***Temporary contract | 24 months | Belvaux Are you passionate about research? So are we! Come and join us***
The Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) is a Research and Technology Organization (RTO) active in the fields of materials, environment and IT. By generating relevant scientific knowledge and converting knowledge into technologies, smart data and tools, LIST empowers citizens in their choices, public authorities in their decisions and businesses in their strategies.
Trees and particularly the conifers of northern hemisphere play crucial roles for the terrestrial carbon (C) cycle. However, a general understanding of fundamental C-fluxes between cells and tissues within plant organs is largely lacking. In an increasingly stressing environment, such science is needed for assessing the ability of different plants to maintain their cellular homeostasis.
In the framework of the interdisciplinary research project microC-flux (https://www.wsl.ch/en/projects/diel-c-fluxes-within-needles-from-conifer-trees), we use cutting edge technology to investigate the dynamics of freshly assimilated carbon and its transport from the assimilation sites in mesophyll of conifer needles, through the transfer tissues, to the phloem export sites and further, towards other tree organs. In collaboration with the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL, we combine pulse-chase tracer experiments with quantitative microscopical analysis and physics-based modelling to understand how conifers solve the challenge of solute transport against the flow of water through the needle, and what anatomical and functional features are key for resistance to drought.
Do you want to know more about LIST? Check our website: https://www.list.lu
How will you contribute?
Building on the extensive experimental data gathered and processed by a doctoral candidate in the project, you will extend the existing open-source Model of Explicit Cross-section Hydraulic Anatomy (MECHA) to simulate water and solute transport in pine needles and explicitly represent starch pool dynamics in the 1) mesophyll, 2) the inner tissues within the vascular bundle and 3) the endodermis as the tissue at the interface between the vascular bundle and mesophyll. In its original version, MECHA simulates water and solute transport as a 3-dimensional process, differentiating between apoplastic and symplastic transport. Since MECHA was originally developed to simulate water and solute transport in roots, part of this task will be to introduce gaseous transport of water and CO2, and transitory starch pools. Model development will be performed in collaboration with the developers of MECHA at UC Louvain and plant ecophysiologists and anatomists at WSL, necessitating episodic visits to Louvain-la-Neuve and Switzerland. You will share the model code in the public domain and publish scientific papers in reputed journals on the insights gained through the model-assisted hypothesis testing performed in the microC-flux project.
