Parasitic Orobanchaceae
| Description | This grant is a BBSRC-US partnering award. It has allowed the exchange of postdocs between the lab of Prof Mike Timko and Profs Scholes (Sheffield) and Prof Pickett (Rothamsted Research). The exchange programme has been very successful and facilitated joint research between the laboratories. The exchanges led to a joint publication by Prof Timko and Prof Scholes on molecular interactions between parasitic plants and their hosts. This grant has also led to joint research between Prof Scholes and Prof Timko and these Pis are currently writing a joint research proposal. |
| Exploitation Route | This grant has also led to joint research between Prof Scholes and Prof Timko and these Pis are currently writing a joint research proposal. |
