👣The UNICT research team carried out a collection mission along Palermo and Trapani provinces to monitor three B. rupestris populations, one of the five Brassica wild relatives species highlighted  by the #COUSINproject 🥦 cousinproject.eu/events/field...

As part of the COUSIN project 🌱, we’re studying how crop wild relatives (CWR) handle abiotic (🌞🔥🧂) and biotic (🐛🍄🦠) stresses. We’ve just sown different genetic lines of Thinopyrum intermedium (intermediate wheatgrass) with alfalfa 🌱 @uvic-ucc.cat @udivulga.bsky.social @cousinproject.bsky.social
