Unraveling sex determination and parthenocarpy mechanisms to improve crops (SEXYPARTH)
Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2019,
"In the last century, the use of high-yielding F1-hybrid varieties, mechanization and irrigation have insured yield improvement for major crops. In the post-genomic era, one would expect that the discovery and the optimization of the gene networks controlling key agronomic traits could contribute to another level of yield improvement. In this scenario, leader alleles will be identified and combin ...

Coordinated Integrated Pest Management in Europe (C-IPM)
Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
Europe faces the challenge of responding to the mandatory implementation of the principles of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) as called for by Directive 2009/128/EC on the sustainable use of pesticides. Most European countries are investing in research and extension to face this challenge, reduce reliance on pesticides, and reduce risks associated with their use. Added value and synergies can be ...

Logistics for Energy Crops' Biomass (LOGISTEC)
Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Feb 29, 2016,
Cost-efficient, environmental-friendly and socially sustainable biomass supply chains are urgently needed to achieve the 2020 targets of the Strategic Energy Technologies-Plan of the European Union, which are likely to be impeded by the potential scarcity of lignocellulosic biomass from agriculture. Innovative techniques for crop management, biomass harvesting and pre-treatment, storage and transp ...

New ripening room monitoring technology for improving the efficiency and sustainability of cheese ripening processes (SMART-RIPE)
Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2015,
The SMARTRIPE project will help SMEs from the cheese-making and equipment supply chain to exploit the results of the FP6 TRUEFOOD project, which focused on the introduction of new technologies for the elaboration of European Traditional Food Products, and covered a large range of activities, from consumer behaviour to food safety and nutritional impact. The improvement of ripening of traditional c ...

Preparatory steps towards a GMO research ERA-Net (PreSto GMO ERA-Net)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2015,
The objective of the PreSto GMO ERA-Net project is to clearly map out the steps needed to create and successfully implement an ERA-Net that will coordinate transnational research on the effects of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in the areas of human and animal health, the environment, and techno- economics and societies. The focus of the ERA-Net will be on GMOs intentionally released into t ...

Molecular mechanisms monitoring sex determination in Arabidopsis thaliana (GENDER)
Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2015,
"In higher plants, sex determination is usually controlled by the genotype and they can be modified by various environmental factors and/or by hormones present in the plant. The mechanism by which this process is controlled in plants is still poorly understood.In melon, sex determination is governed by the identity of two genes, andromonoecious (a) and gynoecious (g). The gene a encodes for an eth ...
