Epigenetic regulation of economically important plant traits (EPITRAITS)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
The mission of EpiTRAITS is to train young researchers in epigenetic gene regulation and flowering in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and the crop plants maize (Zea mays) and barley (Hordeum vulgare). Epigenetic gene regulation confers stability of gene expression patterns through cell divisions while allowing changes in expression in response to environmental or developmental cues. Although ...

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 ...

Training in Systems Biology Applied to Flowering (SYSFLO)
Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2013,
We will educate and train young scientists to apply an interdisciplinary systems-based approach to complex biological questions using plant reproduction as a model system. Systems approaches are not routinely taught, have been identified as an area requiring urgent PhD-level training in some European countries and require network-scale working practices. We have assembled a team with International ...
