Website & Depository of sequence

Project Website and repository for all the sequences produced by the project (available as WordPress Download Manager which is a Documents Management Plugin that will be used to manage, track, control file downloads. It includes password protection, limited viewing, and works on multiple domains).

Final Workshop

Organization of the final workshop

A list of candidates showing the same pattern of differential expression in aposporous and diplosporous plants

CONICET will be the lead partner for this deliverable. The lists of candidate genes differentially expressed in aposporous species (P. pratensis and P.notatum) will be compared to those originated from diplosporous species (E.curvula/T. dactyloides), in order to identify commonalities and differences between both reproductivetypes.
