The Plant Cell Wall Training Consortium (WallTraC)
Date du début: 1 juin 2011, Date de fin: 29 févr. 2016,
"Plant cell walls constitute a highly complex and dynamic entity of extreme importance in plant growth and development. Growing cell walls can be considered as ""fibre composites"", where cellulose microfibrils are embedded in a matrix of complex glycans. It is becoming increasingly apparent (i) that cell wall glycans are diverse in structural terms, (ii) that these structures are developmentally ...

Metabolic Reprogramming by Induction of Transcription (MERIT)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2011, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2014,
Plants continually monitor the environment to modify physiology and development at the molecular level to ensure maximal fitness. Central in the signaling network is the SnRK1 kinases (homologous to AMPK and SNF1 in mammals and yeast respectively). These kinases are vital to the energy balance of the organism and regulate primary metabolism by controlling transcription factors, which control the e ...

Industrial Crops producing added value Oils for Novel chemicals (ICON)
Date du début: 1 mars 2008, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2013,
Replacing fossil oil with renewable resources is perhaps the most urgent need and the most challenging task that human society faces today. Cracking fossil hydrocarbons and building the desired chemicals with advanced organic chemistry usually requires many times more energy than is contained in the final product. Thus, using plant material in the chemical industry does not only replace the fossil ...

Chloroplast Signals (COSI)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2008, Date de fin: 30 juin 2012,
"COSI integrates young researchers in a network of 10 leading European research centres, including Bayer BioScience as industrial partner. We aim at identification of regulatory principles governing chloroplast metabolism, a crucial factor for agricultural productivity. Specifically we want to identify chloroplast-related protein kinases and their targets and associated calcium signals. A long ter ...
