lang="EN-US">The vascular development
group of Antia Rodriguez-Villalon at ETH-Zurich (Switzerland)
is recruiting one
postdoctoral researcher in the frame of a project addressed to
investigate the
molecular mechanisms regulating phloem formation in <i
class="">Arabidopsis thaliana</i> roots. To become
conductive elements, phloem
cells undergo a programmed cell death-like process by which
they get rid of the
majority of their organelles, including their nucleus. Yet,
the genes
responsible for the orchestration of such complex process
remain unclear.
Recent findings have demonstrated the importance of
phosphoinositides-a group
of membrane signaling compounds- in controlling such process.
Thus, the
selected postdoc candidate will investigate phosphoinositide
down-stream
targets regulating phloem formation by taking advantage of
genetic and molecular
tools already generated in the lab.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>
