Stabilizing CROP yield under unfavourable conditions by molecular PRIM(E)ing

Project description

DEENESFRITPL

Stabilising crop yield under unfavourable conditions by molecular priming

Today’s agricultural industry is required to deliver ever-increasing food and feed amounts under the pressures of the climate crisis. Moreover, consumers and regulators increasingly demand environmentally friendly solutions to combat abiotic and biotic stress associated with yield losses. Biostimulants represent an alternative to synthetic agrochemicals and can sustainably improve crop productivity. A science-based understanding of their beneficial effects as well as avenues for fine-tuning their bioactivities are needed. The EU-funded CropPrime project aims to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying stress priming and deliver optimised biostimulants to counteract stress-induced yield losses. To achieve this task, leading plant scientists in abiotic and biotic stress signalling from Europe, Africa and South America will join forces with an industrial partner specialising in biostimulants production and marketing.
