PhD Studentship: Soil Environments: We are offering an exciting opportunity for a PhD studentship focused on understanding how plant roots sense and respond to compacted soil conditions. This research aims to uncover the mechanisms by which plants detect and cope with physical stress in complex, heterogeneous soil environments. The project involves characterizing the molecular, cellular, and physiological responses of plants to soil compaction using advanced techniques.
