	Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) is a British Research Council supporting several scientific research institutes and university research departments in the UK.
		Receiving its funding through the Office of Science and Innovation (formerly the Office of Science and Technology), the BBSRC's responsibility is to increase basic knowledge and understanding in biology and develop biological technology and applications.
		BBSRC is managed by the BBSRC Council consisting of a chairman (currently Dr Peter Ringrose), a chief executive (Professor Julia Goodfellow) and from ten to eighteen representatives from British universities, government and industry.

	Agricultural and Food Research Council - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Agricultural and Food Research Council (AFRC), was a British Research Council responsible for funding and managing scientific and technological developments in farming and horticulture.
		The AFRC was formed in 1983 from its predecessor, the Agricultural Research Council (ARC).
		It was replaced by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) as a result of government reorganisation in 1994.

		The scientific remit of the GDB is to "support research which seeks to establish fundamental principles of genetics and gene function in all organisms, or which seeks to understand developmental mechanisms in animals, plants and model microbes including fungi".
		It was formed in 1994 by the incorporation of the former Agricultural and Food Research Council with the biotechnology and biological sciences programmes of the former Science and Engineering Research Council.
		The main purpose of the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) is to assess the quality of research in universities and colleges in the UK to enable the higher education funding bodies to selectively distribute public funds for research.

		Dr Alison Smith, one of the research leaders at the University of Cambridge, said, "What these observations demonstrate is that, although algae live by harvesting the sun's energy through photosynthesis, many of them are like animals in that they need another organism to supply them with a vital nutrient.
		Research into fundamental relationships and microscopic bacteria may not seem important at first but it is only by improving our understanding at this level that we can discover how to maintain the health of ecosystems at a global level."

		Using model plant species, such as the tiny weed Arabidopsis, the researchers have uncovered one of the processes used by the plants to protect themselves from potentially lethal environmental conditions.
		The scientists, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), have found that plants are able to turn unwanted absorbed light into heat by altering the structure of one of the proteins in these membranes.
		The researchers have been working with agricultural institutes in South America and the Asia to start to work out how their knowledge of the defence mechanisms in model plants such as Arabidopsis could be used to improve the photosynthesis rates of staple crops such as rice and the common bean.
