"This strategy positions plant science R&D in the broader UK science and innovation landscape to deliver solutions such as to reduce carbon emissions in agriculture production, deliver sustainable food systems and increase carbon sequestration in both cultivated and natural ecosystems"
“We hope our results influence future management of plant-microbe interactions and improve the ability of scientists to use arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and bacteria to improve the nutrition of crops in soils with limited phosphorus levels”
"The Hydro Nation International Centre at the James Hutton Institute in Scotland is honoured to coordinate our annual national celebration of World Water Day"
"This event provides a valuable learning experience for Hutton students in communicating their work to the wider scientific community and promotes a collegiate atmosphere"
"We need the perspective provided by a diverse group of scientists in order to address the serious environmental problems faced by the world today, like climate change, pollution and the loss of biodiversity"
"The tool developed by Dr Currie and Dr Piras was used to analyse the 33 case studies to be showcased during the conference"
“We will study the activity and structure of the discovered proteins, their activity in induction of host defence responses, and determine their sites of action during plant infection”
Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal took part in a special podcast as part of the On Farm series (www.podfollow.com/onfarm) to launch a new research drive to shed new light on equine grass sickness, an often fatal disease of horses.
"Land reform in Scotland is a topic of international discussion and fascination"
“These workshops were a fantastic opportunity to showcase not only Flapjack, but the wide variety of free and open-source visualization, database, and decision support tools that we produce at the Hutton in support of breeders all around the globe”
"Tomnah’a are a great example of a new entrant that are using their farming and floristry skills, not just for community and biodiversity benefits, but also to create a viable and innovative business model"
"We'd love to hear what you think of it, so please send us your comments"
"It is a pleasure to announce Robbie, Derek and Lee-Ann as the directors of IBH, APGC and ILUSC. They are all highly successful and dynamic leaders and highly respected in their own fields, have influential national and international networks, and have clear and exciting vision and plans."
“We hope our booklet inspires interest and contributes to a future generation of female scientists”
"There are strong ethical and environmental drivers to source our plant protein from home-grown pulses, but there is much to learn and do"
By Pete Iannetta and Alison Karley, Ecological Sciences, James Hutton Institute
"New entrants face a lot of hurdles, so we’re excited to showcase business models that demonstrate how barriers to land access and profitability can be overcome, while also pursuing sustainability objectives."
