Verbundprojekt: Entwicklung eines Versuchsstandes und Testung von Phänotypisierungs-Verfahren zum zuverlässigen Screening von Zierpflanzen-Genotypen hinsichtlich einer kombinierten Trocken- und Strahlungsstresstoleranz - Teilprojekt 3

Project


Project code: 2814503410
Contract period: 01.04.2011 - 30.09.2014
Budget: 204,908 Euro
Purpose of research: Experimental development

As a consequence of the observed climate change, more extreme weather conditions have to be expected which includes prolonged drought periods and concomitant high insolation. The consequently rising demand for climate-adapted ornamental cultivars will by faced by Klemm & Sohn GmbH & Co KG in an innovative joint project together with the Jülich Research Center and the Geisenheim Research Center. In this project, a reliable phenotyping strategy in connection with a greenhouse-based experimental station will be developed and evaluated. With this method, Petunia cultivars will be characterized and evaluated under near-practical conditions with respect to its combined drought and insolation stress tolerance.
