Microbiome Assisted Triticum Resilience In X-dimensions (The MATRIX)

In the MATRIX, we use new microbiome-assisted approaches combined with deep-learning and modelling to quantitatively and predictably improve crop resilience management strategies.

Jesper

MATRIX is a part of the Collaborative Crop Resilience Program (CCRP), together with the projects INTERACT and InRoot, all funded by the Novo Nordic Foundation. We will zoom in on the taxonomic diversity and functional potential of the wheat flag leaf microbiome. Which key microbes are involved in plant protection against biotic and abiotic stress? Combined with machine learning, this allows us to predict microbiome-related changes and their effect on crop resilience and productivity under climate change scenarios.
