In many Mediterranean regions, rainfall is expected to decrease and in many cases become scarcer and more irregular. Future projections show an increase in average and extreme temperatures in the Mediterranean area. Wheat is mostly grown on dry land, so it is likely to be more affected by periods of water stress due to more frequent droughts.
Consequently, it will be essential to know the new plant material that is more tolerant to high temperatures during the period of heading and grain filling, for which this project will focus mainly on determining the plant material that shows greater resilience to new climatic scenarios.
The GO_CLIMSOST TRIGO project aims to identify agronomic parameters that will allow us to identify, within soft wheat plant material, those varieties that respond to the new demands of the production sector and society in Spain, primarily adaptation to climate change and reducing the impact on rural areas.
- Recommendation of soft wheat varieties that show better adaptation to situations with water stress.
- Proposal for soft wheat genotypes with greater tolerance to high temperatures during the grain formation and filling period.
- Cultivation strategies that incorporate plant material adapted to climate change and improve the sustainability of bread wheat production.
- Plan for transfer and dissemination of results.
- Orientation of plant material that shows greater efficiency in the use of nitrogen.
- Recommendation of varieties with a higher tolerance to biotic agents that cause foliar diseases in bread wheat crops.
- List of agronomic variables (indicators) related to the adaptation of soft wheat cultivation to climate change and sustainability.

The result will be a recommendation for the types of varieties best suited to water stress, helping producers decide which material to plant when these water stress scenarios, due to more frequent droughts, become more common.
