Improving the resistance of legume crops to combined abiotic and biotic stress (ABSTRESS)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
ABSTRESS applies combined, integrated systems biology and comparative genomics approaches to conduct a comprehensive study of the gene networks implicated in the interaction of drought stress and Fusarium infection in legumes. It uses Medicago truncatula as a model to rapidly identify characteristics for introgression into elite pea varieties and a field test of their performance against existing ...

Technological platform to develop nutritional additives to reduce methane emissions from ruminants (SMEthane)
Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2012,
This proposal aims to provide a technological platform for SME’s to develop and progress further knowledge on the successful use of nutritional additives to reduce methane (CH4) emissions from ruminants: SMEthane. CH4 is the second most important greenhouse gas, after CO2. At a global scale, livestock farming contributes up to 18% of total greenhouse gas emissions. The inhibition of CH4 formation ...
