Genetic Evolution

A miracle weapon against new pathogens and the climate crisis. Could new breeding methods, known as New Breeding Techniques, or NBTs for short, revolutionize apple breeding?  

  • What opportunities and controversies do the new breeding methods entail? And what is currently being discussed in the EU Commission? The dossier by author Christian Heinrich in ipoma Issue 03 takes a comprehensive look at these questions. 
  • This topic will be explored in depth on the first day of the Interpoma Congress 2024. Learn how NBTs enable targeted and rapid changes in the apple genome. In addition to reading, you can watch the video below now!
