BACterial Hosts for production of Bioactive phenolics from bERRY fruits (BacHBerry)
Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,
Plants synthesize a staggering variety of secondary metabolites, and this chemodiversity is a poorly used pool of natural molecules with bioactive properties of importance for applications in the pharma and food industries. BacHBerry focusses on phenolic compounds, a large and diverse class of plant metabolites, which are currently in the spotlight due to their claimed beneficial effects in preven ...

Increasing Sustainability of European Forests: Modelling for Security Against Invasive Pests and Pathogens under Climate Change (ISEFOR)
Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2014,
"European forests are under unprecedented threat from the combined forces of climate change and large increases in the numbers of alien invasive pests and pathogens resulting from changes in patterns of global trade. Interactions between climate change, including likely changes in both mean temperatures and precipitation, will have serious impacts on the susceptibility of forest ecosystems to dama ...

Distributed Dynamic Diversity Databases for Life (4D4Life)
Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Jul 31, 2012,
A coherent classification and species checklist of the world's plants, animals, fungi and microbes is fundamental for accessing information about biodiversity. The Catalogue of Life provides the world with a unique service: a dynamically updated global index of validated scientific names, synonyms and common names integrated within a single taxonomic hierarchy.The Catalogue of Life was initiated a ...

Novel flavour and fragrance molecules from native chinese flora (NFFM)
Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Feb 28, 2010,
This proposal seeks to identify new natural molecules from the Chinese flora that have potential application in the European flavour and fragrance industry. In order to achieve this, the techniques used for extraction, isolation and selection of target compounds must first be substantially improved.Improvements in the isolation, identification and selection of target molecules will be achieved thr ...
