Ensuring the Integrity of the European food chain (FOODINTEGRITY)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2018,
Food Integrity “the state of being whole, entire, or undiminished or in perfect condition”.Providing assurance to consumers and other stakeholders about the safety, authenticity and quality of European food (integrity) is of prime importance in adding value to the European Agri-food economy. The integrity of European foods is under constant threat from fraudulently labelled imitations that try to ...

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 ...

Linking the clock to metabolism (TiMet)
Date du début: 1 mars 2010, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2015,
Optimal plant growth requires the orchestration of carbon metabolism over the day-night cycle, to avoid periods of starvation at night. Metabolism and growth at night are fueled by carbohydrates released by degradation of starch, synthesised from photosynthesis in the preceding day. Starch synthesis and degradation are regulated such that starch reserves are almost but not quite exhausted at the e ...

BIOchemical and genetic dissection of control of plant mineral NUTrition (BIONUT)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2011, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2014,
The main objective of BIONUT-ITN is to provide state-of-the-art training for young researchers in the highly strategic field of plant nutrition and productivity through an international programme of research, training and transfer of knowledge. The interdisciplinary training will include biochemical and genetic technology in the laboratory with field agronomy and high throughput phenotyping techno ...

Rational design of plant systems for sustainable generation of value-added industrial products (SmartCell)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2009, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2013,
Plants sustainably produce low levels of secondary metabolites of high industrial value. However, they are often too complex to be economically manufactured by chemical synthesis. Advanced metabolic engineering and exploitation of plants as Green Factories has been prevented due to poorly understood metabolic pathways in plants and the regulation thereof. SmartCell brings together 14 leading Europ ...

PP2C phosphatases as regulators in development and stress-pathways: Identification of protein complexes and molecular pathways by (phospho)proteomics/metabolomics (ProMet)
Date du début: 1 mars 2009, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2011,
Protein phosphorylation has been recognized as one of the most versatile mechanisms that underpin several critical adaptive and developmental processes in plants serving as fast and accurate process to message signals within the cells to generate nuclear responses. Advances in functional dissection of canonical signalling pathways demonstrate that protein phosphatases and their substrate kinases a ...
