Looking to advance your research career in Plant Science?

The KAUST Plant Science program investigates how plants grow and function under extreme environmental conditions, advancing solutions for sustainable agriculture in arid and changing climates.

Designed for motivated Master’s and Ph.D. students, the program offers hands-on, interdisciplinary research with core strengths in genomics, cell biology, stress biology, and plant physiology.

Students explore plant responses to abiotic stressors like heat, salinity, and drought, as well as biotic interactions with pathogens and symbionts, with the goal of developing resilient crops for future food security.

• Apply for Fall 2026 Master’s or Ph.D. programs by Jan. 17, 2026.

This week, USDA announced it would deregulate the HB4 drought-tolerant wheat from Bioceres. This is a big deal for wheat growers!

Very grateful for this cross-institutional collaboration with https://t.co/2pMaO8jNrW: new genome resources & genes cloned/characterized, and novel insights into wheat's evolutionary history.

[Simon Krattinger @simonkrattinger]

Out now from the Open Wild Wheat Consortium: ‘Origin and evolution of the bread wheat D genome’. 46 Tauschii genomes shed new light on the bread wheat D genome history. Almost 40% of the D genome gene content resulted from secondary hybridization events.
