Postdoktor inom organisk kvävemetabolism och växters stressrespons Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Sweden

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...

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...
