If you are interested in microbial and evolutionary ecology You may be interested in doing your doctoral thesis in this project "PID2021-127841OA-I00. ADAPTATION TO DROUGHT IN WILD RELATIVES OF CROPS: A INTEGRATIVE APPROACH (DACWIRE)”. This project andstudies how plant species geographically extended as L. angustifolious experience great spatial heterogeneity in environmental conditions abiotic and biotic. These populations are subject to selective pressures that favorno determined phenotypes that are best adapted to the prevailing conditions. Adaptations to abiotic conditions such as water stress within the current scenario of climate change are considered very relevant. It has recently been known whate plants, in addition to their genome, contain that of the microbiota associated with important interactions inter and intracellular. The composition and structure of the microbial community of plants can play a role. essential role in optimizing the adaptive response to drought.
