Genetic and molecular control of Apple tree tolerance to soil water stress

AFEF-AGAP CIRAD-SupAgro Montpellier Lamia Krichen Agreenskill incoming fellowship (September 1st, 2014 - August 31th, 2015)

SLIDE 2

Understand the mechanisms of response to water deprivation in apple tree (2 genotypes: GS and ST) Detect the difference of behaviour for the two genotypes GS and ST and different organs from each genotype (apex, leaf, root) Identify candidate genes for tolerance to water stress in apple tree

Objectives
