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 ...

Optimizing Miscanthus Biomass Production - OPTIMISC (OPTIMISC)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2016,
Miscanthus is a C4 perennial rhizomatous grass that has become a leading candidate crop for production of lignocellulosic feedstocks due to its rapid biomass accumulation in temperate climates. There is currently a single commercial clone, M. x giganteus, which has a number of limitations. Research over the past 20 years has shown that a few key species and their interspecific hybrids have a high ...

Roman Cements for Architectural Restoration to New High Standards (ROCARE)
Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2012,
"Highly hydraulic binders, known as natural or Roman cements, were key materials to cover façades of buildings of the European Historicism and Art Nouveau (19th/early 20th century), a period of rapid urban growth in Europe. The maintenance, restoration and reconstruction of historic Roman cement façades form therefore an important issue in Europe’s efforts to preserve its architectural heritage. T ...
