Project: Functional dissection of a conserved systemic block governing seed nitrogen quality in soybean
Identify and characterise amino acid transporter genes associated with nitrogen transport and redistribution in soybean. Bioshell will be used to perform computationally intensive analyses including comparative genomics, RNA-sequencing data analysis, phylogenetic reconstruction and genome-wide functional annotation
