Available PhD research project

Wax biosynthesis and branching development in Brassica napus.

We have screened a mutant with deficient wax biosynthesis and fewer branches of Brassica napus with activation tagging approach. The activated gene or knocked out gens related to the mutant phenotype will cloned by TAIL-PCR approach. And mechanism of wax biosynthesis and branching in Brassica napus will revealed by the methods of bioinformatics, molecular genetics, biochemistry and cell biology. The qualified PhD candidates are welcome to join this project.
