Research Network on Resilient and Quality Cereals for Spanish Food Security (CERES)

A network that aims to coordinate the efforts of Spanish public research in physiology , genetics, phenotyping, biochemistry and biotechnology of cereal crops for:

1. To propose strategies that allow combining the use of genetic, genomic and phenonomic resources to mitigate the impact of climate change on cereal production,
2. To produce value-added cereals and
3. Strengthen communication channels and deliver results with the seed, fertilizer and agricultural technology development sector.

To this end, it brings together research groups focused on plant genetic resources, genetics and genomics, pre-breeding and improvement, functional and nutritional quality, physiology at various scales, phenotyping, biochemistry and molecular biology of cereals.
