New bioRxiv preprints from #DACWIRE project!
Three new studies explore how Lupinus angustifolius (blue lupin), a crop wild relative, is adapting to drought and changing climates. Here's a quick overview 👇

Our DACWIRE project on drought adaptation of crop wild relatives is thriving! Plants are growing very well. We've just inaugurated a new drought exclusion facility. We've also started measuring plant traits @iicg-urjc.bsky.social @biodiversosurjc.bsky.social #DroughtAdaptation #CropScienc #DACWIRE

This is a contribution of the Research project #DACWIRE on drought adaptation in crop wild relatives dacwire.weebly.com

A month after planting, the plants are still growing. In the meantime, we are adjusting the irrigation for the drought-controlled experiment. #DACWIRE #cropwildrelatives #climateadaptation

The work in preparing the seeding has been great. We have reached 90% germination and the plants look great. #DACWIRE #cropwildrelatives #climateadaptation

Within the scope of the #DACWIRE project about #cropwildrelative conservation we have developed a workshop on seed conservation in the facilities of the www.urjc.es. We had a great time with the students of the different degrees of the URJC.

DACWIRE Adaptation to drought is critical for many species, especially those that thrive in the Mediterranean area. Knowing the processes by which a species can develop a rapid adaptation to drought can be...

Third year of #DACWIRE project on drought adaptation of #cropwildrelatives. This month we have launched two key experiments that will allow us to detect drought adaptation in Lupinus.
