Porsche Stages Plans to Set up a New Painting Plant in Zuffenhausen

Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, has expressed plans to install a new painting plant at its headquarters in Zuffenhausen. Installation cost of the plant is estimated at €200 million. The plant will be erected on the Dürr AG site, and will form an extension of Porsche plant 1. Construction of the plant is expected to start in fall 2008, and the plant is expected to become operational in 2011. The new plant shall include capacity to paint 170 vehicles per day. Commenting on the development, Porsche AG Chief Executive Dr Wendelin Wiedeking said “This decision will further guarantee not only our growth curve, but also a considerable element of the agreement on safeguarding the site for Zuffenhausen which was entered into between the Board and the Works Council in July 2005.

Future of plant sciences explored in new primer

The National Academies have released a new primer on the achievements and promise of plant genome sciences. Based on an expert consensus report from the National Research Council, the booklet explores the potential of the National Plant Genome Initiative -- a federal multiagency project that coordinates research in plant sciences to understand and ultimately harness plants' properties to help meet agriculture, nutrition, energy, and human health needs. For example, by knowing how plants cope with less water, rising temperatures, and other environmental stresses, scientists could develop crops that withstand changing climate conditions.

Rosetta Genomics Launches Plant Biotech Initiative to Leverage microRNA Technologies; Potential Focus on Algal Oil Enhancement

Rosetta Genomics Ltd., a leading developer of microRNA-based diagnostics and therapeutics, has launched Rosetta Green, a microRNA-based plant biotechnology project. Rosetta Green will leverage the knowledge gained at Rosetta Genomics in microRNAs (miRNAs)—a group of short (21–23 nucleotides in length), non-coding genes which regulate the expression of other genes—to develop a wide range of plant-based applications. The company recently completed a financing round from private investors exclusively for this project.

17:48 - Greece: Panic sell-off sends shares to nadir; Banks worst hit

The construction of a recycling plant for solid household waste and biomass will begin in Shumen, North-eastern Bulgaria, in September, said Stefan Terziev, a representative of the project's U.S. investor ICS International Consulting SP, 'Dnevnik a.m.' reports. The 14-month recycling plant project will kick start the development of Shumen's high-tech park. ICS International Consulting SP plans to invest 49 mln euro in the production of bio diesel based on low-temperature waste recycling. The Shumen municipality will provide the 20 ha site for the construction of the plant. The local administration has also vowed to assist the investor in obtaining the relevant construction permits. The facility will have an annual recycling capacity of 2 mln tons of waste.
