A Centre under constructionDuring 2008 the building that will host the Centre for Re-search in Agricultural Genomics, CSIC-IRTA-UAB has deve-loped its structure in the Bellaterra Campus of the Autono-mous University of Barcelona. This year the University has become a full component of the public Consortium that was formed by CSIC and IRTA in 2003. During these years the CRAG has built up its own administrative structure and its own culture. This is the first time that CRAG publishes its annual report and a full web site is already in the net. Those are essential steps to make the Centre visible for the general public and for the scientific community.
The Centre for Research in Agricultural Genomics is in this way developing its activity that is devoted to research in the molecular basis of essential characters of plants and farm animals. The Centre is trying to develop basic research in molecular mechanisms involved in plant development and defence and to develop and apply molecular methods that
can be useful for breeding of plants and farm animals. This is the reason that our groups are studying Arabidopsis and peach, rice and melon or tomato and pig. This is also the reason that during 2008 we have invested in new infras-tructures that are allowing us to have access to the tools of massive genetic analysis. These include genotyping pla-tforms, microarray analysis and massive sequencing.
The CRAG is proud of the trust that our founder institutions, CSIC, IRTA and UAB have put in our Centre and acknowled-ges the funding provided by The General Direction of Re-search of the Department of Innovation, Universities and Industries of the Generalitat de Catalunya. When all our groups will be together in the new building in Bellaterra at the beginning of 2010 a new era will start for CRAG that will put its activity with the goals of increasing our knowledge of biological systems that are essential for the future of our society in a complex and changing environment.

Molecular genomics departmentThe scientific activity of the Department aims to impro-ve the knowledge and understanding of the structure, function and dynamics of the plant genome, and of its in-terplay with the physiology, biochemistry, growth and de-velopment, and stress and pathogen responses of plants.
Ongoing research projects in the Department encompass many different aspect of plant biology. An area of research is the structure of the genomes of plants, including ge-nome sequencing projects, the characterization of mobile elements, and the identification and characterization of plant genes, with a special emphasis on genes of agro-nomic interest. There are also projects focused on the re-gulation of gene expression associated with processes of plant development and reproduction (regulation by light and photoperiod, the biological clock, flower develop-ment, root and vascular tissue development, embryogene-sis, fruit maturation), as well as on the plant responses to environmental stress, in both biotic (attack by pathogens) and abiotic (drought, salt) situations. In addition, plant biochemistry and metabolism is also an active area of re-search, including projects on protein synthesis, transport and storage, cell wall and lignin biosynthesis, and meta-bolic engineering.
1. Plant genomics and biotechnologyResearch in plant biology has been fundamentally chan-ged over the past decade, as a result of revolutionary breakthroughs in genome sequencing of plants, including Arabidopsis thaliana, rice, poplar, papaya, and soon maize and many other plants and crops. Plant scientists have made excellent use of the advances in genomics research, on model species and on crops, to explain basic biological principles as well as in subsequent applications to crop improvement.
The general focus of this research line is the characteriza-tion and understanding of plant genomes (both at a struc-
tural and functional level), and the development of plant biotechnology, genomics, and related life science techno-logies to harness the potential of plant genomes for crop improvement and to foster understanding in plant biology. Genome sciences are multidisciplinary in nature, and so is this research line, both in the technologies as well as in the plants used.
This research line encompasses the work of two CSIC groups, led by Profs. Puigdomenech and Ludevid, respec-tively, as well as that of the group of ICREA Research Prof. Riechmann, whom recently joined the CRAG. These groups are working on a diverse range of topics, which include (as explained in detail in the Extended Description): the sequencing of the melon genome and the development of tools useful to identify genes interesting for breeding of the species; the use of plants as biofactories; and the stu-dy of plant gene regulatory networks using genomic tech-nologies. The work by these groups intersects with those of other groups and lines at the CRAG, both at the scientific and at the technical level. In addition, genomics research is enabled by, and critically dependent on, ever evolving

high-throughput technologies. In the CRAG, those techno-logies are being centralized on the Genomic Services unit. Thus, those services should be considered in the context of this research line, and vice versa. The general aim of this research line is the characterization and understanding of plant genomes (both at a structural and functional level), and the development of plant biote-chnology, genomics, and related life science technologies to harness the potential of plant genomes for crop impro-vement and to foster understanding in plant biology.

2. Plant metabolism and metabolic engineeringThe research line “Plant metabolism and metabolic enginee-ring” addresses the study of the regulation and organization of target metabolic pathways using biochemical, molecular and genetic strategies with different plant model systems (including Arabidopsis, tomato, tobacco, and maize). We aim to generate fundamental knowledge of how plants con-trol their primary and secondary metabolism that could be useful to eventually improve the quality of plant products.

3. Plant responses to biotic and enviromental stressesThe general objective of the line is to understand the res-ponses of plants to the environment and to stresses caused by abiotic and biotic factors. This main objective includes several specific goals related to aspects of plant responses, such as understanding the sensing mechanisms implicated, the processes of recognition, the transduction of signals and the characterization of the different elements of the reactions. The intended outcome is to provide knowledge to increase the potential productivity of crops by reducing the negative impact caused in plants by the environment and the different stresses.

