hela Sverige Department of Plant Protection Biology
The Department of Plant Protection Biology is an interdisciplinary constellation with good opportunities for strong research collaborations. Leading edge research is conducted in Resistance Biology, Integrated Plant Protection and Chemical Ecology to develop the understanding and sustainable use and management of biological Resources.
Duties:
There is a need for new sources of resistance in order to counteract the evolution of pathogenic microbes and to develop sustainable agricultural practices. Pivotal in this development is to better understand defence-response mechanisms. To identify new players in plant-pathogen interactions for further functional assessments, we have generated quantitative proteomics data from three different immunity reactions in potato. Now we have data suggesting that three of them are directly involved in immune signalling and stress signalling. One of them seems to be directly involved in the balance between defence and photosynthesis.
The molecular mechanisms at play will be studied and validated by molecular and biological assays, including CRISPR/Cas9. Experiments will mainly be carried out in laboratory and controlled green-house environments, but also in field trials, with both genetically modified (GM) and gene edited plants being used in the field study.
The applicant will be a part of a research group of approximately 5-10 people.
