Phenotypic characterization of potato variation in root system architecture and contribution to abiotic stress tolerance
Root system is key towards more resilient and resource efficient (water, nutrients) varieties. However, variation in potato RSA (root system architecture) and its contribution to crop performance and responses to stresses have bee ...

Studying the genomic basis of breeding traits in industrial crops
The development of a bio-based economy requires the availability of crops and varieties that can supply biomass and bio-molecules in sufficient amounts and quality for economically-viable bio-based value chains. Non-food crops tha ...

Activation of fungal receptors via receptomics: A proof of principle study
G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are extracellular signalling receptors that detect environmental cues. Fungi primarily sense their environment through GPCR-mediated signalling pathways, which regulate key aspects of fungal bio ...
