Simultaneous multi-pathway engineering in crop plants through combinatorial genetic transformation: Creating nutritionally biofortified cereal grains for food security (BIOFORCE)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2009, Date de fin: 31 mars 2014,
"BIOFORCE has a highly ambitious applied objective: to create transgenic cereal plants that will provide a near-complete micronutrient complement (vitamins A, C, E, folate and essential minerals Ca, Fe, Se and Zn) for malnourished people in the developing world, as well as built-in resistance to insects and parasitic weeds. This in itself represents a striking advance over current efforts to addre ...

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 ...

Novel integrated strategies for worldwide mycotoxin reduction in the food and feed chains (MycoRed)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2009, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2013,
MYCORED aims at developing strategic solutions to reduce contamination by mycotoxins of major concern in economically important food and feed chains. The following toxins and commodities are especially considered in the project: aflatoxins, trichothecenes, zearalenone, fumonisins in wheat/maize food and feed chains; ochratoxin A in the grape-wine and wheat chains; and aflatoxins in the dried fruit ...

"Food shortages, hunger and death in 11th to 13th century Catalonia: an alternative model of analysis for short-term crises" (CRISES)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2008, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2012,
"The research project that we are proposing aims to study the food crises (bad years, food shortages, dearths and famines) and the mortality crises which periodically afflicted Catalan medieval society between the early XIth century and the late XIIIth century. We will attempt to confirm, refute, redefine and perfect the historiographic models which have been constructed to explain their causes, m ...

Stable isotopes and Mediterranean ARidification: Tree Rings in Ecological and Environmental Studies (SMARTREES)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2009, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2012,
"Global climate change, combined with the further increase of atmospheric CO2, is expected to affect plant growth and performance and, as a consequence, the spatial distribution of species in terrestrial ecosystems within the next 50 to 100 years. In the Mediterranean region, the combined impact of current aridity with climate change will particularly threaten forest ecosystems. In addition, globa ...

Engineered Nanoparticle Impact on Aquatic Environments: Structure, Activity and Toxicology (ENNSATOX)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2009, Date de fin: 30 juin 2012,
The use of engineered nanoparticles in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, sensors and many other commercial applications has been growing exponentially over the past decade. EU and Member State’s research into the environmental impact of these materials, particularly in aquatic systems, is at an early stage. ENNSATOX addresses this deficit through a, comprehensive investigation relating the structure and ...
