Offer Description

KEY WORDS: Medicago truncatula, ABCG transporters, phytohormones, membrane transport, seed germination, genetic engineering, confocal microscopy.

 

Principal Investigator: Prof. dr hab. Michał Jasiński 

 

Research topic: We would like to offer the position of Assistant Professor (Post-Doc) within the OPUS 24 project (2022/47/B/NZ9/00443) entitled "Characterization of full size ABCG transporters present in Medicago truncatula seeds.”, funded by the National Science Center. With consideration of recent findings that ABC transporters may be involved in translocation of phytohormones as well as observed their organ specialization we aim at detailed studies of Medicago selected ABCG transporters with a special emphasis on function of these proteins in seed development. By broad and multiple analyses including reverse genetic, genetic manipulation, in vitro cultures, comprehensive transcriptomic/metabolomic approaches and membrane transport experiments we would like to decipher how action of them impacts readout of phytohormones signaling during seed  development/maturation/germination in Medicago truncatula.
