Calcium- and light signals in photosynthetic organisms (CALIPSO)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

"CALIPSO is a genuine interdisciplinary and intersectorial research network composed of nine academic research institutions and three industrial partners, thus presenting an example of true translational research and training of young researchers in communicating and transferring achievements from different model organisms directly to industrial partners. CALIPSO aims at identifying environmentall ...

Developing maximum-resolution genotype-phenotype maps using whole-genome polymorphism data (MAXMAP)

Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2016,

"Although pioneered by human geneticists as a potential solution to the challenging problem of finding the genetic basis of common human diseases, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have, owing to advances in genotyping and sequencing technology, become an obvious general approach for studying the genetics of natural variation. They are particularly useful when inbred lines are available becau ...

Genetic adaptations to climate in Arabidopsis thaliana (CLIMATE_ADAPTATION)

Start date: May 1, 2012, End date: Apr 30, 2016,

A major goal of evolutionary biology is to understand the phenotypic and genetic bases of adaptation to the environment. Since plants have limited mobility, aspects of climate play an especially important role in their survival and reproductive success. Some of the earliest evidence for this comes from phenotypic clines with the environment . The proposed research will identify the specific geneti ...

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 ...
