The successful candidates will participate in the following projects.

Project 1: Biocontrol of Pine Wood Nematode using Metabolites Isolates from Endophytes of Pine Trees

Ÿ   Screening of metabolites isolated from endophyes for nematicidal activity
Ÿ   Isolation and identification of the nematicidal metabolites (NMR)
Ÿ   Metabolic profiling (LC-MS-MS).
Ÿ   Molecular mechanism of thenematicidal metabolites in pine tree

Project 2: Signal Perception and Transduction of Sound Vibration in Arabidopsis
Ÿ   Study on sound wave-mediated epigenetic changes which will include CHIP assay, bisulfite sequencing and small RNA sequencing.
Ÿ   Role of mechano-channel in sound wave perception which will include patch clamp techniques, FRET mediated cytosolic calcium measurement and mutant studies.
Ÿ   Metabolic profiling (LC-MS-MS).
Ÿ   Other molecular and cellular biology works.

Project 3: Viral Vector Construction for Rapid Plant Transformation
Ÿ   Construction and characterization of viral vectors for plant transformation without tissue culture
