Bacterial Abiotic Cellular Stress and Survival Improvement Network (BACSIN)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2012,

BACSIN is a 16-member consortium with the main focus to improve rational exploitation of the catalytic properties of bacteria for the treatment and prevention of environmental pollution. Current application of bacteria in the environment is hindered by the lack of knowledge on the effects of stresses on cellular activity, most importantly abiotic stresses prevailing on site (e.g., desiccation or n ...

Oxylipin signalling in plant defence against pathogens (Oxylipin signalling)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2010,

Plants recognize invading pathogens and trigger an array of signalling events eventually leading to a resistance response that prevents or limits pathogen growth in planta. One signalling event upon pathogen infection is the formation of lipid derived oxylipins. In the animal physiology a broad signalling role of fatty acid derived molecules (eicosanoid family of lipid signals) have been well esta ...

EFFECT OF NATURAL VIRAL RNA SEQUENCE VARIATION ON INFLUENZA VIRUS RNA FUNCTION (RNAFLU)

Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Jan 31, 2010,

"Influenza A virus has an amazing ability to rapidly change its properties. We believe that pathogenic properties of an influenza virus could be determined also by differences in influenza virus RNA sequence that do not affect the protein sequence of the virus genome. In other words, sequences that affect structure and/or function of the viral RNA, could themselves contribute to the pathogenic pro ...
