PhD Studentship: Signalling Mechanism Enhancing Root Nodule Symbiosis
4 months ago
Primary supervisor - Dr Myriam Charpentier
Nitrogen (N) acquisition is fundamental for plant growth. However, N is poorly available in soils, leading to extensive and costly chemical fertiliser applications. It is estimated that 50-70% of nitrogen-derived fertilizer provided to the soil is lost, giving rise to soil and water pollution as well as global warming through emissions of nitrous oxide. Lowering fertilizer input and breeding crops with better nitrogen use efficiency is one of the main goals of plant nutrition research.
Soil microbes such as endosymbionts provide an important source of natural fertilizers for crops. Notably legume form root nodule symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing bacteria that improve their nitrogen uptake directly, and the nutrient uptake for subsequent crops indirectly by generating a soil-enhancing green manure. Thus, the use of root endosymbionts as natural sources of fertilizers can form part of the solution to reduce chemical fertilizer inputs.
By combining the state-of-the-art techniques in cell biology, genetics, molecular biology and proteomic, this project aims at characterizing a novel signalling pathway modulating root nodule symbiosis. The insights gained from this project will deliver unique knowledge to develop strategy aiming at enhancing root nodule symbiosis and, thus optimizing nitrogen nutrition, whilst ensuring long-term agricultural sustainability. To achieve this goal, the student will be part of an enthusiastic and collegial team within an international and vibrant scientific environment gathering cutting-edge research facilities and training opportunities.
The Norwich Research Park (NRP) Biosciences Doctoral Training Programme (DTP) is offering fully-funded studentships for October 2024 entry. The programme offers postgraduates the opportunity to undertake a 4-year PhD research project whilst enhancing professional development and research skills through a comprehensive training programme. You will join a vibrant community of world-leading researchers. All NRPDTP students undertake a three-month professional internship placement (PIPS) during their study. The placement offers exciting and invaluable work experience designed to enhance professional development. Full support and advice will be provided by our Professional Internship team. Students with, or expecting to attain, at least an upper second class honours degree, or equivalent, are invited to apply.
This project has been shortlisted for funding by the NRPDTP. Shortlisted applicants will potentially be interviewed on 4, 5, and 6 June 2024.
