EU-SOL - High Quality Solanaceous Crops for Consumers, Processors and Producers by Exploration of Natural Biodiversity
Project
Project code: 16214
Contract period: 01.05.2006
- 30.04.2011
Budget: 18,700,000 Euro
Purpose of research: Basic research
The aim of the EU-SOL project is to develop high quality tomato and potato varieties with improved traits important for consumers, processors and producers. The project particularly focuses on mapping, isolating and characterizing genes underlying important traits such as healthiness, nutritional value, taste, flavor, fragrance, shelf-life, starch composition, yield and plant architecture.New alleles of key-genes for these traits will be extracted from the rich biodiversity present in the Solanaceae.
