We are thrilled to announce that the UNTWIST project has recently published a new research article titled: “Heat stress resistance in Camelina sativa: effects on morphology, physiology, yield, and seed quality.” This study, conducted in collaboration with the Department of Agricultural and Food Sciences (DISTAL), Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna, Italy, and Rothamsted…
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…
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…
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…
All UNTWIST partners met in Bologna for the technical follow-up meeting and the field visit last May. During the first-day consortium meeting, the activities carried out by each of the partners were presented and the incipient results of the work carried out in each work package were shared. The action plan for the coming…
In spring 2022, UNIBO set up a semi-controlled environment trial to test the response to the drought of the four Focus Lines selected from the UNTWIST core collection. UNT4, UNT18, UNT21, and UNT46 were sown in lysimeters located at the experimental farm of the University of Bologna, Italy. Each lysimeter contained 1 m3 of soil…
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…
