Use of genetic diversity in germplasm
Development and adaptation of agricultural practices towards durable production with respect to climate change relies on the availability of a wide selection of (functional) genetic diversity for breeding purposes.
Therefore part of our research activities has been focused on development of tools for assessment of genetic diversity in germplasm.
