Workpackage 1: In-situ characterisation of crop wild relatives for their better conservation

Workpackage 1 focuses on the following key objectives and tasks to enhance the in-situ conservation of crop wild relatives.

Objectives

  • Identify priorities for in-situ conservation of wheat, oilseed rape and sugar beet crop wild relatives using occurrence maps and new samplings in-situ
  • Predict the vulnerability of three wheat crop wild relatives to the ongoing climate changes
  • Characterize the diversity of crop wild relatives in-situ that will be relevant to improve the access to nutrients from thesoil (microbiota)
  • Characterize the diversity of crop wild relatives in-situ that will be relevant to improve plant immunity

Tasks

  • Identification of best sites for new crop wild relative collections and the establishment of genetic reserves
  • Prioritizing the sampling of wild populations via the assessment of ferality, population structure and functional traits (Brassica oleracea and relatives)
  • Assessing populations vulnerability using temporal analysis and genomic predictions
  • Diversity in crop wild relatives related to plant × microbiota interaction
  • Diversity in crop wild relatives related to diseases resistance
