摘要：

Understanding the effects of abiotic stress during seed development on the physiological and molecular changes occurring during dry storage of seeds

Description

A full-time Postdoctoral Research Associate position in Seed Biology is available at Université Pierre & Marie Curie (Paris, France). The Postdoc will be funded by the Seventh Framework Program KBBE within the European project "EcoSeed: Impacts of Environmental Conditions on Seed Quality" involving 11 different partners in Europe. Seed quality is of paramount importance to agriculture, food security and the conservation of wild species. Seed quality is strongly influenced by the environmental stresses experienced by the mother plant. The looming challenges of climate change and food security require new knowledge of how stress impacts on seed quality, as well as a re-appraisal of optimal storage conditions. EcoSeed addresses these challenges by bringing together a group of distinguished European experts in seed science and converging sciences to characterise seed quality and resilience to perturbation. EcoSeed combines state-of the-art"omics" and post-"omics" approaches, such as DNA repair, oxidative and post-translational modifications to macromolecules, to define regulatory switchboards that underpin the seed phenotype. Special emphasis is placed on the stress signalling hub that determines seed fate from development, through storage, germination and seedling development, with a particular focus on seed after-ripening, vigour, viability and storability. The PostDoc project will aim to understand how the effects of abiotic stress experienced during seed development on the mother plant influences the physiological changes (dormancy, longevity, vigour) occurring during dry storage of seeds. The candidate will address issues of EcoSeed project related to post-transcriptionnal regulation of seed germination, in relation with oxidative signaling.
