UNTWIST Uncover and promote tolerance to temperature and water stress in Camelina sativa
Coordinator: AIT AUSTRIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY GMBH (AT)
European agriculture is increasingly challenged by climatic variability and weather extremes causing drought and temperature stress to crops that are very often highly sensitive to abiotic stress conditions, resulting in low productivity and yield loss. Camelina sativa is a reemerging native European oilseed that has retained its natural stress tolerance and receives attention because of its untapped breeding potential, adaptability, yield stability and high performance in variable environments. UNTWIST will unravel the stress response mechanisms of the climate-resilient crop Camelina and rev…
About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)
Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.
EU contribution: €5.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 5.5 years from 2020-09-01 to 2026-02-28.
