Key contributions:Conducted comprehensive plant phenotyping for the quinoa crop, implementing an augmented design for a genome-wide association mapping panel project.Performed phenotyping for the characterization of quinoa based on morpho-physiological traits across a diverse set of over 190 genotypes.Recorded and analyzed observations contributing significantly to salinity tolerance experiments for quinoa, sorghum, and other crops at varying salinity levels (6 ds/m, 12 ds/m, 18 ds/m).Identified tolerant lines of quinoa and sorghum, aiding in the selection of genotypes with enhanced salinity resistance.Assisted in the identification of barley and wheat varieties stored under both long-term and short-term conditions at the ICBA seed bank through detailed germination experiments.
