Better crop and tree breeding
Research for better potato, wheat and shorter breeding cycles in long-lived trees. These are projects the network supports during 2025.
Breeding research at SLU
SLU's research in breeding spans many areas such as the development of varieties, genetic resources, domestication, technology and studies of specific mechanisms.
About the Network
The SLU Breeding Network aims to strengthen and visualise current research in the field at SLU and to increase the interaction between research and education.
