Research Positions in Tomato Functional Genomics and Metabolomics
At University of Hyderabad, we are having a vibrant group on Tomato Functional
Genomics, which is working on TILLING (Targeting Induced Local Lesions IN Genomes), Insertional Mutagenesis, proteomics and fruit ripening in tomato. Some of the current aims of the group include using reverse genetics to isolate tomato mutants delayed in ripening, having high lycopene and folate content in tomato fruits and analysis of light and hormonal signal transduction pathways. For recent publications of the group see (Plant Physiol 156: 1424-1438; Molecular Plant 3: 854-869; Plant Methods 6: 3; Plant Methods 5:18; Plant Signaling and Behavior 5:11.).

Currently we have research associate
positions available under “Tomato Metabolome Network” (ToMaNet) funded
by Dept of Biotechnology under following projects entitled
“Biofortification of tomato by targeted manipulation of the biosynthetic
pathways” under supervision of Prof. R.P. Sharma, and “Interaction
between Proteome and Metabolome Networks during Tomato Fruit Ripening”
under supervision of Dr. Y Sreelakshmi at Dept of Plant Sciences, School
of Life Sciences, University of Hyderabad. The research associate would
be offered fellowships of Rs 24,000/- pm + HRA. The qualifications for
the Research
Associate Positions are as follows:
