From controlled laboratory experiments to high-throughput phenotyping and real field conditions, BEST CROP researchers are combining multiple approaches to understand better how plants adapt to changing environments. A central piece of this puzzle lies in #stomata, microscopic pores that regulate gas exchange. Their dynamic behaviour directly influences plant water-use efficiency, carbon assimilation, and ultimately crop productivity. By studying stomatal function across different scales, from precise lab systems to drone-based field monitoring, scientists can gain valuable insights into plant performance under both optimal and stress conditions. 📩 Read more in our latest newsletter and discover how multi-scale approaches are shaping the future of crop improvement. #BestCrop #PlantScience #SustainableAgriculture #CropResearch #EUProjects #ClimateResilience #Innovation Università degli Studi di Milano | Lund University | University of Düsseldorf | Palacký University Olomouc | CREA Ricerca | Università degli Studi di Padova | SQIM srl | Sogis Industria Chimica Spa | Institut Mines-Télécom (IMT) | University of Tartu | Consorzio Italbiotec | Usovsko food a.s. | FRD - CODEM | SIS - Società Italiana Sementi
