Welcome to the Division of Plant and Crop Sciences

 

The Plant and Crop Sciences Division is internationally acclaimed as a centre for fundamental and applied research underpinning our understanding of agriculture, food production and quality, and the natural environment.

The Division contains the Nottingham Arabidopsis Stock Centre (NASC) and plays a major part in the Centre for Plant Integrative Biology (CPIB). We are located in the Plant Sciences building and also in the South Laboratory Building at the Sutton Bonington campus.  Undergraduate and postgraduate teaching takes place at the University Park and Sutton Bonington campuses.

Plant and crop science researchers collaborate extensively in six structured themed areas of plant and crop science research. We also have close research and teaching links with colleagues in the School of Biosciences at the University of Nottingham's campus in Malaysia.

Head of Plant and Crop Sciences: Graham Seymour  
Deputy Head of Plant and Crop Sciences: Mike Holdsworth
