S1 Preharvest abiotic stress (heat/drought/salt/light intensity)

S2 Preharvest biotic stress (bacteria/aphid/virus)

S3 Improving structural and functional crop resilience (cell wall, VOC)

S4 Postharvest quality (nutrition/flavour/appearance/safety)

S5 Exploring genetic diversity – ways to improve elite cultivars
