Genomics of fruit trees and grapevine

The Genomics of fruit trees and grapevine research group began its activities in 2002 supporting three main lines of action in plant breeding of woody species: i) selection of fruit varieties and rootstocks adapted to the conditions of the Mediterranean area; ii) development of multidisciplinary techniques for its application in marked-assisted breeding; and iii) conservation of genetic resources in fruit tree species and grapevine. The activities carried out in the last years focuses on the following objectives to strengthen the research line.
