Urban vertical farming (UVF) is an exciting new development where plants are grown indoors in cities, without using soil and under energy-efficient LED lights. This type of farming can save water and nutrients, eliminate the use of pesticides, reduce land use (so freeing up land for rewilding) and could form the foundation of a resilient new urban economy...

The withdrawal of many approved pesticides has led to the search for alternative plant protection products which leave no residue. This project employs a novel approach to seed treatment combining two strategies, laser treatment and a novel bioactive compound, to disinfect vegetable seeds of seed-borne pathogens, improve germination, seedling establishmen...

The focus of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of innovative diagnostic assays and molecular marker assays for the improvement of salad onion and leek (Allium spp.) seed quality. The project partners are Tozer Seeds Ltd (Cobham, UK), who sell Allium seeds in the UK and export worldwide, and the Seed Science Lab at Royal Holloway University of L...

This project establishes a new collaboration between two partners located in close proximity: Tozer Seeds, an independent British vegetable breeding company; and the internationally leading Seed Biology Group of Prof Gerhard Leubner at Royal Holloway University of London. This project will investigate why the seed quality of salad onions and leeks is some...
