DESCRIPTION

My research focuses on the cereals and legumes 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. These spikes evaluate through participatory plant breeding and a conventional breeding program. I arranged a collection of wild barley and wild wheat, and lentils and chickpeas landraces zones to design a more efficient proposal to improve our breeding program to mitigate climate change and decrease small farming vulnerability .
