Slide6

To create a discussion forum for EU and associated countries researchers involved in collection, characterization, valorization and breeding of vegetable genetic resources

To facilitate discussion, interaction, exchange of information and materials, and collaboration between researchers

To facilitate formation of consortia for submissions of EU and other international collaborative projects To participate in agenda setting of future EU research programs.

Objectives (general)

Slide7

To preserve and

valorize

local genetic resources / minor crops with regional

economic

importance

To collect and manage

phenotypic

data in different environments / Set up of a network of locations for trialsTo identify major traits to consider for breeding: pest resistance, quality, plant-microrganism interactions (+ & -), resilience for climate changesTo enhance development and implementation of enabling technologies and genetic materials in

pre-breeding and breeding of a wider range of crops (e.g.

haploid production protocols, embryo rescue, mapping populations, molecular markers, etc.)

Contribute to the discussion on the use of NPBT (New Plant Breeding Techniques) in vegetable breeding and their impact on S&M seed companies and vegetable growers.

Objectives (specific)

Slide8

Increase of environmental and economic sustainability of horticulture through genetic approaches

Characterization of local genetic resources (landraces) and wild relative accessions of vegetable crops of interest for main agronomic traits (quality, stress resistance, ...)

Development of accessible and informative catalogues of vegetable genetic resources characterized at the phenotypic and genotypic level

Identification, characterization and valorization of vegetable genetic resources to be (re)introduced in cultivation

Identification of specific targets to be improved aiming to different cultivation systems (Organic, Protected culture, etc.) / Breeding of new cultivars for such systems

Development of genetic tools (populations, markers,

in vitro

protocols) for local (minor) crops / genotypesTargeted genetic improvement of specific traits in local (minor) crops / genotypes Breeding of rootstocks for main european vegetable cropsDevelopment of participative breeding schemes with farmersDevelopment of novel breeding approaches..................................................

SIRA

7 IDENTIFICATION OF INNOVATION AND RESEARCH NEEDS TO ADDRESS THE GLOBAL CHALLENGES

7.1 PARTICULARITIES OF THE CHAIN

.......the needs for innovation and research have been identified and separated by different parts of the chain: Input Suppliers and Production, Handling and Storage, Distribution and Consumers.

Slide12

7.2 RESEARCH NEEDS FOR INPUT SUPPLIERS AND PRODUCTION

Issues to meet:

consumers demands for varied, high quality and nutritious fresh produce, with negligible amounts of plant protection products or contaminantscitizens’ increasing demands for food production with minimal negative environmental impacts. The latter must be done within an environmental framework of limited or reduced supplies of fundamental resources e.g. water, and societal pressure to reduce external inputs of nutrients and energy.........further sustainable intensification and advancement of modern fruit and vegetable production will come from sound science-based developments that specifically address environmental, social and economic (i.e. sustainability) issues of current production systems.

SIRA

Slide13

Figure 10 Research areas in fruit and vegetable sector are interconnected. Field production systems cover the largest areas and still are the basis of the sector. Greenhouse production systems, however, are expanding continuously and are technologically more developed. Sustainable intensification research is needed for both.

Slide14

SIRA

7.2.1 GENETIC RESOURCES AND THEIR UTILIZATION

Context issuesNarrow genetic base for the main fruit and vegetables varieties

underexploited genetic resources.

Climate changes

threat to the diversity of cultivated crops, contributing to genetic erosion

new pests and diseases

increased environmental constraints linked to water availability and quality, salinity and high temperaturesimpact of biotic and abiotic stresses on productivity and qualitybreeding of varieties with improved adaptability, resilience and tolerance/resistanceintroduction of new vegetable varieties or species, requiring the acquisition of new genomic information and the development of new breeding activities.Robotic automation to reduce costsvarieties with characteristics adapted to the automated chain should be developed Environmental sustainabilitydevelopment of cultivars capable of maintaining yield and quality standards in low input conditions and with reduced energy, allowing further expansion of cultivation areas.High diversification of markets and consumers’ needs

many quality targets have to be taken in account, prompting the development of varieties with highly specific characteristics.

Slide15

SIRA

(Some ) constraints for varietal innovation

the reproduction system

the scarce information on the genetic basis of important agronomic traits

the low efficiency of phenotypic selection

the long juvenile period and long growth cycle (especially in fruit crops).

Innovative breeding methodologies could speed-up the development process for releasing improved varieties

Research topics identified 1. New genetic resources for species with a narrow genetic base 2. New or traditional genetic resources for sub-optimal conditions 3. New genetic resources for specific needs of the value chain

4. New breeding techniques 5. New genomic information and tools

Slide18

Define/confirm WG topics to work on

Overview of techniques used by

Euvrin members for breeding of different species, related to pollination. Share protocols for evaluations of varieties, genetic materialCreate database of research people and expertise

Update/monitor calls and spread to WG members

Promote breeding activities and spread document showing importance of breeding with examples.

Organise workshop e.g. spring school instead of summer school. Next working group meeting. Could be in Italy. Half day meeting and half day working groups

Networking with farmers associations, scientific associations before lobbying for research calls. Interact with EPSO (joint meeting). European platform for breeding techniques (legislation, universities and private companies are using to create new breeding lines, paid participation)

Ask members which traits, breeding target are being bred for e.g. content, etc.Ask other working groups for key traits that need to be bred forEvaluation of varieties, phenotyping related to region. Organised by crop, species, subgroups?Breeding for minor crops or specific regions, do we have genetic basis, what is available
