Climatic variability and extreme weather events are increasingly impacting crop yield and value. UNTWIST addresses this challenge and will take advantage of the climate-resilient, traditional European oilseed crop camelina to provide a mechanistic understanding of successful adaptation strategies to drought and heat stress. Moreover, it will develop predictive models and robust markers for crop performance for variable environments. UNTWIST´s long term aim is to improve crop resilience and yield stability in changing, challenging climates; its legacy will contribute towards increasing the sustainability of European agriculture.
The integration of camelina as summer catch crop at INRAE France Versalles will give the possibility to analyse the field trials work of the camelina core collection during this spring/summer 2021, that has been the first step of the UNTWIST…
In the frame of the UNTWIST the camelina field trial at Rothamsted was harvested in August 2021 with the help of the Rothamsted Farm Team and a small plot combine. Seed yield, oil content, and composition will now be analyzed…
In the frame of UNTWIST project, we specifically dedicated efforts to joint networking activities with different projects financed to establish a fruitful collaboration and share expertise and knowledge on plant adaptation. UNTWIST would like to invite coordinators of other…
Through our NEWSLETTER we want to tell you about the activities and findings that UNTWISTER’S Team is developping in the framework of the project. To do so, we plan to publish a regularly a Newsletter that compiles the progress…
