CalMarSi LIFE – Measures of integrated conservation of Calendula maritima Guss., a rare threatened plant of the Sicilian vascular flora

2021-03-12
Calendula maritima Guss. is a herbaceous plant species, with annual or short perennial life cycle depending on water availability as well as on the intensity and length of summer water stress. It plays a key functional role within a variety of coastal ecosystems, even affecting their physiognomy. Currently it often takes part to nitrophilous and...

LIVINGAGRO – Cross Border Living laboratories for Agroforestry

2021-03-12
Agroforestry – a land use management system in which trees or shrubs are grown around or among crops or pastureland – has varied benefits, including increased biodiversity and reduced erosion. The combination of agriculture and forestry in the Mediterranean is deeply rooted in a culture of tradition and niche production but fails nowadays to structure...

ELUCIDATION OF NITRIC OXIDE SIGNALLING IN PLANTS THROUGH NOVEL GENETICALLY ENCODED FLUORESCENT SENSORS

2021-03-12
O is a gaseous signalling molecule with fundamental physiological roles in animals and plants. In plants, NO participates broadly in several developmental processes and in biotic and abiotic stress responses. Despite its importance, the questions of where and how NO is synthesized, how it is redistributed across plant cells or tissues, and even how it...

EPI-CATCH – EPIgenetic mechanisms of Crop Adaptation To Climate cHange

2021-03-12
The ultimate objective of this proposed COST action is to define, develop, generate and share new breaking knowledge and methodologies for the investigation of epigenetic mechanisms modulating plant adaptation to environmental stresses driven by climate change. So far, no international network has been created with the aim of standardizing methodology in plant epigenetics/epigenomics and better...

PLANT-ED – Genome editing in plants – a technology with transformative potential

2021-03-12
A great challenge of this century is to provide adequate nutrition for an increasing global population while developing a more socially, economically and environmentally sustainable agriculture that counters climate change, biodiversity loss and degradation of arable land. Plant research and breeding are very important in meeting this challenge. Building on scientific progress, a number of...

PrunusAlignment – Testing, Use and Alignment of genetic data to distinguish unique and characterized accessions in Prunus

2021-03-12
The project will instantly confirm, by genotypinga series of plum accessions suitable for inclusion in AEGIS (for the majority of which,first and second priority descriptor data will be available). It will also identify a further set of 40-50 plum accessionswith FPD forsubsequent inclusion in AEGISand a subset of approximately 20 of these will be checked...

Relevance of flavonoids on drought stress responses in crop plants

2021-03-12
Stresses negatively affect plant growth and development by altering biochemical and physiological processes. Due to the ongoing climate change, plants are currently challenged with new and/or more severe stresses such as drought. Flavonoids not only behave as UV screening pigments and ROS scavengers under high UV irradiation but also, by virtue of their vacuolar compartmentation,...
