Advanced Tools and Research Strategies for Parasite Control in European farmed fish (ParaFishControl)

Start date: Apr 1, 2015, End date: Mar 31, 2020,

European aquaculture production provides direct employment to 80,000 people and a 3-billion € annual turnover. Parasites cause severe disease outbreaks and high economic losses in finfish aquaculture. The overarching goal of ParaFishControl is to increase the sustainability and competitiveness of European Aquaculture by improving understanding of fish-parasite interactions and by developing innova ...

Environment-induced plastic responses in chemical defences of a vertebrate (Chemical defences)

Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2018,

Phenotypic plasticity is a core concept of evolutionary biology and there is ample evidence for adjustments to environmental conditions in a row of life history traits in a wide variety of living organisms. Also, environmentally induced changes in chemical defences form the basis of a large research field in plants. However, we know startlingly little about similar plasticity in chemical defences ...

Olfactory correlation of rapid host plant shift in the European corn borer (Host shift)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

Insects have a matchless capability to adapt, which is apparent from the beguiling diversity of insects, as well as in their notorious habit to invade our agro-ecosystems. As insects rely strongly on their sense of smell, such adaptive radiation and speciation events are generally accompanied olfactory adaptation. Yet, the neuroethological bases of olfactory adaptation remain largely elusive.The E ...

Advanced Studies towards Knowledge on Lyssavirus Encephalitis Pathogenesis Improving Options for Survival (ASKLEPIOS)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

The overall aim of ASKLEPIOS is to unravel and increase our understanding of the mechanisms that govern pathogenesis of rabies virus (RABV) infection, in pursuit of the rational identification of novel therapeutic leads for rabies encephalitis. Several studies have been conducted over the past decades attempting to unravel the pathogenesis of this deadly disease, however with limited success. New ...

Drought-tolerant yielding plants (DROPS)

Start date: Jul 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

DROPS will develop novel methods and strategies aimed at yield maintenance under fluctuating water deficit and at enhanced plant water-use efficiency. We deal with high genotype x environment interaction in the field (any trait can have positive, negative or no effect depending on drought scenarios) with an approach combining Physiology, Genetics, field testing and Ecophysiological modelling. The ...

Genetics and physiology of wheat development to flowering: tools to breed for improved adaptation and yield potential (ADAPTAWHEAT)

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

"ADAPTAWHEAT will show how flowering time variation can be exploited for the genetic improvement of the European wheat crop to optimise adaptation and performance in the light of predicted climate change. It will test current hypotheses that postulate specific changes in ear emergence and the timing and duration of developmental phases, which are thought of as components of ear emergence, will i ...

ERA-NET for Coordinating Action in Plant Sciences (ERA-CAPS) (ERACAPS)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2015,

Plant sciences face important challenges at the European and global scale due to a burgeoning world population that requires sustenance. Reliable production of high-quality and safe food, feed and renewable Carbon supplies for green chemistry, without the use of excess land, energy, water, pesticides and chemicals is therefore essential.To ensure that we have the scientific understanding to again ...

Analysis of signalling mechanisms that integrate environmental stimuli into plant growth regulatory processes (PLANT ENVI DEVI)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Jan 31, 2014,

"Plant growth is remarkably flexible in response to changing environmental conditions, which is especially important as human life depends on the production of plant materials and they are now also being explored as a source of non-fossil fuels. The proposed project aims to reveal novel regulatory mechanisms that control developmental processes in response to environmental stresses. Mitogen-activa ...
