DESCRIPTION

My research focuses on the cereals breeding especially barley crop and development crop sustainable under climate change for drought and temperature_ based on seed diversity and population evolution. I enrich the local breeding with farmer collaboration to select spikes from barley and wheat evolutionary population-based on farmer functional traits and specific population adaptation. I arranged a collection of wild barley and wild wheat to study the evolution of the population over long periods, and we are going now to study the wild wheat under different temperature zones to design a more efficient proposal for the dynamic EX-situ conservation of wild progenitor.
