The Goals of the Solution

• The Goals of the Solution:

  The aim of the project is to respond to new trends in the breeding of hybrid varieties of vegetables - carrot and red table beet:

  1. introduce modern biotechnological and genomic approaches for analysis and description of genetic resources, identification of donors of sterile cytoplasm and maintainers of sterility, 
  2. production of DH lines on the basis dihaploid in vitro technique and accelerate the creation of new elite breeding materials with specific quality parameters,
  3. development of tools for early and precise molecular detection of pathogens even in field conditions
• Keywords:

  carrot; red table beet; in vitro biotechnology; cytoplasmic sterility; plant breeding; doubled haploids; DNA markers; genomics and transkriptomics; genotypic selection; resistance and molecular pathogen detection
