Frederiksberg C
Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences (PLEN), Faculty of Science at the University of Copenhagen (UCPH) is offering a PhD scholarship in Plant Science commencing 01.11.2019 or as soon as possible thereafter.
Description of the scientific environment
The research group aims at understanding the mechanisms of short- and long distance communication in plants and is part of the section of transport biology within PLEN. Cell-to-cell and vascular transport are studied using advanced microscopic methods such as confocal live microscopy, super resolution and electron microscopy. The supervisor has a strong collaboration with the group of Tomas Bohr, Technical University of Denmark (DTU) that covers the question of resistance of solute transport across membranes and plasmodesmata with focus the question of nutrient and sugar transport in trees.
Project description
The project “Multimodal imaging and modelling of vascular flows in leaves”, granted by the Independent Research Fund Denmark (Natural Sciences), supports the collaboration between UCPH and DTU with one PhD fellow each. The successful UCPH candidate will study the balance of water movement between evaporation, photosynthesis and osmotic phloem uptake. This balance is crucial in plants, since water is a limiting resource; but how this balance is regulated under changing environmental conditions is not understood. Key elements of the regulation are hidden in the leaves. This project aims at uncovering the flow control points by multimodal and live imaging (X-ray tomography, fluorescence and electron microscopy) and compare the experimental results with results based on the modelling developed by the DTU candidate with Tomas Bohr as supervisor. Our joint goal is to understand the mechanism and efficiency of the combined vascular flow, eventually exporting sugars out of the leaves.
Principal supervisor is Prof. Dr. Alexander Schulz, Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, [email protected], Direct Phone: +45 35333350
