Plants and Food Security

We study the response of plants to the environment at the molecular, whole plant and ecological levels. This includes interactions with nematodes, insects and microbes.

Research outputs

The partitioning of newly assimilated linoleic and α‐linolenic acids between synthesis of longer-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and hydroxyoctadecaenoic acids is a putative branch point in T cell essential fatty acid metabolism
