more project details)

Physiological traits for screening drought tolerance in wheat
Profile:Ali Izanloo
Email:ali.izanloo@acpfg.com.au

Description:The aims of the project are to study physiological responses of wheat varieties under South Australian drought conditions and to determine the best physiological trait for screening drought tolerant wheat varieties and then phenotype them for traits ...(more project details)


Sodium transport in Arabidopsis thaliana
Profile:
Email:pae21@cam.ac.uk

Description:Experiments are being conducted to determine the sensitivity of growth of Arabidopsis plants to salt stress (specifically Na+ ions), by exposing growing seedlings to progressively higher concentrations of sodium chloride (NaCl). The alleviation of th ...(more project details)
