Title: Dr. Job Title: Associate Dean for Undergraduate Teaching Tel: Tel. +44 1524 593598 Fax: Email: j.e.taylor@lancaster.ac.uk Building: C28 Engineering, Faculty of Science and Technology, Lancaster University Room Number:
My research interests centre on the molecular changes that underpin plant responses to environmental stress. These can be divided into three areas:
My major focus, in ongoing projects with Dr Nigel Paul and Dr Mike Roberts at Lancaster, is to examine the molecular basis of plant responses to herbivore and pathogen attack via a multidisciplinary approach through the use of molecular, biochemical and physiological studies. In the natural environment these stresses may act simultaneously and a particular focus is to define the signalling events and molecular outcomes in response to multiple stresses.
In addition I currently have collaborations with Prof. Gary Tallman (University of Pepperdine, Oregon, US) investigating the cues that regulate the differentiation of guard cells in culture, and with Prof. Bill Davies examining the intercellular signals that regulate plant growth.
Research in collaboration with Prof. Brian Wynne and Claire Waterton at the ESRC Centre for Economic and Social Aspects of Genomics (CESAGen) aims to examine the practical implications for environmental knowledge and life sciences policy, of commercialization processes within plant genomics research.
