In addition, through field trials conducted with our partners in Senegal, we have highlighted the important role of certain root traits, such as the rapid growth of the primary root of millet at depth, in tolerance to water stress.<br \/>\nOur studies have also enabled us to propose agronomic solutions to increase millet and sorghum yields and water use efficiency, paving the way for new varietal selection strategies.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, our work focuses on the contribution of cuticular waxes to drought tolerance through the control of non-stomatal transpiration. To this end, we seek to characterize the diversity of the chemical composition of cuticular waxes at the intra- and inter-specific levels, study the relationships with water stress tolerance, and identify the molecular mechanisms involved.<\/p>\n \n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n          \n          \t          \n          <div id=\"\" class=\"uc_ac_box  \">\n          <div class=\"uc-heading uc_trigger\">\n\n            \n            <div class=\"ue_title\">How will plants respond to future climate scenarios?
