Genetics and breeding
We advance sustainable bioeconomy by developing innovative breeding methods and strategies, and sustainable use and management of genetic resources. We focus on enhancing productivity, resilience, and biodiversity, while promoting environmental sustainability and addressing global challenges. Through the integration of cutting-edge genomic tools, traditional breeding methods, and interdisciplinary collaboration, we aim to optimize the use of genetic resources to ensure the long-term health and productivity of natural and agricultural systems.
Goals of the research area
- Genetic methods for sustainable and profitable primary production and circular bioeconomy
- Comprehensive exploitation of genetic variance for sustainable and profitable bioeconomy
- Sustainable use of genetic resources
