Breeding for Variety Mixtures: Estimating mixing abilities of different quinoa cultivars
"Current cultivars are optimized for monocultures, raising uncertainty about their suitability for variety mixtures. We are conducting research to explore the possibilities of developing new cultivars specifically tailored to vari ...

Determination of the optimal level of 2n pollen for interploidy crosses in potato
Introduction: Potato breeding can take place at the diploid and at the tetraploid level. One method to bring diploid germplasm to tetraploid offspring is via unreduced gametes. Unreduced gametes are the product of an altered meio ...

Development of a greenhouse pathogen assay for intercropping systems
Intercropping is an emerging alternative agricultural method, to increase sustainability, lower chemical inputs and increase yield stability. One of the main selling points of intercropping is the reduction of pathogen pressure th ...

Identification of recessive alleles of candidate genes in potato
This projects aims to identify allelic variants of important genes in potato genomes. At Plant Breeding we have collected DNA sequence information of a large number of potato varieties. Bioinformatic analysis can identify alleles ...

Selection of complementary late blight R gene pairs for cisgenic and organic farming in potato
Late blight, caused by Phytophthora infestans, is the most devastating disease for potato cultivation. Recent restrictions in the use of copper fertilisation as a crop protectant have urged organic farmers to seek their resort in ...

Identifying broad spectrum resistance from wild potato species to Fusarium dry rot disease
Potato dry rot disease is currently the most important cause of potato postharvest losses worldwide. Dry rot in potato is caused by the soil-borne fungi Fusarium species complex. In previous projects more than 300 wild Solanum gen ...

The potential of sugar beet agricultural side-streams: breeding for protein extractability
Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) is mostly cultivated for the production of sugar, that is extracted from thick roots. Increasing root yield and its sugar content have been major breeding targets in this crop. Aside from the main harv ...

Investigate the diversity of woodiness patterns in tomato stems
As an important horticultural crop, tomato has been subjected to intense study on its commercial traits. However, its potential as a valuable resource for biobased material is not fully explored. In this project, we will focus o ...

Studying the genomic basis of breeding traits in industrial crops
The development of a bio-based economy requires the availability of crops and varieties that can supply biomass and bio-molecules in sufficient amounts and quality for economically-viable bio-based value chains. Non-food crops tha ...
