As a result of the climate crisis, global warming is likely to cause abrupt changes to important algal communities because of shifting biodiversity 'breakpoint’ boundaries in the oceans – according to research from the University of East Anglia and the Earlham Institute.

This year Earlham Institute’s Plant Genomics Group will be taking part in the eMonogram Conference, hosted by The James Hutton Institute and the University of Dundee

A new UK centre of excellence is being set up by partners on the Norwich Research Park to improve global food security which is threatened by the effects of climate change.

Plants have the same variation in body clocks as that found in humans, according to new research that explores the genes governing circadian rhythms in plants.

Earlham Institute researchers have applied expertise in genomics and bioinformatics to give us the most detailed insight into wheat genetics yet. The findings, published in Nature, will help ensure food security for years to come.

Genetic mutations which allowed microalgae (phytoplankton) from the Southern Ocean to adapt to extreme and highly variable climates help us understand how polar organisms are impacted by climate change.
