The Centre for Native Floriculture (CNF) is based at the University of Queensland’s Gatton Campus within the School of Land, Crop and Food Sciences. The CNF’s research is focused on identifying and developing new floricultural products. The project focus is on Betalain pigments which are only found in a small number of plant species.
The aims are to understand the roles that these pigments play in responding to environmental stresses, and to clone novel pigment synthesis genes for the future modification of flower and foliage colour in ornamental plants. Applicants are required to have a first class or high 2A honours degree, or equivalent, in plant biology, preferably with a background in plant molecular biology, biochemistry or physiology. Please refer to PDF for more information.
This scholarship is offered once only to one person. Open for applications until March 23, 2009.
