IAEA/RER Coordination Meeting on Evaluation of Natural and Mutant Re-sources for Increased Phytonutrient Levels in Solanaceous Food Crops,RER/5/013, Vienna, Austria, 17-19 November 2010

摘要

The improvement of quality traits in food crops is one of the most important goals in plant breeding and is gaining more and more attention for nutritional, health and marketing purposes. In 2006. the IAHA approved the regional technical cooperation project RHR/5/013 on Evaluation of Natural and Mutant Genetic Diversity in Cereals Using Nuclear and Molecular Techniques, which aims at evaluating and increasing genetic diversity in major cereals using nuclear techniques, molecular genetics and bio-technological tools.
