Comparative multiomics analysis of germination deffects in wheat

Edith Cowan University, Australia

Updated: 8 months ago
Location: Mount Lawley, WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Deadline: ;

Project Outline:

This project aims to investigate the underlying genetic and molecular mechanism of late-maturity amylase (LMA) that downgrade wheat grain quality by analysing a range of susceptible and resistant cultivars using multi-omics (transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics) approach. The research student will work with scientists from CSIRO and ECU, and have the opportunity to be trained on cutting edge mass spectrometry-based proteomics and bioinformatics techniques.

Project Area:Grain multiomics

Desired Skills: We are looking for a student who wants to work with a multidisciplinary team to learn and develop skills in mass spectrometry-based proteomics, 'omics data analysis and integration. Anyone with a basic understanding of cereal or plant biochemistry and interested to develop skills in large-scale data analysis would be preferable candidate.

Supervisor(s): Dr Utpal Bose, Dr Angela Juhasz, Professor Michelle Colgrave

Project level: Honours / Masters

Funding: External funding for research is available. All consumables and instrumentation are available through the supervisor.

Start date: 2023
