Protecting tomato crops from Fusarium wilt through the efficient application of new genetic resources.
$26,669 per annum for three years (tax free)
Closing Date for Applications: 12/02/2010
The tomato industry is a major horticultural industry in Australia, and Queensland is the major producer of tomatoes for the fresh food market. In Queensland, the tomato industry has expanded in the face of the threat that Fusarium wilt could re-emerge as a major disease problem. This research project will use the latest DNA sequencing technology to generate information about the signalling pathways and genes activated by the tomato I-7 gene for Fusarium wilt resistance and to develop molecular genetic markers for the mapping and marker-assisted breeding of I-7. This research will also examine the timing and effectiveness of resistance conferred by I-7 using a strain of the Fusarium wilt fungus tagged with green fluorescent protein to visualise fungal development inside the plant root. The information gained about I-7 will improve the breeding and durability of resistance to Fusarium wilt in tomato. It will also improve our understanding of the mechanisms used by plants to defend themselves against vascular wilt diseases.
This project is funded by an ARC Linkage Project grant awarded to Dr David Jones, Division of Plant Science, Research School of Biology, The Australian National University, Canberra and Mr Des McGrath, Queensland Plant Industries and Fisheries.
The student appointed to the project will carry out a microscopic analysis of fungal development in resistant and susceptible plants; RNA extraction, cDNA synthesis and next-generation sequencing; bioinformatic analysis of digital gene expression data; SNP identification, marker development and bulk segregant analysis; development of markers for marker-assisted selection of I-7; and the genetic and physical fine mapping of I-7. The student will be based at ANU and will receive training in confocal fluorescence microscopy, molecular biology techniques, bioinformatic analysis and genetic mapping techniques.
Requirements: Applicants should have a relevant First Class Honours degree or equivalent postgraduate qualification with basic skills in molecular biology and bioinformatics and must satisfy the English language requirements for admission to ANU.
Applicants should submit an up-to-date CV, including contact details for two or three academic referees, and a covering letter addressing their suitability for the position to david.jones@anu.edu.au. Applications close February 12, 2010 and the successful applicant would be expected to start as soon as possible after an offer is made.
