The creation of the Department of INTEGRATIVE PLANT BIOLOGY (BIO-TALENT)
Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2019,
"The superior idea of the BIO-TALENT project is to integrate staff members of the Institute of Plant Genetics, Polish Academy of Sciences with the European Research Area, enhance research competence and performance, generate an increase of knowledge, visibility and intensity of collaboration (existing and new) and establish long-lasting partnerships between academia and industry. High-quality rese ...

LEGumes for the Agriculture of TOmorrow (LEGATO)
Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2017,
The project has been conceived to promote the culture of grain legumes in Europe by identifying priority issues currently limiting grain legume cultivation and devising solutions in term of novel varietal development, culture practices, and food uses. LEGATO will develop tools and resources to enable state of the art breeding methodology and to exploit fully the breadth of genetic resources avail ...

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 ...

Enhancing biomass production from marginal lands with perennial grasses (GRASSMARGINS)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
Perennial grasses, which once established can be harvested and re-grow annually for many decades, have a number of other beneficial characteristics which suit them as biomass crops. These include high resource use efficiency, high productivity, good environmental qualities and a wide range of end uses. Environmental benefits include high rates of soil carbon sequestration, enhanced biodiversity an ...

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 ...
