Here you can find all the news related to the Booster project
Representatives from BOOSTER partners met at the University of Cape Town from 3–5 June 2025 to present achievements, tackle upcoming challenges, and reinforce collaboration. BOOSTER is setting an example in global research collaboration by aligning its scientific work with biodiversity conservation and benefit-sharing principles. Through rigorous greenhouse screening and validation protocols, Aphea.Bio has identified promising microbial biostimulants that significantly enhance drought tolerance in maize. BOOSTER project is pioneering molecular priming technologies to enhance climate resilience in maize and teff, receiving industry recognition. The BOOSTER project has made significant strides in 2024, with various activities organized by consortium partner CPSBB that have showcased the project’s impact. The University of Cape Town (UCT), a partner in the BOOSTER project, recently expanded its outreach and knowledge-sharing efforts with South African institutions, particularly focusing on the potential of drought-resilient crops. The BOOSTER project recently held key meetings to review progress, address challenges, and showcase innovative trials to enhance tef’s drought tolerance through genomics and plant growth-promoting Rhizobacteria, bringing together researchers, officials, and industry stakeholders. The BOOSTER project continues its mission to advance agricultural research, with contributions to high-profile scientific events, like European Maize Meeting. By leveraging productive meetings, strategic collaborations, innovative fieldwork in hybrid maize, and upcoming advancements in molecular techniques. CREA remains committed to informing stakeholders about BOOSTER’s ongoing and future achievements.

Il CREA al coordinamento del progetto Horizon Europe (BOOSTER – Boosting drought tolerance in key cereals in the era of climate change) per il miglioramento della tolleranza alla siccità dei cereali. Migliorare la tolleranza alla siccità del mais e del teff, un cereale poco conosciuto in Italia, dalle elevate proprietà benefiche, facilmente digeribile e molto adatto per la dieta dei soggetti affetti da celiachia e diabete.
Strategie innovative per aumentare la resilienza dei cereali ai cambiamenti climatici
Siccità: dalla ricerca CREA, innovazioni per cereali più resistenti
