Should epigenetic variation be considered in germplasm conservation?
The Centre for Genetic Resources, the Netherlands (CGN) maintains a collection of genetic resources of agricultural and horticultural crops, mainly in the form of seeds. This collection is used by the breeding sector to develop va ...

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 ...

Breeding for Intercropping: Estimating direct and indirect genetic effects of maize and faba bean cultivars
"Current cultivars are optimized for monocultures, raising uncertainty about their suitability for intercropping systems. We are conducting research to explore the possibilities of developing new cultivars specifically tailored to ...

Functional characterization of flavor-related genes in pea (Pisum sativum L.) using CRISPR/Cas9 and genetic transformation
In the protein transition era, pulses and in particular pea, are regaining interest for their high protein level and adaptation to the European climate. However, food application of pulse ingredients as meat and dairy replacers is ...

Breeding improved industrial hemp varieties to valorise hemp fibres for biobased materials
Hemp (Cannabis sativa) is a promising crop for the production of fibres which are increasingly desired by industry e.g. for plant-based building materials, composite materials and textiles. The leaves and seeds, currently side str ...

QTL mapping and genomic architecture of biomass-related traits in cardoon
Cardoon (Cynara cardunculus) is a perennial crop from the Asteraceae family that can grow in adverse environments and has both food and industrial applications. From an industrial point of view, cardoon biomass can be used in bior ...

GWAS Analysis in peanut
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have revealed numerous links between traits and chromosome positions of crops plants, making this method an effective means of genetic analysis of phenotypic traits in diversity panels. In pe ...

Distinguishing disomic and tetrasomic inheritance in peanut
Because peanut is an allotetraploid crop, it is usually considered as a diploid in genetic analysis because it follows fully disomic inheritance, meaning that chromosomes from the same subgenome pair and can recombine, whereas hom ...
