Overall, the use of glyphosate resistant rose dramatically since the introduction of genetically modified (GM) crops to glyphosate. Weeds resistant to glyphosate are documented in 19 species of weeds on six continents. In the UK, currently genetically modified crops are grown, but the use of glyphosate in conventional crops has increased in recent years. To date, no resistance developed glyphosate has been reported in the United Kingdom, a number of converging factors, should it be a matter of time before it found suggest. In this project, you used a variety of experimental development to the study and modeling approaches to assess the risk of developing glyphosate resistance in the United Kingdom.
This exciting project from a TOP-BOX-up train students in a variety of skills in applied ecology and evolution support to solve a pressing problem, the impact on global food security, the student shall be the possibility of at least six months to spend on various Dow AgroSciences places within the United Kingdom (and possibly overseas). Neve laboratory uses a variety of modeling and testing of adaptive approaches to issues related to ecological and evolutionary management to explore herbicide resistance. The scholarship is for all applicants who meet the requirements of the BBSRC (UK residents).
Scholarship Application Deadline: 30 April 2011
