Sweet Sorghum : an alternative energy crop (SWEETFUEL)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2014,

Increasing world market prices for fossil fuels, driven by limited reserves, growing demand and instability in producing regions, now render renewable fuels economical. Such fuels are also a pathway to reducing GHG emissions and mitigating climate change. Bio-ethanol from crop plants is a promising, partial solution to sustainably satisfy the energy demand for road transport. The success of bio-et ...

Next generation methods to preserve farm animal biodiversity by optimizing present and future breeding options (NextGen)

Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

NEXTGEN proposes the bold step of using whole genome data to develop and optimise conservation genetic management of livestock diversity for the foreseeable future. The rationale for choosing whole genome data is to ‘future-proof’ DNA-based analysis in livestock conservation against upcoming changes in technology and analysis. Thus, in the context of whole genome data availability, our global obje ...
