The most direct impacts will be in the interdisciplinary training of the student, the novel approaches and fundamental new insights into the biology of developmental transitions and the sharing of these findings and data through high quality publications and the webportal. In addition to that, there are clear downstream economic impacts related to this research. Understanding the environmental sensitivity of the underlying regulatory pathways will be of pivotal importance for optimising crop performance in new climates. In Europe and most of the World, predicted climate change will demand mitigation strategies including changes in crop sowing and harvesting dates, the introduction of cultivars with different relationships between developmental transitions and seasonal progression, and breeding for robust performance under stressful conditions. This project will determine tissue-specific gene expression networks to understand developmental trade-offs and optimise strategies for the stable, synchronised production of quality vegetables in Brassica oleracea. This knowledge will underpin breeding strategies for optimizing future Brassica crops.

最直接的影响将是学生的跨学科培训，发展转变生物学的新方法和基本新见解，以及通过高质量出版物和门户网站分享这些发现和数据。除此之外，与本研究相关的下游经济影响也很明显。了解潜在调控途径的环境敏感性对于优化新气候下的作物性能至关重要。在欧洲和世界大部分地区，预测的气候变化将要求采取减缓战略，包括改变作物播种和收获日期，引进在发育过渡和季节进展之间具有不同关系的品种，以及在压力条件下培育强劲的业绩。该项目将确定组织特异性基因表达网络，以了解发育权衡和优化策略，以稳定、同步生产优质蔬菜。这些知识将为优化未来芸苔属作物的育种策略奠定基础。
