Pollen thermotolerance and crop fertility (SPOT-ITN)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

The Marie Curie Initial Training Network SPOT-ITN will establish a multi-site network of early stage and experienced researchers at 9 partner institutions - including 3 from the private sector - in 4 European member countries and Israel to investigate fundamental and applied aspects of thermotolerance mechanisms contributing to the protection of pollen development at increased ambient temperatures ...

Metabolic Reprogramming by Induction of Transcription (MERIT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

Plants continually monitor the environment to modify physiology and development at the molecular level to ensure maximal fitness. Central in the signaling network is the SnRK1 kinases (homologous to AMPK and SNF1 in mammals and yeast respectively). These kinases are vital to the energy balance of the organism and regulate primary metabolism by controlling transcription factors, which control the e ...

 FINISHED 
Reversible modifications of DNA sequence and histones serve as a fast and accurate process to regulate gene expression. These mechanisms act specifically and co-ordinately, constituting what is called the epigenetic code, and influence a multitude of cellular processes including, besides the regulation of the transcription, differentiation, DNA replication, repair or imprinting, among others.
