Exploring Microbiomes from Extreme Environments to Enhance Crop Resilience

Welcome to our project, “Deciphering Microbiomes from Extreme Environments for the Improvement of Crop Resilience to Climate Change, Food Security, and Safety.” We are dedicated to uncovering new insights that will revolutionize agricultural practices worldwide. Our research focuses on bacteria tolerant to cadmium found in cocoa farming soils. Cadmium tolerance is crucial for sustainable cocoa production, especially under changing climate conditions.

FIELD EXPERIMENT 
IN ARID ENVIRONMENT

In the framework of the MiCroResi project, metabolomic and microbiome analyses are being performed in collaboration with the Phytochemicals and Healthy Food Laboratory (LabFAS, CEBAS-CSIC). Our aim consists of investigating the effects of extreme aridity conditions on the microbial biodiversity of the agricultural system and in turn on crop yield and phytochemical quality.
