Essential Plant Biology - Alison M. Smith

Descriere Essential Plant Biology - Alison M. Smith

\nAlison M. Smith is an Emeritus Fellow and former Group Leader at the John Innes Centre, Norwich, UK. She has a PhD in Plant Sciences from the University of Cambridge. Her research interest is in plant metabolism, particularly the central roles of starch and sucrose. \n \nJ. Allan Downie is an Emeritus Fellow and former group leader at the John Innes Centre, Norwich. He has a PhD in Biochemistry from the University of Dundee. His research interests are in plant-microbe interactions, focussing on interkingdom signaling between nitrogen-fixing endosymbionts and their plant hosts. \n \nNicholas Harberd was Sibthorpian Professor of Plant Science at the University of Oxford, UK and is now an Emeritus Research Fellow at St John's College Oxford. He was previously a Group Leader at the John Innes Centre, Norwich, UK. He has a PhD in Genetics from the University of Cambridge. His research interest is in the hormonal regulation of plant growth with particular focus on environmentally sustainable crop yield. \n \nJonathan Jones is a Senior Group Leader at the Sainsbury Laboratory, Norwich, UK. He received his PhD at Cambridge Genetics Dept and the Plant Breeding Institute. His group investigates how plant immune receptors detect pathogen effectors and activate defense, and also how best to use this knowledge to protect crops.\n \nLars Østergaard is Sherardian Professor of Botany at the University of Oxford, UK and a former group leader at the John Innes Centre, Norwich UK. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. His research is focussed on genetic and hormonal interactions during plant reproductive tissue development. \n \nRobert Sablowski is a Group Leader at the John Innes Centre, Norwich, UK. He obtained his PhD in Plant Molecular Biology from the University of East Anglia and was a postdoctoral fellow at Caltech. His research has focused on growth and development of meristems and flowers, and more recently on the links between growth and division in plant cells. \n \nColwyn Thomas is Course Director for the M.Sc in Plant genetics and Crop Improvement at John Innes Centre, Norwich, UK. He has 25 years of experience teaching genetics and plant biology, primarily at the University of East Anglia, Norwich. He has a PhD in plant virology from the University of Wales which was followed by post-doctoral research in plant-pathogen interactions at the Sainsbury Laboratory, Norwich, UK. \n
