New breeding technology for horticultural crop

26 Maggio 2021, ore 10.00
ZOOM

Seminario inserito nell'attività didattica dell'insegnamento “Miglioramento delle produzioni vegetali: Tecniche avanzate di miglioramento genetico delle piante”.

• New breeding technology for horticultural crop
  Dr. Mickael Malnoy, Head of the Genomic and Advanced Biotechnology Unit, Department of Biology and Genomic of Fruit Plants, Fondazione Edmund Mach (FEM), San Michele all’Adige (TN), Italy.

Abstract
New plant breeding techniques (NPBTs) aim to overcome traditional breeding limits for fruit tree species, in order to obtain new varieties with improved organoleptic traits and resistance to biotic and abiotic stress, and to maintain fruit quality achieved over centuries by (clonal) selection. Knowledge on the gene(s) controlling a specific trait is essential for the use of NPBTs, such as genome editing and cisgenesis. During this seminar we will present you some research done at the Fondazione Edmund Mach aimed at improving horticultural crop quality.
