Improving the resistance of legume crops to combined abiotic and biotic stress (ABSTRESS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

ABSTRESS applies combined, integrated systems biology and comparative genomics approaches to conduct a comprehensive study of the gene networks implicated in the interaction of drought stress and Fusarium infection in legumes. It uses Medicago truncatula as a model to rapidly identify characteristics for introgression into elite pea varieties and a field test of their performance against existing ...

Strategies for Organic and Low-input Integrated Breeding And Management (SOLIBAM)

Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

SOLIBAM will develop specific and novel breeding approaches integrated with management practices to improve the performance, quality, sustainability and stability of crops adapted to organic and low-input systems, in their diversity in Europe and taking into account small-scale farms in Africa. SOLIBAM will: 1. Identify traits specific for adaptation to low-input/organic conditions over a wide ran ...
