Postgraduate Opportunity (PhD &MSc)

A collaborative project between MIU and MPOB

Systems Biology of Tissue Culture - Derived Oil Palm

SYNOPSIS OF THE PROJECT

Aside from being a boon in creating new varieties for crop improvement, the tissue culture approach can potentially produce abnormal or off-type cultures at various stages of the process. This research will primarily focus on the regeneration stages of the oil palm tissue culture process. In standard operation workflow, cultures undergo strict selection process to weed out off-type cultures (or also known as abnormal cultures) during polyembryoid maintenance, shoot development and root induction stages. In this project, we intend to associate the phenotypes established at these stages to their corresponding transcriptome, epigenome, proteome, and metabolome to enable a better understanding of the mechanisms involved and to utilize this information for future manipulations in oil palm clonal propagation.

Three topics have been identified to realize this project:

1) Leveraging phenomics for the production of quality clones for sustainable oil palm cultivation (PhD)

2) Morphotyping oil palm polyembryoids via omics technology (MSc)

3) Quality assurance of Elaeis guineensis ramets through molecular characterization (MSc)

Students Speak

Here is what our students and alumni have to say...

When I first came to MIU, I got to meet a lot of students from other countries and I got to learn their cultures. I learned how to discipline myself. This is not just a classbased learning programme, it is mainly project-based learning. And through projects we get to learn more about the industry.

Dinesh Mervin
Foundation in Science

I chose biotechnology because there are many fields that require biological processes including agriculture, medical, environmental and others in order to produce new products or improve existing ones that can solve the world problems.

Aileen See Siou Ning
Biotechnology

MIU has a good environment to study. It helps to enhance my knowledge in the business sector. The lecturers are great. They encourage and motivate me to reach my goals. I’m glad that I chose MIU.

Phileas Choong
Foundation in Business Studies

The ambience provided by Manipal makes it really easy to make friends. People fit right in at Manipal.
