Abstract
WHEATSUSTAIN project aims at deciphering the complex regulatory networks at the bases of the efficient use of resources and the adaptive/plastic responses to water and nutrient shortage in wheat, by a unique combination of physiology, genomics and metabolomics. In detail, we will: •target the deep biology of wheat adaptation to water (W) shortage and macronutrient nitrogen (N) and phospho-rous (P) availability in single and combined (multiple) stress. •analyze the developmental, physiological, transcriptomics and metabolomics changes during the long-term pro-gression of stress, close to real field conditions, in a range of growth stages and tissues. •leverage the most updated reference genomes, genes and metabolites network analysis to decipher the complex response to stresses. •address the natural variation impact on the plastic response to single- and combined-stress and adaptation, by taking advantage of the recently developed Tetraploid Wheat Pangenome.
