Objectives
Breeding and utilisation of lucerne and pea for drought-prone Mediterranean regions, by developing: 1) lucerne varieties with tolerance to severe drought, salinity, heat and grazing; 2) drought-tolerant pea varieties for grain or forage production; 3) cost-efficient marker-assisted and ecologically-based breeding strategies, for lucerne and pea; 4) innovative lucerne-based and pea-based forage crops
