The Goals of the Solution

  • The Goals of the Solution:

    The aim of the project is the exchange of experiences in the field of breeding and research of rape genome / transcriptome, transfer of molecular marker technologies and identification of genes associated with target features, exchange of genetic resources of rape. Project objectives:

    • exchange of experience/staff in the field of rape genomics and the use of genomic approach in rape breeding
    • trechnology transfer - associative transcriptomics technology and identification of functional candidate genes based on RNA-seq and WGCNA analysis from a Czech partner (CZ-PRC) 
    • technology transfer from a Chinese partner in the field of rape breeding, MAS technology and genome editing (PRC-CZ)
    • analysis of Czech genetic resources of rapeseed, evaluation of allelic variability of genes associated with pod shatter resistance 
    • transfer of gene pyramiding technology using MAS approach and use of CRISPR / Cas9 for genome editing and improvement of resistance level 
    • joint development of a strategy for the development of rapeseed varieties suitable for mechanized harvesting and demonstrating a high resistance to pod shatter.
