Berry Value: Adding value to berry genetic resources (BreedingValue)
Project
Project code: JKI-ZO-08-4231
Contract period: 01.01.2021
- 31.12.2024
Purpose of research: Inventory & Assessment
The main objective of BreedingValue is to provide knowledge and tools for berry breeding, to utilize strawberry, raspberry and blueberry GenRes and pre-breeding material for new breeding strategies. The expected achievements are directed to create new European berry cultivars with resilience to different and changing climatic conditions, as well as with adaptability to different cultivation systems. Equally important, the expectable achievements will target at producing consumer-desirable fresh-fruit cultivars of berries with high nutritional quality. With this aim the most interesting GenRes available in different EU public and private GenRes collections and breeding programs can be identified and used for the project. The BreedingValue platform will be developed and validated using strawberry, raspberry and blueberry, being the most important in EU berry industry, known by its high economic impact and potential.
