In cooperation with seed companies or service laboratories, easy to use DNA based assays are developed. Relevant tests can be developed for quality issues such as presence of pathogens, contamination (seeds or pollen), percentage of hybrid seeds, and somaclonal variation.
Its Value
Genetic seed and plant quality assays:
are practical and easy to use;
allow very fast and secure testing;
give higher accuracy and time saving on (phenotypic) quality tests;
allow multiplex testing of different traits;
are especially interesting to test high volumes at low running costs.
