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…
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…
The UNTWIST project took part in the London Science Museum Family Event Future Explorers in February 2022 aimed at children aged 7+. The aim of the event was to raise awareness to climate change and sustainability while exploring the cutting-edge STEM research currently taking place to help mitigate further changes and how will life…
In the frame of the UNTWIST the camelina field trial at Rothamsted was harvested in August 2021 with the help of the Rothamsted Farm Team and a small plot combine. Seed yield, oil content, and composition will now be analyzed in the 54 camelina varieties to assess the performance of this spring crop in the…
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…
The UNTWIST Camelina core collection has been brought together from cultivars growing in diverse climates and geographic locations. It includes 31 different landraces, 20 lines sourced from breeding programmes and 3 commercial cultivars. The core collection incorporates a range of genetics, phenotypes, architecture and adaptive plasticity. This means the core collection is an excellent…
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.
