Training in Systems Biology Applied to Flowering (SYSFLO)

Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

We will educate and train young scientists to apply an interdisciplinary systems-based approach to complex biological questions using plant reproduction as a model system. Systems approaches are not routinely taught, have been identified as an area requiring urgent PhD-level training in some European countries and require network-scale working practices. We have assembled a team with International ...

Molecular-genetic approaches to study the role of FT in photoperiodic flowering of Arabidopsis (FT and flowering)

Start date: Jul 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2012,

Proteins related to FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) strongly induce flowering of many plant species. In Arabidopsis thaliana FT is a component of the photoperiodic pathway and its transcription is activated under long days characteristic of summer. Recent studies showed that FT protein is expressed in the leaf vascular tissue and then moves through the phloem to the shoot apex, where it causes changes in g ...

Role of Senescence-associated Cysteine Proteases (SACP)

Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2010,

"Despite the importance of senescence in world food production and safety, the proteases responsible for the massive protein degradation during senescence have not been identified. Strong candidates for senescence-associated proteases are members of various cysteine protease families that localize in lytic vacuoles that presumably engulf the chloroplast during senescence. This project aims at iden ...

Analysis of natural-genetic variation controlling the timing of GIGANTEA expression in Arabidopsis (Diversity of rhythms)

Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2010,

The circadian clock regulates many physiological and developmental processes in plants. The GIGANTEA (GI) protein plays a major role in the clock mechanism and controls important clock outputs including photoperiodic flowering. GI expression follows a circadian rhythm, with a peak in the evening, and changes in the timing of GI expression have dramatic effects on biological programs such as flower ...
