Postdoctoral Researcher in Plant Stress and Organic Nitrogen Metabolism Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Sweden

Den här postdoktorstjänsten vid Institutionen för skogens ekologi och skötsel vid Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet (SLU) i Umeå fokuserar på hur organiskt kväve i växter styrs om från ren tillväxtmetabolism till signalering som påverkar utveckling och stresstolerans. Projektet undersöker kopplingarna mellan metabolism av organiskt kväve, metabolisk reglering och nedströms signalkaskader, samt hur dessa processer hänger samman med växters svar på både abiotisk och biotisk stress. Arbetet kombinerar ...

This postdoctoral project at the Department of Forest Ecology and Management, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), focuses on how organic nitrogen metabolism is redirected into signalling pathways that influence plant development and stress tolerance. The successful candidate will investigate links between organic nitrogen metabolism, metabolic regulation and downstream signalling cascades in plants facing abiotic and biotic challenges, including pathogen attack. The project combin...

PhD position in Yield Stability in Nutritional Crop Physiology is available within the GreenRobust Cluster of Excellence at the University of Hohenheim in Germany. The project is situated in plant science, agriculture, crop physiology, and nutritional crop research, with a focus on understanding and improving the stability of crop yields. This opportunity may suit candidates interested in plant performance, physiological mechanisms, crop productivity, and robust agricultural systems. The post is...

This doctoral project is hosted at the Institute of Integrative Biology of the Cell (I2BC) on the CNRS campus at Gif-sur-Yvette, within a collaborative research network involving IJPB-INRAE (Versailles) and IGEPP-INRAE (Rennes) . The thesis focuses on how modifying vacuolar nitrate storage can alter nitrogen use efficiency , water use efficiency , and tolerance to water stress in Arabidopsis thaliana . The work centers on the nitrate transporter CLCa and asks how changing nitrate storage in diff...

The doctoral project focuses on RNA-based crop protection in two important pathosystems: wheat and potato. The central idea is to use spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS) , where externally applied double-stranded RNA is used to reduce the expression of selected pathogen genes and thereby limit disease development. In wheat, the project aims to establish SIGS against Septoria tritici blotch caused by Zymoseptoria tritici . In potato, the work builds on ongoing research on late blight caused by Ph...
