ABOUT US
Wheat is widely grown under semi-arid conditions. The majority of the wheat in the developing world, more than 100 mills Ha, is affected by abiotic stress, as heat and water scarcity because of climatic and/or irrigation problems. The activity under CRP Wheat titled, “Precision field-based Phenotyping Platform for Drought/Heat Tolerance-Morocco (PWPP) / Implementation of high-throughput Phenotyping (HTP) on the Lysimeter Station (PhysioTron) will generate high-quality phenotyping data on abiotic stresses (drought, heat + drought), complementing the potential of new molecular selection technologies, and therefore, expanding the precision and prediction value of phenotyping/genotypic data for new germplasm emerging from the WHEAT and partner breeding pipelines.
