•  iSAM (Funding: European EraSybio+ Programme). This project aims at improving our knowledge of shoot apical meristem, and more specifically the combined action of auxin and cytokinin, using a systems biology approach. It is part of a wider program, the ERASysBio initiative, a consortium of European funding bodies, ministries and project management agencies. Four partners are involved in iSAM: the group of J. Murray will focus on mutants of cell cycle regulation, the group of Y. Helariutta is specialized in several aspects of cytokinin regulation, while the group of J. Traas in Lyon provides input regarding auxin regulation and transport, and Virtual Plants is in charge of the modeling aspects, in synergy with the three other groups.
