Our Research<\/h1>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n \n \n
\n

Mediterranean agriculture faces major challenges associated to climate change and sustainability. UToPIQ aims at creating new varieties of tomato for intercropping (IC), a Conservation Agriculture practice that promotes biodiversity\n and enhances crop resilience to extreme environmental changes while increasing crop yields.\n
The specific objectives of UToPIQ are the following:<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Create shade-tolerant tomato lines<\/h4>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n \n \n
\n

Key molecular components of the genetic network that allows plants to perceive the presence of nearby plants will be edited in heat-tolerant tomato cultivars to generate new tomato lines with enhanced tolerance to plant shade<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Investigate SHADE-RELATED INTERPLANT communication<\/h4>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n \n \n
\n

Our unpublished data suggest that volatiles released by shade-exposed plants might regulate development of neighboring plants. This potential communication mechanism will be investigated using our tomato lines. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Analyze performance of GENERATED lines<\/h4>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n \n \n
\n

Agronomic performance, resistance to biotic and abiotic stress, and fruit quality of the generated shade-tolerant tomato lines will be tested in greenhouse and field conditions as well as intercropped with maize and millet<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

ENGAGE with STAKEHOLDERS AND end-users<\/h4>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n \n \n

Drawbacks and opportunities for the project outcomes will be discussed with stakeholders and end-users to target cultivars adapted to local conditions and <\/span>meet\n specific demands of smallholders, local farmers and consumers<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
