This PhD studentship will study root architecture and root function to assess the impact of root development on water and nutrient uptake to understand water and nutrient use efficiencies in apple. The student will use existing segregating seedling mapping populations to assess seedling root architecture and root development in several populations, with the aim of developing molecular markers for important root traits. In addition, root architecture will be explored in relation to root physiology and soil management techniques, including nutrient use efficiency.

该博士生将研究根系构型和根系功能，以评估根系发育对水分和养分吸收的影响，从而了解苹果的水分和养分利用效率。学生将使用现有的分离苗木图谱群体来评估几个群体的苗木根系结构和根系发育，目的是为重要的根系性状开发分子标记。此外，还将探讨与根系生理和土壤管理技术有关的根构型，包括养分利用效率。
