Enhanced plant productivity through control of lifespan (CROPLIFE)
Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2015,
The world-wide demand for primary plant products to be used for food, feed and fuel is increasing dramatically. The foreseen climate changes are expected to have a negative impact on plant productivity in addition. Future agriculture urgently needs new crop plant varieties with enhanced and sustainable productivity. To meet this challenge, “CropLife” focuses on leaf lifespan as a major determinant ...

Redox Regulation of Nuclear Proteins (RoxNP)
Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2013,
Abiotic stress has a major impact on plant growth and performance, crop yields being significantly decreased as a result of the cessation of growth under conditions of mild stress. Growth arrest arises from a cessation of cell division in meristems. The cell cycle stops in G1 phase in response to changes in the glutathione [GSH] pool, which is itself a measure of abiotic stress. Poly(ADP)ribose po ...

Chloroplast Signals (COSI)
Start date: Jul 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2012,
"COSI integrates young researchers in a network of 10 leading European research centres, including Bayer BioScience as industrial partner. We aim at identification of regulatory principles governing chloroplast metabolism, a crucial factor for agricultural productivity. Specifically we want to identify chloroplast-related protein kinases and their targets and associated calcium signals. A long ter ...
