BRAssinosteroid Venture Increasing StudentS' International MObility (BRAVISSIMO)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

"A future challenge for the European agriculture is to satisfy the growing demands for food in a sustainable manner. Understanding the basic mechanics of plant growth will ultimately lead to our ability to increase yield, while decreasing the need for fertilizer and pesticides. Plant growth is regulated by developmental programmes that can be modified by environmental cues acting through endogenou ...

Plasma membrane to nucleus trafficking of the transcriptional co-activator BRX - characterization of a novel hormone signaling pathway in plants (BRXTRAFFIC)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2011,

"A major question in biology is how external and internal cues are perceived by the organism and translated into an adequate response at the cellular level. For instance, organ growth in plants involves a phase of cell expansion, which requires extensive rearrangement of cell wall structure and is triggered by systemic cues, such as phytohormones. The complex topic how such cues are interpreted is ...

Dissecting the molecular basis of deleterious genetic interactions involving naturally occurring alleles in Arabidopsis (NATSYNTHLETHALARA)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2010,

"Natural genetic variation within populations largely determines phenotypic variation and is increasingly recognized as a critical factor in such diverse contexts as crop productivity or human disease susceptibility. For instance, diseases can be considered as quantitative traits, with disease occurring beyond a certain boundary along a spectrum. Whether a given allele confers a disease burden can ...
