PRIMER: Priming Strategies for Heat-Resilient Tomatoes

As global temperatures rise, agriculture faces unprecedented challenges. PRIMER develops innovative genetic, chemical, and physiological priming approaches that enhance the ability of tomato plants to withstand heat stress and maintain productivity, supporting sustainable, climate-smart agriculture. By harnessing plants’ natural capacity to activate protective mechanisms before severe stress occurs, PRIMER advances innovative priming strategies with real-world potential. Integrating insights from genetics, chemical biology, physiology, and computational modelling, PRIMER aims to deliver both fundamental understanding and practical applications.
