Please BOOST : There is still time (until next Wednesday 18 June) for any interested master student to apply for the doctoral thesis in #Forest #Ecophysiology on the subject of "Defining functional strategies at the whole-plant level by integrating traits related to carbon acquisition and water use in seedlings of Fagaceae" that we offer here in Nancy.
More explicitely, this thesis is about #drought responses of #tree seedlings, considering all organs and many #FunctionalTraits , but somewhat focused on #CarbonAllocation, #WaterUseEfficiency and #PlantHydraulics .
The thesis takes place close to Nancy, East of France, in the #INRAe campus which is at the edge of a very nice forest. The student will work in our very active tree ecophysiology group (PHARE) of the Silva unit. More information can be found on the Silva website :

And don't hesitate to BOOST and share in your networks. Thanks !

Thesis grant functional strategies - UMR Silva

DEFINING FUNCTIONAL STRATEGIES AT THE WHOLE-PLANT LEVEL BY INTEGRATING TRAITS RELATED TO CARBON ACQUISITION AND WATER USE IN SEEDLINGS OF FAGACEAE

Eight projects awarded within KIC call Key Technologies | NWO

Within the call 'Key Technologies (KIC)', eight research projects have been awarded grants. Consortia of scientists, companies and civil society organisations will soon start joint research in which fundamental and application-oriented research with the aid of innovative and pioneering technologies plays a central role. The eight projects cover various themes, such as: improving the taste and nutritional value of vegetable proteins, reprogramming the genome with CRISPR-Cas without genetic modifications, making large infrastructural steel constructions use longer and safer, and improving medication safety for patients with multiple chronic diseases. More than 16 million euros is available for the research.
