Drought-tolerant yielding plants (DROPS)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2010, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
DROPS will develop novel methods and strategies aimed at yield maintenance under fluctuating water deficit and at enhanced plant water-use efficiency. We deal with high genotype x environment interaction in the field (any trait can have positive, negative or no effect depending on drought scenarios) with an approach combining Physiology, Genetics, field testing and Ecophysiological modelling. The ...

Trans-national Infrastructure for Plant Genomic Science (transPLANT)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2011, Date de fin: 31 août 2015,
Food and energy security are major challenges facing humanity in the coming decades. The falling costs of nucleotide sequencing are opening up significant opportunities for crop improvement through plant breeding and increased understanding of plant biology; in particular through interpreting the growing volume of plant genomics data in the context of phenotype. However, at present, there is no a ...

Aquired Environmental Epigenetics Advances: from Arabidopsis to maize (AENEAS)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2009, Date de fin: 31 mars 2013,
This proposal, entitled “Acquired Environmental Epigenetics Advances: from Arabidopsis to maize” (acronym: AENEAS), aims to assess the impact of environmental conditions on epigenetic states in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and then transfer knowledge to maize (Zea mays): an important European crop. Advances in understanding the detailed mechanisms of epialleles formation in response to env ...

Recombination: an old and new tool for plant breeding (RECBREED)
Date du début: 1 mars 2009, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2013,
Successful and efficient plant breeding depends on rapid recombination of advantageous traits to form new crop varieties. In recent years new breeding techniques have been introduced which rely on transgenic alteration of somatic cells and regeneration into plants with novel properties. The precision and effectiveness of both strategies rely upon homologous recombination (HR). The objective of thi ...

Genomics for Triticeae improvement (TriticeaeGenome)
Date du début: 1 juin 2008, Date de fin: 31 mai 2012,
For many years the size and complexity of the wheat, barley and rye genomes have hampered the development of genomics and its application to produce Triticeae crops with improved composition and characteristics. Recently, however, new and more efficient scientific capabilities and resources have been developed that allows robust genomic programs to be established for the Triticeae. TriticeaeGenome ...
