Collaborative project: Development of an experimental station and evaluation of phenotyping strategies for the reliable screening of ornamental plant genotypes with respect to a combined drought- and insolation stress tolerance – Subproject 2
Project
Project code: 2814503310
Contract period: 01.04.2011
- 30.09.2014
Budget: 135,883 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.
