Detalle de: Breeding and developmental biology of subtropical fruit

Title Breeding and developmental biology of subtropical fruit
Description

The activity of the Group, focused in a sustainable utilization of genetic resources to optimize production in subtropical fruit tree crops both under the current environmental conditions as well as taking into account climate change predictions, is unique in CSIC. In order to carry out that main activity a detailed knowledge of plant material and cultural techniques is combined with the use of genomic approaches and microscopy along the following specific objectives:
1) Study, characterization, conservation and utilization of germplasm.
2) Implications of reproductive biology in fertilization and fruit set.
3) Development of new cultural techniques to improve productivity and quality.
4) Selection of plant material for its use in classical and biotechnological breeding programs.
