Enhancing resource Uptake from Roots under stress in cereal crops (EUROOT)

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

The overall goal of EURoot is to help farmers to face both climate change, which is expected to result in increasingly uneven rainfall, and meet the societal demand for sustainable agriculture with reduced use of water and fertilizers. EURoot objective is to enhance the cereal plant capability to acquire water and nutrients through their roots and maintain growth and performance under stress condi ...

Molecular Characterisation of the INTRAcellular Plant Aquaporin Trafficking and Hetero-oligomerisation (INTRA PATH)

Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Mar 31, 2011,

"In plants, the movement of water and small neutral solutes across the plasma membrane (PM) is dependent on the number and activity of water channels, named aquaporins (AQP). Little is known about mechanisms by which AQPs reach their final destination. Recent studies have shown that PIP (Plasma membrane Intrinsic Protein) aquaporins belonging to two subgroups, PIP1 and PIP2, physically interact to ...

Regulation of aquaporins in maize roots in response to water stress (PLANT AQUAPORINS)

Start date: Feb 25, 2008, End date: Feb 24, 2010,

Diminished crop water consumption is important to reduce the need for irrigation especially within areas where resources of clean water are scarce. Therefore, expert scientists with strong expertise in plant water relations is needed to address this new agricultural challenge. Aquaporins (AQPs) are channel proteins present in almost all living organisms that facilitate the rapid and passive transp ...
