Dr J William Allwood

For over 19 years Will has made major contributions in the field of metabolomics and metabolite profiling. He is interested in the study and development of chromatography - linked - mass spectrometry (LC and GC) for a range of applications in the fields of plant-physiology, pathology and insect interactions, as well as natural product discovery. Will was a core researcher within the two teams who were first recognised for applying metabolomics approaches to the study of plant disease and insect interactions.

Dominic Williams

Dominic has been primarily involved in research on Scottish fruit crops but has carried out research on all the major crop groups and involved in developing a field based hyperspectral imaging platform for use in soft fruit industry. They have been responsible for the development of imaging techniques, image analysis methods and interpretation of the data from such a platform. The main focus of their research has been using hyperspectral imaging to help detect and understand below ground stress in raspberry and blueberry crops.

Dr Micha Bayer

Micha is a bioinformatics specialist with a focus on second and third generation sequence analysis and 14 years of experience in barley genomics, variomics and transcriptomics. He is one of the early pioneers of applying these technologies to barley. Over the years he has been involved in a large variety of projects across most of our crop plant species, but most of his research currently relates to barley. Micha's particular interest is in barley variomics and genomics.

Kathryn Wright

Much of Kathryn's work has involved the application of imaging and cell biology techniques to investigate the interactions between pathogens and plants.This includes, investigating the colonisation of young plants marketted as micro-herbs or microgreens, by Escherichia coli O157:H7 Sakai. She has developed methods to study the colonisation of potato roots by Pectobacterium atrosepticum to identify the route of transfer to the developing plant and how this is influenced by free-living nematodes.

Understanding the Scottish food supply chain

We are consolidating data to map production, imports and exports of fresh and processed foods for major Scottish agri-food supply chains, and map these against purchasing and intake data, as well as dietary recommendations. We also model the impacts and requirements of a transition to more healthy and sustainable scenarios of production and consumption in Scotland.

Crop Improvement for sustainable production in a changing environment

Changing environmental conditions necessitate adaptations in Scottish agriculture. This project investigates the development of crop species that are resilient to combinations of environmental stresses whilst using resources more efficiently. We test the hypothesis that utilisation of latent diversity in crop species can improve both resource efficiency and stress tolerance.

Monitoring the environmental impact of controlled environment agriculture

Vertical farming is an emerging food manufacturing process with potential to change how food is produced and distributed in rural and (peri)urban areas. Reliable food production and significantly reduced inputs as well as waste makes the approach a prospectively valuable option for food producers. This project is establishing baseline energy use, greenhouse gas emissions and inputs and outputs for vertical farming and comparing them to alternative and established production systems.

Co-designing and implementing best-fit farming practices

The project assesses the influence of trigger events on basic and best-fit practices. New approaches for influencing farmer behaviour are being co-designed with farmers and industry stakeholders, empirically tested through applied agroecology, parasitology and experimental economics, and promoted through on-farm demonstrations, workshops, training events and multimedia campaigns.

Incentivising resilient and innovative food supply chains and sustainable consumer choices

This project is increasing our understanding of increasing production and use of Scotland’s fruit and vegetables through a multidisciplinary, systems-led approach examining production, supply and distribution. The project focuses on scientific practices underpinning sustainable agroecology and draw in external stakeholders and socio-technical innovations along food supply chains.
