Developing eco-innovative chemical processes to valorise phytoremediation-borne biomasses – PHYTOCHEM
by partner 5 for some plant species, and will be tested on a wider range of plant species. 2) for the [...] consortium also proposes to test a wider range of plant species to identify those potentially interesting
Investigating the Role of Innate Immunity in Arabidopsis Seed Development – INASEED
to systemic acquired resistance mechanisms in plants. The hypothesis that a form of “autoimmune” response [...] boundary between the embryo and the endosperm in plants is entirely novel, and is basis for the proposed [...] how immune responses may have been harnessed by plants in order to fulfil developmental roles during the
Genes and mutants affecting virus infection in rapeseed – GAMAVIR
that induce the most severe damages on cultivated plants. Despite the availability of insecticides to control [...] generally conceived that agricultural crops and plants in natural communities may harbor pathogens, including [...] symptom-free carriers and that disease may develop if plants are stressed in a warmer climate. Thus, while normal
Opening new avenues to model the DYnamics of Species aSsemblages by integrating Ecology and Evolution: a case study from the mountain ecosystems of the Alps and the Carpathians – ODYSSEE
Understanding the contribution of historical and ecological drivers to current distribution patterns of biodiversity to better forecast the response of mountain grasslands to global change
Integrated focal solar receiver with thermal storage with COFALIT – RESCOFIS
The RESCOFIS project aims to develop an integrated device comporting an optimized solar thermal collector and a thermal storage. This device would be used under a new solar concentrator of the “Beam-Down” kind, as a technical solution to produce solar energy on-site. A 10 to 100 kW electric continuous production is desired.
Yield enhancement in oilseed rape – SEEDS
Cytokinin has come into focus as a regulator of biomass formation and seed yield. Free University of Berlin works on CKX genes and their role in plant development and yield formation for several years already. They could show in Arabidopsis that simultaneous mutation of the CKX3 gene and at least one other CKX gene (either CKX2, 4, 5 or 6) causes enlargement of the inflorescence meristem which leads in turn to the formation of more and larger flowers giving rise to ca. 40% more siliques.
Bioterra : control of the microbial proliferation on earth bio-based products for healthy and sustainable buildings – BIOTERRA
The BIOTERRA project addresses two major issues of the construction: <br />- The use of materials with low environmental impact for the construction of healthy , comfortable and durable habitats (bio-based earth construction materials (bricks and plaster)) <br />- The indoor air quality by controlling microbial proliferation that could have impacts on the health of the résidents.
Increasing within-field wheat diversity to foster the multifunctionality and sustainability of wheat production in the Parisian – WHEATAMIX
examine the plastic response of these traits to plant-plant interactions and test how trait complementarity [...] complementary experimental approaches: i) individual plant phenotyping to characterize traits and their plasticity
Specific Advanced graphical MOdels for Genome-Wide Association Studies – SAMOGWAS
Finally, as more and more plant genomes are sequenced, genetics of plant biology is currently opening [...] control in western aging populations), the animal and plant biology domains are also concerned with respect
