Enhancing drought stress adaptation in oilseed rape: yield stability and stress tolerance as selection targets for optimization via physiological phenotyping (STRESS-STOPP)
Project
Project code: 28AD102B21, JKI-RS-08-3484
Contract period: 15.08.2023
- 14.08.2026
Purpose of research: Experimental development
Specifically, STRESS-STOPP uses a network of highly complementary, globally unique phenotyping platforms from the partners IPK, JKI and JLU to record the "physiological phenotypes" over the entire vegetation period. For this purpose, the respective platforms DroughtSpotter XXL (JLU), Plant Culture Hall with Container/PhenoCrane and Rhizotron systems (IPK) and Plantarray (JKI) will set precisely defined, relevant drought stress scenarios based on realistic field conditions and enable extremely detailed recording of plant or root architecture as well as water uptake in the context of G*E interactions over the entire vegetation period from sowing to harvest. In parallel, digital field phenotyping of large, current breeding populations will be conducted using various sensors mounted on drones ("Unmanned Aerial Vehicles"; UAV) in field experiments at different growth rates and times of day and at multiple (predominantly drought stress) locations. The populations under investigation are the result of many years of research and breeding work in which exceptional root and water use traits were identified in plant genetic resources and crossed into elite winter oilseed rape backgrounds.
