MAIZE-TF - Functional genomics of transcription factors in maize seed development, project 2 (Project)

To decipher the molecular mechanisms regulating maize seed development we propose to determine the function of 20 transcription factors (TFs) selected for seed specific expression or changes in expression during different developmental stages. Candidate genes will be identified in the Genoplante maize EST collection by exhaustive searches with key words, motives and complete protein sequences of...

LIGNIN METABOLIC PATHWAY - Impact of modifications in lignin metabolic pathways on fungal and bacterial pathogen resistance using Arabidopsis mutants and transgenic lines (Project)

The objectives of the project are to use Arabidopsis lines deregulated (under- or over-expressing) in the lignin biosynthetic pathway to determine the role of cell wall bound and soluble phenolic compounds in pathogen resistance. A collection of lines in the same ecotype has been obtained by Partner 1. The detailed consequences on lignin content and composition have been determined in the frame...

SUGAR BEET SEED - Identification of inherent factors determining seed quality, germination efficiency and early seedling vigour of sugar beet by transcriptome and proteome profiling (Project)

Producing high quality seed lots, notably in terms of germinability, is a major concern of seed companies. Seed vigour loss may occur during seed production, seed processing as well as during seed storage. The availability of molecular and/or biochemical markers of seed vigour would allow seed producers to better characterise their germplasm and to better design invigoration seed treatments such...

RYE-BARLEY-DIVERSITY - Bridging genomics and genetic diversity: Association between gene polymorphism and trait variation in cereals (Part 1) (Project)

To gain a further understanding of genes involved in determining grain quality and flowering time in cereal species, we propose to undertake association studies between gene polymorphism and the variation of these traits. Five key candidate genes will be considered for each trait. Comparative sequencing will be achieved on a representative set of inbred lines of maize, sorghum, rice, wheat,...

COMPARATIVE GENOMICS - Comparative genomics between Arabidopsis and Brassica for genes directing seed-specific flavonoid biosynthesis (Part 1) (Project)

Rapeseed is the most important oil crop in Europe. However, its utilisation as source for high-quality proteins is limited by the negative impact of the high content of anti-nutritive flavonoids (i.e. condensed tannins). The flavonoid composition in the seed coat is controlled by a large number of genes and little is known about the inheritance of this trait. Therefore, breeding of yellow seeded...
