Empowering root-targeted strategies to minimize abiotic stress impacts on horticultural crops (ROOTOPOWER)

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

ROOTOPOWER aims to develop a multidisciplinary suite of new tools targeted to the root system to enhance agronomic stability and sustainability of dicotyledonous crops under multiple and combined abiotic stresses: salinity, water stress, soil compaction and low fertilizer (N, P, K) input. Central to our approach is the use of tomato as a model species since it can be very easily grafted (usual com ...

Trans-national Infrastructure for Plant Genomic Science (transPLANT)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

Food and energy security are major challenges facing humanity in the coming decades. The falling costs of nucleotide sequencing are opening up significant opportunities for crop improvement through plant breeding and increased understanding of plant biology; in particular through interpreting the growing volume of plant genomics data in the context of phenotype. However, at present, there is no a ...

Plant Terpenoids for Human Health: a chemical and genomic approach to identify and produce bioactive compounds (TERPMED)

Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2013,

"Plant secondary metabolites are an important source of therapeutic drugs or drug leads. The advent of genomic and metabolomic technologies has now made it possible to bring the field of plant natural products into the 21st century and replace serendipitous and haphazard finding by rational design and discovery. This proposal is devoted to plant terpenes, the largest and most diverse group of plan ...

Contained Molecular Farming – Controllable Contained Systems for High Yield and Consistency (CoMoFarm)

Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

The CoMoFarm project will establish high-yielding production systems for pharmaceutical and industrial proteins based on plants, plant tissue and plant cells. The aim is to develop systems in which both the production host and the product itself show consistent yield and quality. The project will include a comparison of four alternative systems – hydroponic plants, root cultures, moss and suspensi ...
