From 21 February to 1 March, AgroParisTech and its partner INRAE will showcase the use of camelina and several activities from the UNTWIST project at the Salon International de l’Agriculture in Paris. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore camelina as an intermediate summer crop, learn about ongoing breeding programs aimed at improving its adaptation to…
The UNTWIST project is proud to announce the publication of a new research article: “Consumer preferences for Camelina oil: impact of sensory perceptions and information disclosure on acceptance of an unfamiliar oil coming from a minor crop.” This study investigates how French consumers perceive camelina oil, a traditional but relatively unknown oil derived from a…
Camelina was tested in three years of field trials in Italy, Spain, France, and the UK in different cropping systems to test its integration into farmers’ current rotations. Based on the results of these trials, protocols were developed with recommendations for optimized and locally adapted cultivation practices. A protocol for introducing camelina into farmer´s…
Tuesday, the 4th of July at 2:00 p.m., INRAE, Versailles This day provides an opportunity to present the European UNTWIST project, which aims to understand camelina’s tolerance mechanisms to water and heat stress while adapting it to different cropping modalities. It also provides an opportunity to visit trial plots and discuss the potential and challenges…
In the framework of Networking activities with other projects, UNTWIST has linked up with CARINA which it plans to carry out collaborative actions in the coming months, in particular the organization of meetings between both projects for results presentation and analysis of present and future collaboration. Both projects have established an interaction plan which includes…
For more than 20 years, JOBIM has been the annual event that federates French bioinformatics. The 2022 edition was held on the Beaulieu Campus of the University of Rennes 1, from 5 to 8th July. Around 500 participants attended this edition. The organization of JOBIM was led by the Société Française de BioInformatique (SFBI), in…
The integration of camelina as summer catch crop at INRAE France Versailles will give the possibility to analyse the field trials work of the camelina core collection during this spring/summer 2021, that has been the first step of the UNTWIST french partner research. The first results of the field trial harvest at Versailles after cutting…
In the frame of UNTWIST project, we specifically dedicated efforts to joint networking activities with different projects financed to establish a fruitful collaboration and share expertise and knowledge on plant adaptation. UNTWIST would like to invite coordinators of other related projects to join the UNTWIST COMMUNITY as supporting experts. Your project will be portrayed…
Through our NEWSLETTER we want to tell you about the activities and findings that UNTWISTER’S Team is developping in the framework of the project. To do so, we plan to publish a regularly a Newsletter that compiles the progress and results of this exciting initiative. WE HAVE ALREADY PUBLISHED THE FIRST ONE!!! If you…
UNTWIST will use the naturally resilient and European native oilseed crop camelina to unravel adaptation mechanisms to heat and drought stress, to develop predictive models, and to optimize agronomic management strategies. Photo credit : JD Faure (INRAE) The UNTWIST consortium has gathered a core collection of 54 camelina lines (from 11 countries) encompassing diverse…
UNTWIST project organized by video conference the 20th October 2020 a sample workshop coordinated by INRAe/AgroParisTech Versailles to discuss and provide consensus methods for camelina samples to be handled during the project. The sample workshop defined and agreed a uniform seed cleaning method for camelina comprising four steps. Several parameters for plant growth conditions in…
Many thanks to all @UNTWIST_H2020 partners for the fruitful discussions during today’s workshop on the upcoming #UNTWIST experiments and the important planning of #Camelinasativa sampling.
