Mechanical signals in plants: from cellular mechanisms to growth coordination and patterning (Mechanodevo)
Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: May 31, 2019,
Development relies on a complex network of molecular effectors that ultimately modify the mechanical properties of cells and control shape changes. In turn, mechanical forces can also feedback on the molecular network to govern development. Several mechanosensitive proteins have been identified in animals but their role in multicellular development remains poorly documented. Plants are ideal syste ...

Wheat and barley Legacy for Breeding Improvement (WHEALBI)
Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2018,
WHEALBI will combine genomics, genetics and agronomy to improve European wheat and barley production in competitive and sustainable cropping systems. Germplasm representing the species diversity will be selected and characterised in unprecedented detail by next-generation-sequencing. Life history and adaptive traits will be evaluated in both transnational field experiments and a state-of-the-art p ...

Morphodynamics in Plants: from gene to shape (MORPHODYNAMICS)
Start date: May 1, 2012, End date: Apr 30, 2018,
Morphodynamics is aimed at understanding how shape in plants is controlled during development, a major issue in developmental biology.. So far, research in the field has been mainly based on qualitative observations of mutants, with little considerations for the physics of the cells and tissues leaving many questions unanswered or unexplored. Here, using recent technological advances, to which the ...

Plasticity and adaptation of hydraulic traits to overcome climate change (HYDROPIT)
Start date: Feb 1, 2015, End date: Jan 31, 2018,
"The increase in CO2 concentration and globalscale trends of rising temperature will have progressive and cumulative effects on especially forested ecosystems. It is largely debated whether forest trees will be able to adapt in situ fast enough to outstrip the higher frequency of extreme phenomena. In this sense, the long-term acclimation of the structure-function relations of the hydraulic system ...
