The development of tools and effective strategies for the optimisation of useful secondary METAbolite PROduction in planta (METAPRO)
Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2013,
In the METAPRO project we aim to optimise the production of several useful isoprenoid derived secondary metabolites to demonstrate the tools and strategies developed for the generic production of useful secondary metabolites in plants. Astaxanthin (ketocarotenoids) and the apocarotenoid crocin have been selected to demonstrate the application of the technologies adopted and developed. These compou ...

Sustainable innovation technology in plant nursery process improving plant quality and safety (SITINPLANT)
Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Feb 28, 2011,
"The quality of the plant material used to establish an orchard has a relevant importance for his success. Currently, in this sector, there is a widespread usage of chemical pesticides and of synthetic fertilizers, which are leading to the reduction of microflora complexity in the soil and decreasing the overall plant quality. There is the necessity of innovating plants’ production processes to pr ...
