MEthane goes MObile - MEasurements and MOdelling (MEMO2)
Date du début: 1 mars 2017, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2021,
Mitigation of climate change is a key scientific and societal challenge and also a headline target of the EU2020 strategy. Strong reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are necessary to reach the global warming target agreed on at the 2015 United Nations Convention of Parties in Paris. Such emission reductions can only be achieved if sources are properly quantified and mitigation efforts are verif ...

Honeybee communication: animal social learning at the height of social complexity (BeeDanceGap)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2016, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2021,
Learning from others is fundamental to ecological success across the animal kingdom, but a key theme to emerge from recent research is that individuals respond differently to social information. Understanding this diversity is an imposing challenge, because it is hard to replicate the overwhelming complexity of free-living groups within controlled laboratory conditions. Yet here I propose that one ...

Analysis of the regulation of stress tolerance and growth to improve stress responses under water scarcity in crops (ReadyToGo)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2016, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2018,
Drought is a major constraint on crop production and food security. Plant adaptation to water scarcity induces stress responses and the reduction of shoot growth to preserve and redistribute resources. Abscisic acid (ABA) and jasmonate (JA) signalling pathways are central to modulate growth rate to match the environment. This involves a transient growth arrest upon drought, an ambivalent so called ...
