Mrs Gaynor McKenzie

My current role involves the curation of the Commonwealth Potato Collection, I am the potato glasshouse and germplasm manager. The commonwealth potato collection comprises of around 1524 seed-based accessions of tuber-bearing Solanum accessions representing over 90 different potato species (https://ics.hutton.ac.uk/germinate-cpc/#home).

Dr Max Coleman

My current role involves facilitating public engagement with RBGE science in an informal educational context through a variety methods including: events, exhibitions, digital and community outreach.

A focus on food and crop plants has proved to be an effective public engagement hook that leads into topical issues such as biodiversity loss, climate change and making agriculture more sustainable.

‘Plant Teams’ on Lismore - Sharing Knowledge Whatever the Weather!

A visit to the island of Lismore on a midsummer weekend sounded idyllic to a group of researchers from the James Hutton Institute and SRUC.

Dr Petra Boevink

The focus of my research is the cell biology of plant-pathogen interactions, in particular between the notorious oomycete pathogen Phytophthora infestans, the causal agent of the devastating potato late blight, and its hosts. This pathogen manipulates plant defence responses on multiple levels, suggesting complex exchanges of signals between host and pathogen and a variety of effector functions.

Hemp’s role in diet biodiversification and reducing greenhouse gas emissions

Hemp could play a role in the development and expansion of a low carbon, environmentally responsible industry, bringing a new ‘cash-crop’ to Scottish agriculture and offering new job opportunities across the supply chain. This type of low carbon innovation is currently supported by the Scottish Government in the public sector (i.e.

Dr Robert Hancock

Rob is a senior crop physiologist and biochemist at the James Hutton Institute in Dundee. In his current role he works across a range of crops to identify physiological and biochemical mechanisms underpinning crop yield and quality in response to the biotic and abiotic environment. He works extensively with geneticists and breeders where his mechanistic insights facilitate the identification of genetic markers underpinning agronomic traits.
