How does a plant respond when it is exposed to multiple stresses at the same time?
Smart Data Breeding Methodology
CropXR’s research program entails research on plant resilience to develop a ‘smart data breeding methodology’ and research on the societal impact of this innovation. The program comprises of nine research Work Packages.
Nine Research Work Packages
Developing resilient cropping systems that align with real-world farming.
Developing a data catalyst for resilient cropping systems by integrating experiments, multi-omics data and modelling.
Managing plant disease in a changing climate.
Maintaining the vitality and yield of flowers, fruits, and seeds.
Optimizing root architecture for drought stress resilience.
Innovation dynamics and societal impact.
Optimizing carbon use for yield in drought-stressed storage organ crops – in potato and onion.
Molecular mechanisms of growth-resilience trade-offs.
Translating resilience models to crops.
