Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

| Description | Collaboration with David Withall (Biointeractions and Crop Protection- Rothamsted Research) |
| Organisation | Rothamsted Research |
| Department | Biological Chemistry and Crop Protection |
| Country | United Kingdom |
| Sector | Charity/Non Profit |
| PI Contribution | Introducing David Withall to fungal hormones and potential use for disease control. Joint PhD proposal stemming from this work. |
| Collaborator Contribution | This collaboration utilises the group's biochemical expertise and equipment (HPLC/LCMS) for purification and characterisation of hormonal compounds from Pyrenopeziza brassicae. |
| Impact | Crude extracts were fractionated using HPLC and the resulting fractions re-assayed for activity. This has allowed us to narrow down activity to a few compounds (down from 100s). Current work is using mass spectrometry and NMR to identify these compounds. |
