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 ...

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 ...

Resistance by intervention: modification of tomato DNA Primase to stop virus
Viruses are emerging threats for crops. The best way to tackle this problem is providing the crops with resistance against viruses. This can be achieved by introgression of resistance genes. Virus-resistant cultivars can be obtain ...

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 ...
