We develop and apply breakthrough technology innovation for crop improvement, for and with partners.

Technology innovation for faster breeding: DNA & RNA markers, sequencing, and bioinformatics

Technology innovation for crops for better human health and increased food quality

Technology innovation for faster and better genome, transcriptome, proteome, metabolome and phenome insights

Technology innovation for the induction of new and desired genetic variation

New possibilities for crop improvement that start from individual plant cells and/or tissues.

Developing new directions and possibilities for crops having new and better biotic stress resistances

Better decision-making in breeding through omics & phenomics data, and new reproduction- and breeding techniques.
