On May 9th, the UNTWIST project took part in a joint field event with the CARINA project at the experimental farm of the University of Bologna in Cadriano (BO), Italy. The event brought together approximately 30 participants, including farmers, seed company representatives, technical advisors, and researchers, fostering a dynamic environment for knowledge sharing and field-based…
The UNTWIST consortium recently gathered at Rothamsted Research (UK) for a two-day project meeting, bringing together all partners to review progress, strengthen collaboration, and align priorities for the final phase of this ambitious initiative. The meeting marked an important milestone as the project enters its final stretch. Partners shared updates on technical achievements, discussed next…
Lipids mitigate the impact of stress and are important for seed oil yield and quality. The effects of drought on camelina lipid metabolism were investigated in a controlled environment trial at the Bologna University experimental farm. Four camelina lines, selected from a larger collection based on their diverse response to drought stress, were investigated for…
Building upon the outcomes of the UNTWIST field trials as well as genomic and metabolomic analyses with 54 camelina genotypes, four focus lines were selected to be tested in a drought stress trial at the experimental farm of the University of Bologna (UNIBO). The trial was performed using lysimeters to allow precise control of soil…
