Deliverables

Documents, reports (2)

Soil samples enriched in plant rhizosphere collected from regions with a long history of drought

Intermediate deliverable, linked to D3.4, to collect soil samples enriched in plant rhizosphere will be collected in different European lands, in eight teff agricultural and non-agricultural land, and in regions where E. pilosa. E. curvula and E. nindensis occur naturally - linked to task T3.1 of WP3

Stakeholders Engagement Plan version 1

First version of the plan for engaging the stakeholders and constitute the SN - Linked to task T5.5 of WP5.

Data sets, microdata, etc (3)

Maize drought stress protocol and optimal timepoint for collecting samples

Intermediate deliverable, linked to D1.3, to identify the optimal maize drought stress application and a timepoint that will be chosen for large scale AS MOA/RNA-seq experiment - linked to task T1.1 of WP1

Map of transcription factor binding to cis regulatory elements in maize plants grown under normal and drought conditions

TF occupancy coverage data and peak maps of putative binding sites for each of the 50 maize lines grown under normal and drought conditions - Linked to task T1.3 of WP1.

Teff drought stress protocol and optimal timepoint for collecting samples

Intermediate deliverable, linked to D1.4, to identify the optimal teff drought stress application and a timepoint that will be chosen for large scale AS MOA/RNA-seq experiment - linked to T1.2 of WP1.
