Development of improved perennial non-food biomass and bioproduct crops for water stressed environments (WATBIO)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2012, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2017,
"The goal of WATBIO is to use the power of next generation sequencing to develop an accelerated route for producing new germplasm with enhanced drought tolerance whilst maintaining biomass productivity and quality in water scarce, marginal environments unsuitable for food crops.This will be achieved for three non-food crops (Populus, Miscanthus and Arundo), suitable for growth on water scarce, mar ...

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 ...

Effects of Climate Change on Air Pollution Impacts and Response Strategies for European Ecosystems (ECLAIRE)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2011, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2015,
ÉCLAIRE investigates the ways in which climate change alters the threat of air pollution on European land ecosystems including soils. Based on field observations, experimental data and models, it establishes new flux, concentration and dose-response relationships, as a basis to inform future European policies.Starting with biosphere-atmosphere exchange measurements, ÉCLAIRE quantifies how global w ...

An assessment of VOC and ozone fluxes in crop plantations from the leaf to the ecosystem level. Relationships with the plant physiology and implications for air quality (CITROVOC)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2009, Date de fin: 29 déc. 2010,
"Citrus plants are largely grown and economically valuable crops in densely inhabited and polluted Mediterranean areas. Citrus species produce and emit VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) which enter gas-phase reactions leading to formation of dangerous levels of atmospheric ozone especially in the presence of anthropogenic pollutants. On the other hand, biogenic VOC destroy ozone at leaf level enhan ...