The main goal of the participant research groups is to bet-ter understand how plants respond to stress conditions, either caused by the environment or by the presence of biotic agents such as pathogens or pests. Thus, different aspects are being contemplated, including: basic studies with plant pathogens and/or stress condtitions, analysis of the sensing systems within the plant, initiation and main-tenance of the responses, signal transduction pathways, elements of the responses, and so on. The final goal will be to apply such knowledges to manipulate the responses, searching the benefit for the plant organisms, i.e. obtain organisms better adapted to survive and be productive in changing environmental situations of diverse agresiveness, and/or under the attack of different pathogenic agents.

4. Signal transduction and plant developmentThe research line is focused on understanding signalling pathways and mechanisms governing plant cell growth and development. To this end, the different research groups are interested in a diverse range of topics including the cellular and molecular determinants of plant develo-pment and the regulatory networks and factors affecting plant physiology and genome silencing and stability. The experimental designs involve a number of different geno-mic, genetic, biochemical and molecular strategies using
12

different model systems including tobacco, potato and maize plants as well as the small dicotyledonous species Arabidopsis thaliana. Specifically, the research line invol-ves studies on the circadian clock, light perception and photoperiodic pathways, programmed cell death, regula-tion of gene expression through non-coding and repetitive sequences, hormone signalling and floral and vascular and embryo development.
The main goal is to understand how plants integrate en-dogenous and exogenous cues to regulate growth and de-velopment. To that end, different scientific, experimental and methodological approaches are combined in order to get a complete view of the mechanisms regulating the plant life cycle. This multidisciplinary approach aims to the coordination of the different research lines, facilitating the collaboration among the groups, sharing the results and resources and promoting top-quality research programs. A long term goal of this research line would include the
translation of all the basic information obtained with the experimental model systems into research that can be applied to plants of agronomic interest.

The main research activities of the Plant Genetics De-partment are:
Use of molecular markers for cultivar identification •and marker assisted selection in vegetable crops, fruit trees and ornamental species.Plant genomics of vegetable and fruit crops.•Use of in vitro culture techniques to obtain diploha-•ploid lines in vegetable and ornamental plants.Genetic transformation of rice, melon, pepper and peach.•Breeding in ornamental species.•Technology transfer to the private sector.•
1. Crop genomics Sub-programmeThe different activities of the Genomics Sub programme are listed below. There are three main genomic program-mes in three major crops: Prunus, strawberry and melon. Additional activities in this subprogramme are a breeding project in Pelargonium and two Research Units with priva-te companies.
1.1 Prunus Genomics
1.2 Strawberry Genomics
1.3 Melon Genomics
1.4 Pelargonium Breeding
2. Plant in Vitro CultureIRTA’s Plant in Vitro Culture laboratory has focused on the applications of plant tissue culture to facilitate or comple-ment plant breeding. Plant in vitro culture offers several techniques that complement traditional plant breeding methods. Micropropagation provides rapid multiplica-tion of newly selected individuals, or facilitates the pro-pagation of recalcitrant species. Other techniques, such as in vitro embryo rescue, facilitate the recombination of genotypes which might be limited by incompatibility, or the recovery of plants from crosses with developmental restrictions. Conventional breeding procedures emplo-ying the production of hybrids can be hastened by the in vitro generation of homozygous doubled haploid lines, via androgenesis, gynogenesis, or in situ induced par-thenogenesis. Contrasting, the generation of tetraploids enables the production of plants with desirable charac-ters, such us morphology changes, sterility, and seedless fruits. Undoubtedly, the application of molecular biology, genetic engineering, and genetically modified organisms (GMO), has a profound impact on plant breeding. Howe-ver, their application on some crops depends on the abili-ty to regenerate whole plants from the genetically trans-formed cells or tissues. The techniques of plant in vitro

culture continue to play an important role to facilitate their application.

Animal Genetics DepartmentThe Animal Genetics Department in CRAG (UAB) performs research activities in animal genomics and in quantitative and population genetics of domestic animals. Scientists of the Department are experienced researchers in molecular and quantitative genetics, QTL detection and expression
studies in cattle, pigs and small ruminants. The group is an officially recognized quality research group (Generalitat de Catalunya, GRC 2009SGR-100) since 1989.
The main research activities of the Animal Genetics De-partment are:
QTL characterization and gene discovery of characters •of economical interest in domestic animals.Structural and functional genomics of porcine and ru-•minant species.Use of molecular markers and implementation of Ge-•nomic Selection in domestic animals.Host-pathogen interaction in the resistance/suscepti-•bility to infectious diseases in farm animals.Genetic conservation of endangered local breeds of •domestic animals.Development of statistical and computational tools in •animal genomics.Study of the effects of domestication and artificial se-•lection in livestock species.Technology transfer to the private sector.•
1. Farm Animal GenomicsThe activities of the group have a strong commitment towards the development of new tools for high throughput genomics in domestic animals, among them, the applica-tion of genotyping to gene identification of economical value traits in farm animals particularly in pigs.

2. Statistical and Computational tools applied to Animal Breeding and Quantitative GeneticsMost of the traits that are of socio economic importance in domestic animals are complex, and genes involved in the-se traits difficult to characterize because their effects are usually small and confounded. The main area of research of the group is to develop statistical and computational tools that help us to identify these genes. The group is also concerned with studying how man has shaped the pattern of genetic variation in livestock species, mainly in the pig, through domestication and artificial selection.
