Plant Health: why research is so important
Science is fundamental to protect plants. As an introduction to a new series of articles on plant health, plant genomics expert Pere Puigdomènech tells us why. 40% of world crops could be lost every year due to different pests and diseases (FAO)…
Climate change could lead to dramatic shifts in dryland ecosystems
A study published in Science by ERC grantee Dr Fernando T. Maestre shows how increases in aridity such as those forecasted under climate change lead to abrupt shifts in dryland ecosystems worldwide, limiting their capacity to sustain life and…

New app tells farmers how much fertiliser their crops need
Being unable to accurately gage the nutritional needs of crops can result in over-fertilisation; polluting soil, air and water. LiveSEN has developed a real-time, portable biosensor that measures nitrogen levels and, with Big Data-driven…

How do you make plants drought-resistant without stunting growth?
Stressed plants typically stop growing. With her ERC grant, Prof. Ana Caño-Delgado has developed and is applying an innovative approach to generate drought-resistant plants that continue growing. This could play an important role in ensuring food…

Wake-up call for soil microbes
Our soils are inhabited by millions of microorganisms; however, the majority of them lay dormant. In her ERC project, Prof. Dagmar Woebken explores the mechanisms that allow soil microorganisms to go into dormancy and thus survive unfavorable…

Bottom up climate change research
The increase of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere as a result of human activity is impacting the natural carbon cycle, modifying how the element travels between land and atmosphere. How will our future climate impact this exchange? How will…
