There are currently several research vacancies at the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) in Mexico:
Early maize farmers selected for genes that improved the harvesting of sunlight, a new detailed study of how plants use 'doubles' of their genomes reveals. The findings could help current efforts to improve existing crop varieties.
A report of the research is published this week in the journal Genome Research.
Steve Kelly's research is focussed on addressing this knowledge gap employing innovative high-throughput experimental and computational strategies.
Peter’s research focuses on the microbial ecology of the rhizosphere.
