Development of improved perennial non-food biomass and bioproduct crops for water stressed environments (WATBIO)
Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2017,
"The goal of WATBIO is to use the power of next generation sequencing to develop an accelerated route for producing new germplasm with enhanced drought tolerance whilst maintaining biomass productivity and quality in water scarce, marginal environments unsuitable for food crops.This will be achieved for three non-food crops (Populus, Miscanthus and Arundo), suitable for growth on water scarce, mar ...

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 ...

Good Practice in Traditional Chinese Medicine Research in the Post-genomic Era (GP-TCM)
Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2012,
"In contrast to the reductionist approach of Western medicine that is based on modern anatomy, cell and molecular biology, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) uses a unique theory system and an individualised and holistic approach to describe health and disease, based on the philosophy of Yin-Yang balance and an emphasis on harmony of functions. These two medicine systems disagree with each other i ...
