Studying Brassica napus pathways involved in combined stress responses and their impact on yield traits by profiling plant-to-plant variations in a natural field setting Ghent University
Due to a growing world population and climate change, we will increasingly rely on agricultural crops that are engineered to have a high yield and resistance to environmental stresses. We propose a new experimental paradigm to study (a)biotic stress responses in plants and their impact on yield traits under field conditions, involving -omics profiling and phenotyping of individual wild-type plants.
