Anja Mosselman2023-07-17T13:50:27+01:00New institute to develop ‘smart breeding’ method for more resilient, sustainable and climate-adaptive agriculture The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) will contribute 15 million euros to a CropXR research programme into ‘smart breeding’ of more resilient crops. NWO’s grant marks the start of the new Dutch institute, which will integrate plant biology, computational modelling, and artificial intelligence into ‘smart breeding methods’. Those will be used to develop crop varieties that are more resilient to climate change and less dependent on chemical crop protection. In CropXR, four Dutch universities and dozens of plant breeding, biotech and processing companies will collaborate [...]
Ivo Rieu has been appointed Professor of Crop Biotechnology at Radboud University’s Faculty of Science
Anja Mosselman2023-07-17T13:43:38+01:00Rieu’s research focuses on plants and how they cope with climate change - especially the increasingly frequent heatwaves. “Such periods of high temperatures are detrimental for plant fertility, causing them to produce fewer seeds and fruits. We look at the plants’ defence mechanisms and try to figure out why some plants can withstand heat better than others. The insights that are gained help to make agriculture and horticulture more sustainable and climate-proof, and improve food security,” says Rieu. He maintains that this research will continue to have great relevance in the coming years. “When a heatwave coincides with the flowering [...]
New chair for the EPS educational committee
Anja Mosselman2023-07-17T13:35:21+01:00After 25 years, Marcel Dicke (Entomology, WUR) will step down as chair of the educational committee as of September 1st. Marcel has chaired this committee since 1999. In the last 25 years he has evaluated and approved more than 1000 EPS TSP’s and certificates! And he stood at the basis of the EPS course programme together with the members of the educational committee. As chair of the educational committee Marcel was also member of the EPS board. On behalf of the graduate school we would like to thank Marcel for the immense contribution he made to EPS in the last [...]
Four NWO VIDI grants for EPS members
Anja Mosselman2023-07-17T13:25:38+01:00The researcher will receive up to 800.000 €, which allows them develop an their own innovative line of research and to expand their own research group further. Volatile perception in plants Dr. S. Allmann, University of Amsterdam Plants under attack are able to emit large amounts of volatiles into the air. These volatiles can profoundly change the behaviour of nearby insects and plants, but the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. This project has the goal to unravel the molecular mechanisms of green leaf volatile perception in plants. Decoding an interkingdom hybrid chemical language (DECODE). Dr. L.M. Dong, University of Amsterdam Organisms [...]
