Summary

This project develops innovative strategies to enhance drought tolerance in cereals, specifically European maize and Ethiopian teff. It combines genomic analysis to identify drought-resistant traits with eco-friendly biostimulants derived from seaweed and microbes to improve crop resilience under water scarcity.

Objective

Prolonged drought due to climate change has a severe impact on agriculture, requiring measures to secure yield stability under water-shortage conditions.

This project aims to be a BOOSTER for developing innovative and sustainable strategies to create climate resilient and drought tolerant cereals.

Two synergistic strategies will be implemented to achieve this goal.

Firstly, a new approach will identify genomic variants in regulatory regions functionally associated with drought tolerance.
