Postdoctoral position on innovative strategies for triploid breeding in banana - Leuven
Alleen voor geregistreerde leden Leuven, België
1 maand geleden
Job summary
The Laboratory for Plant Genetics and Crop Improvement (PGCI) at the Department of Biosystems at KU Leuven studies the genetic and molecular regulation of key reproductive processes in plants with a particular focus on genome stability karyotype change and polyploidy At the more applied side knowledge on the genetic and molecular control of reproductive mechanisms is used as a fundamental basis for developing novel strategies for advanced crop breeding We hereby focus on technologies that accelerate increase of genetic gain in conventional selection-based programs as well as on new innovative biotech strategies such as CRISPR/Cas to directly improve specific crop attributesResponsibilities
- Targeted screening of exogenous factors for their capacity to induce diploid pollen formation in Musa and elucidation of the underlying cellular mechanisms and genetic make-up of resulting 2n pollen
- Identification and characterization of genetic factors controlling reductional meiotic division in Musa as a basis for developing innovative strategies to transiently induce 2n pollen grains
- On site design and practical implementation of methodologies for inducing 2n pollen and obtaining triploid progeny pools for local banana germplasm and parental breeding lines
