Stress adaptation in plants - A molecular approach of socio-economic interest

Obiettivo

The capability of plants to adapt to unfavourable environmental conditions will enable reduced inputs for plant protection and nutrition during plant production. Research of the proposal on molecular tolerance mechanisms will help to establish new directions in plant breeding, thus supporting strategies, to protect soil, natural mineral resources and water as well as to improve food quality and health care. Functional analysis and phylogenetic studies will contribute to initiate functional marker strategies for breeding on general plant tolerance as an alternative to transgene approaches and indirect marker - assisted selection strategies.

The proposal aims to complement existing Excellency at the University of Évora in research and teaching in the areas Plant Diseases and Pathogen Diagnosis, Plant Breeding and Biotechnology as well as Soil Conservation by a Chair for research and teaching on Molecular Plant Reactions on Environmental Stress. The Chair will contribute to establish a centre of multidisciplinary competence on sustainable and healthy plant production. The associated groups will be dedicated in joint actions, to transmit interdisciplinary knowledge as well as the potential of science to students and the literate public.

A special focus of the Chair on mobility management as well as on training for project and career development in Europe, and finally, the organisation of a Large Conference committed to the research topics of the proposal are assigned to enhance international networking and the force of European Research. The Chair Holder returned from a mobility action in a third country, reintegrated in her native land, and was invited for a short-term stay as Visiting Professor at the Host Institution. To strengthen international networking, the Host decided to ask jointly with the Chair Holder for a Marie Curie Chair.
