Climate instability is a growing threat to food security, but a “bright finding” lies in the untapped resilience of wild crop relatives. 

In this webinar, Inna Mashevska will talk about her research which, in line with the European Green Deal, bridges cutting-edge genomics with high-performance computing to unlock this potential. By analysing drought-adaptive traits in wild rye, this work reveals a hidden genetic reservoir, providing a hopeful roadmap for molecular breeding. 

Crucially, the speed of Next-Generation Sequencing turns the impossible task of sorting billions of base pairs into an achievable reality. This efficiency offers a powerful source of hope, accelerating the development of climate-resilient crops for a sustainable future.

Speaker

Inna Mashevska, PhD student at the Wroklaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences, Poland.
