Genetic and Molecular Determinants of Spikelet Survival in Cereal Crops (LUSH SPIKE)

Date du début: 1 juil. 2016, Date de fin: 30 juin 2021,

Meeting the forecasted world demand for food remains a crucial challenge for plant scientists in this century.One promising avenue for improving grain yield of cereal crops, including wheat and barley, involves reducing spikelet mortality. Spikelets, the grain-bearing units of cereal spikes, usually form in excess and subsequently abort during development; increased spikelet survival is linked to ...

Control of meiotic recombination: from Arabidopsis to crops (COMREC)

Date du début: 1 nov. 2013, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2017,

"Global population stands at 7 billion and is predicted to reach 9 billion by 2050. It is anticipated that food production will need to increase by at least 50% to meet the demand arising from this increase in population. This will require a sustained improvement in crop yield. The nature of this challenge is exacerbated by the likely impact of climate change. These factors combine to make Food Se ...

Chromatin in Plants – European Training and Mobility (CHIP-ET)

Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2017,

"The Research Training Network CHIP-ET will focus on the study of protein complexes that modulate chromatin structure to activate RNA polymerase II–mediated transcription. Research will address how developmental and environmental stimuli such as light and circadian rhythm signal to these complexes to modulate transcription. The interactome of the complexes will be determined, as well as their geno ...

Impacts of Environmental Conditions on Seed Quality (EcoSeed)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2016,

"Seed quality is of paramount importance to agriculture, food security and the conservation of wild species. Considerable economic losses result from sub-optimal seed performance, undermining food security and livelihoods. Seed quality is strongly influenced by the environmental stresses experienced by the mother plant. Climate change will further exacerbate economic losses and decrease the predic ...

European Plant Phenotyping Network (EPPN)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2012, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,

The ability to quantitatively analyze plant phenotypic traits (from single cells to plant and stand level) and their dynamic responses to the environment is an essential requirement for genetic and physiological research, and the cornerstone for enabling applications of scientific findings to bioeconomy. Whereas molecular profiling technologies allow today the generation of a large amount of data ...

Genetics and physiology of wheat development to flowering: tools to breed for improved adaptation and yield potential (ADAPTAWHEAT)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2012, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,

"ADAPTAWHEAT will show how flowering time variation can be exploited for the genetic improvement of the European wheat crop to optimise adaptation and performance in the light of predicted climate change. It will test current hypotheses that postulate specific changes in ear emergence and the timing and duration of developmental phases, which are thought of as components of ear emergence, will i ...

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 ...

Chromosome elimination in plant wide hybrids – explaining the phenomenon and applying lessons from a model system in Hordeum to problems of speciation, gene introgression and breeding new crop plants (Chromelim)

Date du début: 7 sept. 2008, Date de fin: 6 sept. 2009,

Complete uniparental chromosome elimination occurs in some plant interspecific and intergeneric hybrid combinations. This phenomenon precludes viable hybrids from developing and results in haploid embryo formation of only one of the parents. It is, therefore, a major barrier for introgressing desirable traits from wild species into crop plants and breeding new crop species. We will investigate sel ...
