Climate change imposes co-occurringstresses, the effects of which have been traditionally studied individually.However, stresses (different abiotic and/or biotic) are putting pressure onagriculture simultaneously. The project will investigate the effect of combinedstresses in relevant crops, focusing on the plant holobiont and consideringboth food security and functional/technological quality aspects. To this aim,the project will use more traditional approaches together with multi-omics, togain a comprehensive view of the multifaceted responses of plants to climatechange.
