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 ...

Systematic analysis of factors controlling meiotic recombination in higher plants (MEIOsys)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2009, Date de fin: 30 juin 2014,
Meiotic recombination has underpinned plant breeding for the generation of new traits of agronomic, environmental and economic importance, although we still have little understanding of the controlling mechanisms involved in this process. We will combine approaches in genomics and systems biology to obtain a detailed understanding of the factors that control recombination and will provide a basis ...

"Improving nutrient efficiency in major European food, feed and biofuel crops to reduce the negative environmental impact of crop production" (NUE-CROPS)
Date du début: 1 mai 2009, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2014,
"The MAIN AIM of the proposed integrating project NUE-CROPS is to develop knowledge, models and tools required to (a) breed/select NUTRIENT USE EFFICIENT (NUE) CROPS and (b) integrate NUE-crops with AGRONOMIC INNOVATIONS to significantly reduce fertiliser use and associated negative environmental impacts of crop production, while maintaining or improving crop yield and quality. The consortium incl ...

Plant Production of Vaccines (PLAPROVA)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2009, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2011,
"Advances in the technologies for expressing proteins and extracting them from plants have allowed several plant-made products to be assessed for safety and efficacy. The results have been favourable and have culminated in the demonstration that plant-produced vaccine can protect target animals against challenge. However, most of these successes have concerned the production of antigens which had ...
