Description du projet
Un examen plus approfondi du phénotypage pour libérer le potentiel des cultures
La sécurité alimentaire durable et l’augmentation de la disponibilité de la biomasse végétale constituent un défi majeur pour les décennies à venir. Cependant, l’analyse des performances des cultures, connue sous le nom de «phénotypage», reste le principal goulot d’étranglement qui entrave l’exploitation de la diversité génétique des cultures et les progrès en matière de sélection végétale. Pour résoudre ce problème, le Forum stratégique européen pour les infrastructures de recherche (ESFRI) a fait du phénotypage des plantes une priorité absolue. Dans ce contexte, le projet d’infrastructure EMPHASIS-PREP, financé par l’UE et figurant sur la feuille de route de l’ESFRI, entend mettre en place une infrastructure paneuropéenne durable et innovante de phénotypage des plantes. En encourageant la collaboration avec la communauté européenne du phénotypage des plantes et les parties prenantes, EMPHASIS-PREP dressera la carte des infrastructures existantes, identifiera les lacunes, élaborera des stratégies et créera un plan d’affaires complet.
Objectif
Sustainable food security and increasing availability of plant biomass for human nutrition and bioindustries is the key challenge for the coming decades. The analysis of crop performance with respect to structure, function, quality and interaction with the environment (“phenotyping”) remains the bottleneck for the exploitation of crop genetic diversity required for the enhancement of plant productivity and progress in plant breeding. This requires substantial and concerted action to develop and to increase the availability of phenotyping infrastructures. The European Strategic Forum for Research Infrastructure (ESFRI) has identified “Plant Phenotyping” as a priority for the European research area and EMPHASIS has been listed on the ESFRI ROADMAP as an infrastructure project to develop and implement a pan-European plant phenotyping infrastructure.
The project EMPHASIS-PREP will provide the basis for the establishment the legal framework, the business plan and preparation of an information system for a sustainable and innovative pan-European infrastructure for plant phenotyping within the framework of EMPHASIS. EMPHASIS-PREP will establish a transparent, open and inclusive process, the project partners will foster efficient work in the project in close cooperation with the European plant phenotyping community and all stakeholders. EMPHASIS-PREP includes four major steps: i) mapping (infrastructure, funders, access procedure and models, stakeholder community, e-infrastructure, imaging approaches, legal and governance scenarios); ii) gapping - analysing the gaps and limitations based on the mapping activities; iii) developing strategies to address the gaps; iv) combining the strategies in a business plan for future operation of EPMPHASIS within a corresponding legal framework.
