From Holocene to Anthropocene: the pace of microevolution in trees (TREEPEACE)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2019,

"There are widespread concerns that trees, due to their long life-span, are not able to cope with the rapid ongoing climate change. While many studies have so far investigated potential impacts of climate change on forests, much less attention has been given to the potential evolutionary responses of tree populations. However there is a large body of evidence stemming from experimental evolutionar ...

"Carbonic anhydrase: where the CO2, COS and H2O cycles meet" (SOLCA)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2019,

"Quantifying the carbon storage potential of terrestrial ecosystems and its sensitivity to climate change relies on our ability to obtain observational constraints on photosynthesis and respiration at large scales. Photosynthesis (GPP), the largest CO2 flux from the land surface, is currently estimated with considerable uncertainty. A recent estimate of global GPP was based on an atmospheric budge ...

Towards the Sustainable Management of Forest Genetic Resources in Europe (FORGER)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

Forest genetic resources (FGR) form the base for adaptation of European forests to future environmental conditions and societal demands. Appropriate use and sustainable management of FGR is therefore of utmost importance. Past decades have shown: (i) an immense progress in detecting patterns of genetic diversity, due to fast technological advances, (ii) increased knowledge on the modelling of resp ...

Promoting a functional and comparative understanding of the conifer genome- implementing applied aspects for more productive and adapted forests (PROCOGEN)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

In the midst of a climatic change scenario, the genetics of adaptive response in conifers becomes essential to ensure a sustainable management of genetic resources and an effective breeding. Conifers are the target of major tree breeding efforts worldwide. Advances in molecular technologies, such as next-generation DNA sequencing technologies, could have an enormous impact on the rate of progres ...

Marker Assisted Resistance to Sharka (MARS)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

Sharka, caused by the Plum Pox Virus (PPV), is the most devastating disease affecting stone fruit trees in Europe. In order to respond to this critical situation, the FP7-funded SharCo project (2008-2012) devoted a significant part of its efforts on the development of first-generation PPV resistant plant materials, guidelines for new plantings, and molecular tools for the implementation of marker ...

Identification of Basal Immunity mechanismS against plant pathogenic viruses (IBIS)

Start date: May 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2015,

"Eukaryotic organisms have the ability to defend themselves against pathogenic microorganisms through the action of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) perceiving specific pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), what activates a range of fast, efficient and multi-layered defense responses leading to PAMP-triggered immunity (PTI), also named basal immunity. To counteract this defense strat ...

Gentle remediation of trace element contaminated land (GREENLAND)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

"Gentle remediation options (g.r.o.) include various (mostly plant based) approaches to remediate trace element contaminated soils at low cost and without significant negative effects for the environment. Although g.r.o. comprise very innovative and efficient technologies, they are still not widely used as practical site solution due to several reasons of hindrance for applying g.r.o. as practical ...

The sustainable improvement of European berry production, quality and nutritional value in a changing environment: Strawberries, Currants, Blackberries, Blueberries and Raspberries (EUBerry)

Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

The main objective of the EUBerry project is to provide the necessary knowledge and tools to facilitate development of high quality, consumer-desirable fresh berry fruits of high nutritional quality optimal for human health at a competitive cost. The further objective is the development and validation of a set of tools to improve competitiveness of European berry production and consumer accessibil ...

EUROPEAN PHYTOSANITARY RESEARCH COORDINATION II (EUPHRESCO)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

The Community Plant Health Regime (CPHR) aims to prevent the introduction, establishment and spread of regulated and quarantine plant pests. These pests pose increasing risks to European agriculture, horticulture, forestry and the environment. This is due to increased globalisation of trade (volume and diversity), but is exacerbated by climate change and EU expansion (increased pathways). In compa ...

Early Recognition, Monitoring and Integrated Management of Emerging, New Technology Related Risks (iNTeg-Risk)

Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2013,

iNTeg-Risk is a large-scale integrating project aimed at improving the management of emerging risks in the innovative industry. This will be achieved by building a new risk management paradigm for emerging risks, which is a set of principles supported by a common language, commonly agreed tools & methods and Key Performance Indicators integrated into a single framework. As main impact, it will red ...
