Root2Resilience: Root phenotyping and genetic improvement for rotational crops resilient to environmental change

Description du projet

DEENESFRITPL

Un examen approfondi des racines de la rotation des cultures

Le changement climatique exerce une pression croissante sur le secteur agricole. Dans le but de fournir des récoltes adaptées à l’évolution des environnements, le projet Root2Res, financé par l’UE, améliorera la résilience des systèmes de rotation des cultures. Il examinera les caractéristiques pertinentes des racines en tenant compte de l’impact du changement climatique. Les innovations comprennent le phénotypage, ainsi que des outils génétiques et de modélisation qui aideront les producteurs à évaluer les génotypes nouveaux et existants de différentes cultures (céréales, pommes de terre, légumineuses) comme idéotypes des racines pour différents environnements de sol et de climat en Europe. Il s’intéressera également au rôle potentiel des cultures émergentes (patate douce, lentille) afin d’améliorer la résilience au changement climatique.

Objectif

Root2Res will deliver a package of solutions to enhance the resilience of rotational cropping system by considering relevant root traits with respect to the impact of climate change. Innovations will include phenotyping, genetic and modelling tools that will help breeders evaluate, in field and controlled conditions, novel and existing genotypes of a range of crops (Cereals, Potatoes, Legumes) as root ideotypes for different soil and climatic environments across Europe. Root2Res will also investigate the potential role of emerging crops (Sweet potato, Lentil) to enhance resilience to environmental change, by assessing their genotypic and phenotypic variation. The environments targeted include those predicted to suffer from the largest impact of climate change on yield in Europe. Resilience to stress will focus on greater variation in water availability (both drought and waterlogging) and interactions with other stresses (temperature, reduced nutrient availability). We will also consider the impact of novel understanding of the plasticity of traits to stress. Traits to be assessed will focus on exploration, exploitation and rhizosphere microbiome related traits integrated in an extended phenotype. The impacts of the more resilient ideotypes designed in Root2Res on the delivery of climate change mitigation outcomes (soil carbon sequestration, nutrient utilisation and greenhouse gas emission) will be assessed in field. Root2Res will integrate a strong interaction with stakeholders all through the project, particularly breeders and farmers. The ambition of Root2Res is to deliver crops adapted to changing environments and able to mitigate climate change, by utilising existing genetic diversity for breeding programs in a range of crop species essential to cropping systems and then widening understanding to crops suitable for resilient future systems. This ambition will be supported by the joined commitment of a multidisciplinary partnerships across Europe and beyond.
