Great talk today at UM6P - University Mohammed VI Polytechnic by Dr. Denis Cornet from the Agap Institut - Cirad, diving into advanced image analysis techniques for crop phenotyping! Inspiring insights on how such tools can enhance precision and efficiency in plant research. #CropPhenotyping #PlantScience

Thrilled to kick off the wheat trial planting journey at the #HighThroughputPhenotyping platform #PHENOMA at UM6P - University Mohammed VI Polytechnic! Honored by the visit of Prof. Yasir Serag ALNOR from Kyoto University. Huge thanks to the amazing team for making it happen!🌾👏 Amri Moez Kamal Hejjaoui

Research for FUN vs Research for IMPACT. A nice walk in the wild side today with an inspiring talk by Prof. Yaser Seraj from Kyoto University ! fascinating insights on harnessing wild genes for wheat improvement—boosting drought resistance and heat tolerance! UM6P - University Mohammed VI Polytechnic

In a systemic approach, alongside #wheat ,#legumes play a vital role in #SoilFertility & #HumanHealth. With today’s Wild vs. Cultivated #Lathyrus planting, we’ve reached ~75% of the platform's outdoor plots. #Lentils & #FabaBeans will follow shortly for an exciting season ahead.

How can wild lentil species help to tackle climate change? 💭 👉Uses SDMs to model potential distribution & extinction risk under future climate change scenarios 👉Finds that prioritizing conservation is key to safeguarding biodiversity & food security 🔗doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

First mission of the new season: #phenotyping wheat #drought trials at #PhenoMA🌾💧 Excited to dive into cutting-edge research for sustainable agriculture. Stay tuned for updates! Kamal Hejjaoui Amri Moez Youness en-nahli salma Rouichi UM6P - University Mohammed VI Polytechnic

Wild relatives meet cutting-edge tech at #PhenoMA @UM6P_OFFICIEL. Using #high_throughput #phenotyping & interspecific crosses, we're unlocking new genetic potential for resilient, high-yield #wheat under extreme conditions Amri Moez Kamal Hejjaoui salma Rouichi Youness en-nahli

Visible impact of #drought stress on #wheat morphology at #PHENOMA UM6P - University Mohammed VI Polytechnic 🇲🇦. The difference is clear – #water makes all the difference! Amri Moez Kamal Hejjaoui salma Rouichi Youness en-nahli

We need varieties that can do both: tolerate stress and deliver high #nutritional value. That’s the future of crop improvement. Breeding for #Resilience means nothing if #quality is left behind. Eager to receive these seeds and uncover their nutritional potential. UM6P - University Mohammed VI Polytechnic

Glad to welcome colleagues from #AgBS Department to #PHENOMA Platform for an introductory session and a tour of its main components. It was an opportunity to share our priority research topics and the Science behind each part of this state-of-the-art plant phenotyping facility.

Appreciated the enriching exchange with Mr. Youssef El Bari, CEO and President of OCP Nutricrops @OCPGROUP, today at his office in Casablanca. I look forward to strengthening the partnership between IITA and OCP Nutricrops for sustainable soil health and resilient food

Honored to have received Dr. Simeon Ehui DG - IITA & CGIAR Regional Director for #Africa, @ the PHENO-MA Platform, alongside Mr. Moulay Lahcen ENNAHLI Senior Advisor to the CEO of OCP AFRICA, It was a great opportunity to showcase the various components of PHENO-MA.
