| Name: | Action 851 Gametic Cells and Molecular Breeding for Crop Improvement |
| Coordinating organisation: | Lithuanian Institute of Horticulture |
| Description: | The main objective of this Action is to discover the biological controls of gametic embryogenesis and to exploit these in plant breeding. The biological controls and their interactions with culture conditions will be harnessed in improving the efficiency of doubled haploid production in a wider number of genotypes and species. Doubled haploids represent unique genetic stocks, which can be tested repeatedly and as such open up interesting areas of research. It is expected that doubled haploid production in Europe will increase in the next 5 years and this Action will be a major vehicle for progress. Large multinational biotechnology companies are making investments in this area; the Action provides a means for small and medium size companies and the public sector to maintain such an involvement. |
