Highly Efficient and Thermotolerant Wheat (HEAT-WHEAT)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2016, Date de fin: 31 août 2018,
Meeting the needs for a growing food security in a changing climate is currently one the key challenges for agricultural research, particularly theimpact of heat waves on food production. Photosynthesis is arguably the greatest contributor to crop yield and its reduction will severely affect foodproduction. Photosynthesis is highly susceptible to even moderately elevated temperatures and susceptib ...

Chromatin in Plants – European Training and Mobility (CHIP-ET)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2017,
...development and stress tolerance will be analyzed in the Arabidopsis plant model and will then be further tested in maize in order to generate Intellectual Property and licensing opportunities. The Bayer Crop Science industrial partner will modulate these genes in canola (oilseed rape) in order to improve field performance and yield. Four research objectives have been defined: (1) Biochemistry and ...

Calcium- and light signals in photosynthetic organisms (CALIPSO)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2017,
...fic expertise combined with industrial applications is one of the major strengths of CALIPSO, exposing the participating researchers to different “schools of thought”. The active participation of Bayer CropScience Gent and Ecoduna as full network partners, and Photon Systems Instruments as associated partner, will enable intersectorial industry-academia cooperation with the long term objectives of ...

3to4: Converting C3 to C4 photosynthesis for sustainable agriculture (3TO4)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2012, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2016,
Most plants use the C3 pathway of photosynthesis that is compromised by gross inefficiencies in CO2 fixation. However, some plants use a super-charged photosynthetic mechanism called C4 photosynthesis. The C4 pathway is used by the most productive vegetation and crops on Earth. In addition to faster photosynthesis, C4 plants demand less water and less nitrogen. Overall, our aim is to introduce the ...

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 ...
