FW: PhD Studentship

by Felicidad Fernandez (EMR)

PhD opportunity. Host jump genetics- the mechanisms of pathogen adaptation in Pseudomonas Supervisors- Dr Robert W. Jackson (Reading), Dr Richard Harrison and Dr Laura Lewis (East Malling Research) The mechanism by which pathogens cross species barriers to infect a new host is poorly understood, making the movements of host-jumping pathogens extremely unpredictable. The project offered here will focus on Pseudomonas syringae pathovars, which have made several known host-jumps across economically important crops, including wheat, beans, plum and cherry. The aims of this project are as follows: 1. To sequence the genomes of several Pseudomonas syringae pathovars to assess within and between pathovar diversification in relation to host jump events. 2. To address the hypothesis of whether effectors dictate host specificity and to assess their centrality to host jumping. 3. To initiate a host jump within the laboratory setting and in so doing identify potential causes of host jumping at the molecular level. 4. To link pathogen effectors to resistance relationships in planta to assess whether host-jumping to a new host is modulated by host resistance in the existing host. The project will use next generation sequencing to sequence the genomes of several pathovars of the plant pathogenic species, and will employ comparative genomics to assess the relationship between effector genes, which are required for virulence, and host jumping events. Molecular techniques will be used to recreate host jumps within the laboratory, which will inform us of the driving forces that bring about host jumps, enabling better predictions of which strains are likely to host jump, and which hosts are they likely to jump to. The student will receive training in genomics and genetics, bioinformatics, plant-microbe interactions, and evolution. The supervisory team are starting a new strategic partnership between Reading and East Malling drawing upon resources in both institutions. The team will collaborate with key scientists in each institute; for example, Dr Louise Johnson will provide valuable advice for the evolutionary experiments. Eligibility: Applicants should hold a minimum of a UK Honours Degree at 2:1 level or equivalent in a relevant subject. Please note that due to restrictions on the funding this studentship is for UK/EU applicants only. How to apply: To apply for this studentship please submit an application for a PhD in Molecular Plant Pathology to the University - see http://www.reading.ac.uk/graduateschool/prospectivestudents/gs-how-to-apply… Application Deadline: Friday 15th March 2013 Further Enquiries: Please contact Dr Robert Jackson (r.w.jackson(a)reading.ac.uk) and Dr Richard Harrison (Richard.Harrison(a)emr.ac.uk) Funding Notes: Funding Details: Studentship will cover Home/EU Fees and pay the Research Council minimum stipend (£13,590 for 2011/12) for up to 3 years. The studentship will begin in October 2013. --East Malling Research registered office: New Road, East Malling, Kent ME19 6BJ. Tel. 01732-843833. Registered in England No. 5019373.

Fruits and Roots - 1st announcement and call for papers

by Felicidad Fernandez (EMR)

Dear Sir/Madam, In 2013, East Malling Research will be celebrating 100 years of plant science at this world-famous research institute - science that has shaped the way we understand and can manipulate plants to produce high value, nutritious fruit crops across the globe. To mark this Centenary, East Malling Research is working closely with colleagues at the Association of Applied Biologists (AAB) to organise a two-day international conference on 16-17 April 2013. Entitled, 'Fruit and Roots: A Celebration and Forward Look', this event has confirmed key-note speakers from New Zealand and the United States, as well as the UK. It is with pleasure that I attach a pdf of the first announcement and call for papers. We very much hope that you can circulate or inform Members of the Rosaceae group some of whom we hope will be able to participate in this event through presenting a paper/poster or attending the conference as a delegate. To mark this very special year for East Malling Research, we will be organising a number of other events and activities, and I very much hope that we can look forward to welcoming your Members here during 2013.
