Projecttitel: Durable virus resistance in tomato Projectnummer: LWV19106 Missie: Sleuteltechnologieën MMIP: ST2: Biotechnologie en veredeling Looptijd: 2019 – 2023 Projectleider: Yuling Bai
Breeding of new robust varieties with resistance to diseases remains a constant point of attention in circular agriculture where healthy plant materials (e.g. seeds) are the starting point for a good cultivation and harvest. The aim of this project is to obtain durable and broad spectrum resistance against newly emerging DNA and RNA viruses in tomato (with a great potential outreach to other crops).
