Flagship projects

- This page is in progress -

On this page, you can discover a presentation of the 546 projects funded by Agropolis Fondation since its creation in 2007. A search engine is at your disposal and the projects are extractable in PDF format.

The flagship projects are presented above. These are the ones that have received more than 500 000 euros in funding.

The Foundation supports three categories of projects:

Research projects Training projects Dissemination, promotion and transfer projects
Exploratory and innovative projects;
Disciplinary projects exploring research fronts;
Major multidisciplinary flagship projects.		 Creation of training courses;
Establishment of MOOCs;
International thematic schools.		 International scientific events;
Project maturation/transfer;
Publication and dissemination.

If you are the project leader, do not hesitate to contact us if you wish to make any changes.
We have chosen to present all projects in English to simplify export.

RecycleP

Understanding the recycling of organic phosphorus in Mediterranean agro-forestry ABSYSs

Phosphorus (P) is an essential element for living organisms and often limits terrestrial ecosystem productivity. For this reason, P fertiliser are largely used to improve crop productivity. However, the use of P fertilizeris not withoutserious environmental threats, including eutrophication ofsurface waters. A promising way of reducing external P inputs to agroecosystems is to increase the recycling rate of organic phosphorus (Po), which (...)

TE-GWAS in rice

Unlocking rice genetic diversity to secure food production in the context of global change : deciphering the functional impact of transposable elements using genome-wide association studies.

We propose a new strategy, hereafter referred to as TE-GWAS, that endeavours to identify agronomic traits controlled by TEs through association studies of TEASVs with phenotypes. One major advantage of this new strategy is that it should allow one to directly identify the genetic factor that control the trait of interest as the TE insertions used as marker are expected to modify gene expression and thus be causative of the phenotypic change. (...)

NITROTOR

Unraveling TOR-mediated signaling in relation to nitrogen metabolism.

This project will elaborate on the function of TOR mediated signaling and specific downstream targets involved in nitrogen metabolism in Arabidopsis. In collaboration with the Pr De Jaeger group at the VIB Department of Plant Systems Biology we will establish a nitrogen starvation protocol in Arabidopsis cell suspension cultures to set up a model system for the study of the TOR mediated signaling in relation to nitrogen availability. This (...)

Unravelling the emergence of the Banana Xanthomonas Wilt through a novel approach

The Banana Xanthomonas Wilt (BXW), caused by Xanthomonas vasicola pv. musacearum (Xvm), has devastated the banana plantations all over the Great Lakes region from 2001, causing very negative social impacts and biodiversity loss within the Musa germplasm.

AAP Chemistry

Use of biobased coagulant-flocculant to improve the treatment of liquid effluents from the processing of agri-food products in southern countries: the case of wastewater from cassava processing.

The objective of this project is to study the flocculating-coagulating power of a natural biopolymer (chitosan) functionalised by quaternisation, in order to facilitate the liquid/solid separation of effluents from the cassava processing industry. The use of biopolymers as coagulants-flocculants can be of great interest because they are natural products, inexpensive and characterized by their environmental harmlessness. Chitosan (CS), the (...)

AAP Chemistry FACCE

Use of continuous front-end capillary electrophoresis (CFCE) for the characterisation of interactions between transcription factors and target DNA sequences, a step towards the development of an analytical microsystem.

The growth and development of living organisms are complex and dynamic processes that require the harmonious expression of many genes. The spatio-temporal control of gene expression is therefore a process that is central to all living organisms, from the most elementary (e.g. bacteria) to the most complex (e.g. yeast, mammals, plants). Dysfunctions in these gene regulations are responsible for several diseases in humans, and can alter the (...)
