Novel variation in plant breeding and the plant pan-genomes (NOVABREED)
Start date: Jul 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2017,
"The analysis of variation in plants has revealed that their genomes are characterised by high levels of structural variation, consisting of both smaller insertion/deletions, mostly due to recent insertions of transposable elements, and of larger insertion/deletion similar to those termed in humans Copy Number Variants (CNVs). These observations indicate that a single genome sequence might not ref ...

Combining innovation in vineyard management and genetic diversity for a sustainable European viticulture (INNOVINE)
Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
"The strategic goal of the project is to help the European vineyard sector facing the increasingly global competition by meeting:* Consumer demands for diversified high quality wines and concerns for food safety* Citizens’ requests for environment-friendly production systems involving decreased or no use of pesticides and spare of not renewable natural resources* Producers’ needs of plant material ...

Enhancing Poplar Traits for Energy Applications (ENERGYPOPLAR)
Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,
"Green plants application is being promoted through different European directives, which aim to achieve 5.75% of liquid fuel supply by 2010 and 20% by 2020. Liquid fuels derived from cellulosic biomass offer an important alternative to conventional energy sources to reduce Europe’s dependence on fossil fuels. Trees are attractive dedicated energy crops because they display a wide range of growth h ...

Genomics for Triticeae improvement (TriticeaeGenome)
Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 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 ...
