Bio
He sits on the Science Boards of The Centre for Fertilization and Plant Nutrition (Israel) and The International Magnesium Institute (China). He has been Consultant to the Universities of Nottingham and Warwick, to Defra (UK), to The World Bank and to the FAO/IAEA for projects related to plant mineral nutrition and the biofortification of edible crops. He has served on many committees, including those assessing the quality of research in UK Higher Education Institutions (REF2014).
Current research interests
He is engaged on projects addressing plant mineral nutrition, from the genes to the harvest, collaborating closely with Tim George, Lionel Dupuy, Martin Broadley (University of Nottingham), John Hammond (University of Reading), Chunjian Li (China Agricultural University) and Lei Shi (Huazhong Agricultural University). His research encompasses three broad aims.
The first aim is to optimise the use of mineral fertilisers in crop production and, thereby, reduce fertiliser inputs and pollution. In recent years, this work has focused on improving the phosphorus (P) nutrition of both horticultural and arable crops and has included the development of molecular diagnostics for P-starvation, the identification of P-efficient varieties, and the trialling of sustainable P-fertilisers.
The second aim is to reduce the entry of toxic elements into the food chain. This work has focused on identifying the molecular mechanisms by which radioisotopes and toxic elements are accumulated by plants, and developing strategies to reduce their concentrations in edible tissues.
The third aim is to improve the nutritional quality of edible crops through their biofortification with essential nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, selenium and zinc. These collaborative projects include the development of commercial products and intervention studies.
