Focus on Ghent University
FOCUS ON GHENT UNIVERSITY 4 FOREWORD In ‘Focus on Ghent University’ we proudly present our higher education institution. Ghent University is an enterprising university with an international appeal. Our motto is ‘Dare to think’: we encourage students and staff members to adopt a critical approach. Pluralism and social engagement are the historic cornerstones of our philosophy. Diversity, participation and independence are common denominators in our policies. This publication describes our key tasks: education, scientific research and public service delivery. The university is a unique biotope of academic education and scientific research, pillars that are inseparably linked with one another. The cross-fertilization between education and research is vital if we want to continue to play a leading innovative role. In ‘Focus on Ghent University’ we also concentrate on the close links between Ghent University and the city and region. Together with our local and (inter)national partners, we play a major role as a catalyst of innovation in all areas. Finally, in this publication we take a look at student facilities and the role of our university as the largest employer in East Flanders. FOCUS ON GHENT UNIVERSITY FOREWORD 5 GHENT UNIVERSITY IS … GHENT AREA DARE TO THINK CAMPUS KORTRIJK ‘Dare to Think’ is the credo of Ghent University: critical and independent minds study, carry out research and work at Ghent University. CAMPUS OSTEND The phrase is the literal translation of Sapere aude that was originally used by the Roman poet Horace and was also the main idea of enlightened critical philosophers such as Immanuel Kant. PLURALISM AND PARTICIPATION Ghent University is a socially engaged pluralistic university that is open to all students and staff irrespective of their ideological, political, cultural and social background. -
Summaries of FY 2001 Activities Energy Biosciences
Summaries of FY 2001 Activities Energy Biosciences August 2002 ABSTRACTS OF PROJECTS SUPPORTED IN FY 2001 (NOTE: Dollar amounts are for a twelve-month period using FY 2001 funds unless otherwise stated) 1. U.S. Department of Agriculture Urbana, IL 61801 Biochemical and molecular analysis of a new control pathway in assimilate partitioning Daniel R. Bush, USDA-ARS and Department of Plant Biology, University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign $72,666 (21 months) Plant leaves capture light energy from the sun and transform that energy into a useful form in the process called photosynthesis. The primary product of photosynthesis is sucrose. Generally, 50 to 80% of the sucrose synthesized is transported from the leaf to supply organic nutrients to many of the edible parts of the plant such as fruits, grains, and tubers. This resource allocation process is called assimilate partitioning and alterations in this system are known to significantly affect crop productivity. We recently discovered that sucrose plays a second vital role in assimilate partitioning by acting as a signal molecule that regulates the activity and gene expression of the proton-sucrose symporter that mediates long-distance sucrose transport. Research this year showed that symporter protein and transcripts turn-over with half-lives of about 2 hr and, therefore, sucrose transport activity and phloem loading are directly proportional to symporter transcription. Moreover, we showed that sucrose is a transcriptional regulator of symporter expression. We concluded from those results that sucrose-mediated transcriptional regulation of the sucrose symporter plays a key role in coordinating resource allocation in plants. 2. U. -
