ADAPT Accelerated Development of multiple-stress tolerAnt PoTato

Coordinator: UNIVERSITAT WIEN (AT)

ADAPT identifies molecular mechanisms of adaptation to combined stress in potato to develop new strategies for the improvement of productivity, yield stability and product quality under multiple stress conditions. Potato is one of the most important food crops worldwide and a major constraint to secure yield is its sensitivity to environmental stresses, particularly heat and drought, which is often followed by flooding in the field. Whilst limited knowledge of combined stress signalling pathways is available in model plants such as Arabidopsis, this knowledge is almost completely lacking in c…

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 4.3 years from 2020-07-01 to 2024-10-31.
