The MEICOM project aims to enhance food security by training future scientists and plant breeders to manipulate meiotic recombination in various crops. This initiative addresses the limitations of traditional plant breeding methods by exploring genetic variation to improve crop yields.
The increasing growth of human population and the intrinsic increase in world pollution, together with the uncertain challenge of climate change will undeniably require an internationally sustained effort to meet the global food demand.
An increase of food production by at least 50% has been projected to be necessary by 2050.
Thus, Food Security is one of the most important challenges for the future.
Classical plant breeding has been crucial to improve our crop species from the beginning of huma…
