Professionnal development and workers' capabilities in French and German companies. An approach through multinational corporations – DEVENT
While individual action is today celebrated as an element in the redefinition of work in close association with the ideas of freedom, responsibility, individual aspirations and personal development, this project puts companies’ human-resources policies to the test of an inquiry assessing employees effective capabilities to act.
Disfluent Utterances, Exclamations and Laughter in Dialogue – DUEL
Although disfluent speech is pervasive in spoken conversation, disfluencies have received little attention within formal theories of<br />grammar. Over recent years much evidence has accumulated that disfluencies contain much useful information that guides language users' actions and evaluations of their interlocutors' states of mind. DUEL will also tackle another significant semantic phenomenon neglected by formal grammarians, namely laughter.
A COmbination of systems Biology and experimental high-throughput approaches to engIneer durable Resistance against plAnt viruses in crops – COBRA
Plant viruses cause an estimated 50 billion € loss worldwide per year. They represent one of the most limiting factors in European crop production. The best and safest practice would be the introduction of resistance traits in crop plants. The scope of COBRA is to intensify applied and fundamental research on plant/virus interactions in order to diversify targets for resistance gene pyramiding strategies and to match the research outputs with industry and breeding applications.

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.
