Improving the resistance of legume crops to combined abiotic and biotic stress (ABSTRESS)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
ABSTRESS applies combined, integrated systems biology and comparative genomics approaches to conduct a comprehensive study of the gene networks implicated in the interaction of drought stress and Fusarium infection in legumes. It uses Medicago truncatula as a model to rapidly identify characteristics for introgression into elite pea varieties and a field test of their performance against existing ...

Advancing understanding of Atlantic Salmon at Sea: Merging Genetics and Ecology to resolve Stock-specific Migration and Distribution patterns (SALSEA-Merge)
Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2011,
Over the past two decades, an increasing proportion of North Atlantic salmon are dying at sea during their oceanic feeding migration. The specific reasons for the decline in this important species are as yet unknown, however, climate change is likely to be an important factor. In some rivers in the southern part of the salmons range, wild salmon now face extinction. This is in spite of unprecedent ...

Innovative Design for Wind Energy Capture in Urban Environments (ROOF-CAPTURE)
Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Jan 31, 2011,
"We propose a new approach for urban wind power to help the EU to meet renewable energy targets and make micro–generation acceptable in environmentally sensitive areas. Typically, the wind around buildings is too turbulent and slow to be of much use. Normal turbines need to be placed high above them which is expensive and attracts planning objections. If buildings could be used to augment turb ...
