WG1: Genetics and Plant breeding

Working Group Leader: Isabelle Goldringer, INRA, Moulon, F

Plant breeding approaches making use of and increasing genetic diversity of the crops will be studied, focusing on plant material adapted specifically to low-input/organic agriculture. This group will also coordinate national initiatives to search for adapted germplasm, and will synthesize the basic knowledge available for the genetic control of traits of interest. Where national money is available, part of the material investigated in other groups may be described with respect to genetic markers. Material and results from different population breeding programmes in wheat, (UK, G, HU, F), will be integrated into the overall European approach on the use of genetic diversity. WG1 will ensure that principles and materials from WG2 to WG6 are integrated at appropriate levels of priority into different approaches for the use of genetic diversity.
