GrassLandscape - Bridging landscape genomics and quantitative genetics for a regional adaptation of European grasslands to climate change (FACCE ERA NET; January 2015- December 2017)
The GrassLandscape project aimed to detect genomic markers of climatic adaptation in the natural diversity of perennial ryegrass by combining Landscape genomics analyses, a phylogeographic reconstruction and Genome-Wide Association Studies of phenotypic traits. Results will be used to set up strategies (assisted migration, breeding) for a regional adaptation of the diversity of this grassland species to the foreseen anthropogenic climate change throughout Europe.
