Plant biotechnology

We teach and perform strategic and applied research on horticultural and agricultural crops with the aim to provide knowledge, tools and products for a bio-based economy, improved environment and

Our PhD students have projects that facilitate domestication and breeding of crops for Nordic as well as tropical growth conditions. DNA-based methods are adapted for studies of genetic variation and

Crop production in agriculture and horticulture will continue to require maximal yields with appropriate product qualities in combination with decreased environmental impact and energy input. To meet
