A consortium of plant geneticists from 14 countries has spent nine years decoding the tomato genome in the hope of breeding better ones.
"Every robot needed differs according to its purpose and the damage," says Tomohisa Ito, a spokesperson for the International Research Institute for Nuclear Decommissioning in Tokyo, a consortium of nuclear plant companies that aims to develop new technologies for cleaning up the Fukushima plant.
This work was completed thanks to a grant from Génoplante, the French consortium for plant genomics.
Inoculation by bacterial consortium stimulates growth of plant mass and rhizogenesis and leads to increased productivity of alfalfa and to improving the amino acid composition of plant leaves.
In case of plants, The Plant Working Group of the Consortium for the Barcode of Life (CBOL) has recently proposed a two-locus combination of matK and rbcL as the standard plant barcode [1].
[C2.] Group Wants to Build Fuel Plant A consortium of European and American nuclear companies wants to build a $1.1 billion plant for processing reactor fuel, the first in this country in half a century.

Amid growing signs of interest in building nuclear power plants, a consortium of companies plans to ask the federal government on Monday for $400 million to help prepare an application to build a reactor.
These consortia represent operators of 67 of the nation's nuclear plants, and their proposals have all focused on building a new plant on sites where plants already operate in much the same way that a consortium of 10 electric utilities built the Yankee Rowe plant, one of the first commercial nuclear plants, in the 1950s.
Entergy Nuclear said yesterday that it had offered to acquire the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant from the consortium of utilities that owns it for $50 million, substantially more than the current value of an offer made in November by the AmerGen Energy Company.
Biofertilizers contain a consortium of nutrients which are needed for plant growth.
