Optimising the management and sustainable use of forest genetic resources in Europe (GenTree)

Start date: Mar 1, 2016, End date: Feb 29, 2020,

The goal of GenTree is to provide the European forestry sector with better knowledge, methods and tools for optimising the management and sustainable use of forest genetic resources (FGR) in Europe in the context of climate change and continuously evolving demands for forest products and services. To reach its goal, GenTree will make scientific, technological and implementation breakthroughs in: ( ...

"Agro-technological training methodology based on organic farming - Einkorn - Ancient innovation II"

Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Nov 30, 2016,

Einkorn is an ancient grain that dates back approximately a 10 000 years. Bulgarian einkorn, unlike other varieties found, contains higher than typically met nutrients. Unfortunately in Bulgaria no targeted studies have been conducted to understand, grow and cultivate the Bulgarian variety of einkorn. By conducting initial studies within the framework of our successfully ongoing 2013 "Transfer of ...

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 ...

Novel characterization of crop wild relative and landrace resources as a basis for improved crop breeding (PGR Secure)

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

The goal of agrobiodiversity conservation, unlike other forms of conservation, is not only the conservation of species and intra-specific genetic diversity related to agriculture, but also to promote its sustainable use in facilitating agricultural production. Although significant progress has been made in the conservation and management of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture (PGRFA) ...

Open Access Infrastructure for Research in Europe (OpenAIRE)

Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

The proposed project will deliver "an electronic infrastructure and supporting mechanisms for the identification, deposition, access, and monitoring of FP7 and ERC funded articles", where the main supporting mechanism will be the establishment and operation of the European Helpdesk System. Additionally, the project will offer "a special repository for articles that can be stored neither in institu ...

Indicators for biodiversity in organic and low-input farming systems (BioBio)

Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

Organic and low-input farming systems have been shown to benefit farmland biodiversity although a generic indicator system to assess these benefits at the European level is lacking. The BIOBIO project will therefore pursue the following objectives: 1. Conceptualization of criteria for a scientifically-based selection of biodiversity indicators for organic/low-input farming systems; 2. Assessment ...

Forest ecosystem genomics research: supporting Transatlantic Cooperation (FORESTTRAC)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2012,

The main aim of FoResTTraC is to prepare future coordinated research plans, via a strategic research roadmap, between Europe and North America regarding adaptation of forest trees to climate changes, linking different disciplines: ecology, genetics, genomics and evolution. FoResTTraC brings together a critical mass of research expertise in these disciplines on both sides of the Atlantic with 6 lea ...
