Spotlight on molecular plant breeding
The Swiss Journal of Horticulture and Viticulture (SZOW) is featuring research projects of our group.
The external page SZOW is a journal aiming at conveying theoretical and applied research topics to farmers, extension specialists and to the general public. In this month’s number, two of our collaborative projects in apple breeding and genetic resources are presented with an article in German each.
The external page first article describes the ongoing activities for the application of genomic selection in swiss public and private apple breeding programs in collaboration with Agroscope and private breeding partners.
The external page second article depicts our project for the description of a large collection of old swiss apple varieties in collaboration with the Federal Office for Agriculture, Agroscope and private partners.
