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 ...

"Integrated response of plant, microbial and N Cycling InTEractions to precipitation patterns" (INCITE)

Start date: Aug 1, 2013, End date: Jul 31, 2017,

"Increased frequency and intensity of extreme climatic events are predicted in Europe, including severe droughts and intense precipitation events. Such changes will influence plant physiology, soil microbial activity and nutrient cycling, inducing changes in ecosystem functioning, with expected consequences on productivity, soil functions and carbon balance. Thus, an improved mechanistic comprehen ...

Reactive Oxygen Species and Hypothalamic Glucose Sensitive Neurons: a new mechanism in glucose homeostasis (NeuROSens)

Start date: Aug 1, 2011, End date: Jul 31, 2014,

Development of obesity and diabetes is the consequence of impaired glucose homeostasis regulation. The hypothalamic area of the brain and more precisely the arcuate nucleus (ARC) plays a critical role in this regulation. The ARC detects changes in blood glucose level and triggers appropriate physiological responses. For instance, increased brain glucose level increases insulin secretion and decrea ...
