Australian Centre for Plant Functional Genomics (ACPFG)

The Australian Centre for Plant Functional Genomics scientists are improving cereal crops’ ability to grow in tough environments using the latest biotechnology leading to higher yields and more nutritious crops. This research involves both genetic modification (GM) and non-GM techniques. Scientists and policy makers agree that improving food productivity is one part of the solution to global food security especially considering predicted climatic variability, decreases in arable land, urban encroachment and other impacting factors.

The James Hutton Institute

The James Hutton Institute is an international research centre based in Scotland. The work we do is right at the top of the global agenda and involves tackling some of the world’s most challenging problems including the impact of climate change and threats to food and water security.

University of Bern

Biomolecules, cells, plants and animals are the center of teaching and research in the Department of Biology at the University of Berne.
Our three Institutes of Cell Biology, Plant Sciences and Ecology & Evolution focus on biological processes reaching from the molecular level to cell structures to plant and animal species and their communities.

University of Lancaster

Chemical genomics strategy for identifying genes enabling maintenance of root growth upon addition of salt.

University of Seville

The University of Seville is an institution that provides the public service of superior education by means of studies, teaching, and research, as well as the generation, development and diffusion of knowledge to serve citizens and society.

University of Zurich

Proteomic study of vacuolar membrane from barley leaf mesophyll to identify salt-induced proteins that correlate with salt-induction of Na+/H+ antiporter activity.

Wageningen University

Wageningen University is the only university in the Netherlands to focus specifically on the theme ‘healthy food and living environment’. We do so by working closely together with governments and the business community.
