Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Crop and food safety of many countries in arid and semi arid areas is threatened by climate change.A reduced productivity and decreasing crop quality are the most severe problems caused by increased drought and salinity.Therefore, it is important to find new crops which grow under severe climate conditions and which have a nutritional value equal or higher than cereals (Wheat, Barley, Corn, etc).
