Project: GRAPPLE - Iterative modelling of gene regulatory interactions underlying stress, disease and ageing in C. elegans
Understanding the regulatory control of some biomedically important phenotypes at the level of genes is problematic. We propose to use the expression... -
Project: Q-BOL - DNA barcode mapped
Development of a new diagnostic tool using DNA barcoding to identify quarantine organisms in support of plant health. QBOL stands for Quarantine... -
Project: The transcriptional architecture of C. elegans life-history trade-offs in different thermal environments
-
Project: Dissecting natural and quantitative variations in host-pathogen interactions in multiple environments by genetical genomics on both partners
Plants are attacked by a myriad of pathogens and the outcome of these interactions result in a wide spectrum of phenotypes, ranging from absolute... -
Project: BIOEXPLOIT - Exploitation of natural plant biodiversity for the pesticide-free production of food
Background Wheat and potatoes, staple carbohydrate crops in Europe and the rest of the world, are highly susceptible to fungal attack, and tonnes of... -
Project: PANACEA - What makes some genes take the cancer route?
Cancer and diseases of the blood are responsible for some 60% of deaths in the adult population. Researchers are clearly hard pressed to find out more... -
Project: Breeding for broad-spectrum resistance in Solanaceous crops: identifying and exploring regulatory nuclear proteins connecting R gene specific resistance and basal defence
To defend themselves, plants have evolved a surveillance system consisting of single dominant resistance (R) genes and a more generic pathogen... -
Project: GM Crop Impact Assessment on Soil Ecosystems by DNA Barcode-based Monitoring of Nematode Communities (ERGONema)
The closest interactions between a genetically modified (GM) crop and its environment take place in the rhizosphere and during the decomposition of... -
Project: CBSG 2012 DNA Labs
In spring 2009 we will exceeded a total number of 50.000 high school students that have been reached with the mobile DNA courses since 2005. -
Project: CBSG 2012 Master Classes
To stimulate the interest of high school students for Wageningen University, and Plant Sciences in particular, various Master Classes will be...
