Description du sujet de thèse
Cell division in plants relies on the formation and precise insertion of a cell plate, a process that is still poorly understood. Preliminary data suggest that the phosphatase SAC9, regulating the phosphoinositide PI(4,5)P₂, plays a central role in defining the insertion site of this plaque. This project aims to elucidate how SAC9 and membrane lipids interact with key players in intracellular trafficking, such as Rab-E GTPases and the TRAPPII complex, to guide the cell plaque to the plasma membrane. Combining genetics, advanced imaging and biochemical analyses, this thesis will explore the lipid and protein mechanisms governing this process essential to plant development.
Contexte de travail
The RDP (Reproduction et Développement des Plantes) laboratory is a joint research unit under the auspices of CNRS, INRAE, ENS de Lyon, UCBL and INRIA, comprising 8 research teams (around 120 people). The laboratory is located on the Monod site of the ENS de Lyon. The student will be attached to the SiCe team. The candidate will be working in a research team and will be expected to get involved in the organization and present results at meetings.
