The CIOPORA Breeding Academy is a new education program designed specifically for plant breeders and R&D departments of the commercial breeding companies. It provides advanced training in the latest breeding technologies, including New Breeding Techniques (NBT), and the related regulatory aspects.
Webinar 2:
The current knowledge on the genomics of rosaceous temperate fruits: pipfruit (apple and pear) and stone fruit (peach, cherry, almond and apricot) will be presented, with special emphasis on peach and other Prunus, including information on their variability and domestication process, and the genetics of the main valuable traits.
The impact of this information on traditional breeding is increasing and marker-assisted selection has become routine. Two new marker-based methods, adapted to clonally-reproducing species with long intergeneration periods will be discussed, one for mining and introgressing variability from exotic materials (marker-assisted introgression or MAI) and the other (resynthesis) to produce, with conventional approaches, lines that are similar to a top cultivar and integrate other valuable characters.
The Spanish experience on the use of new genomic tools for breeder’s rights protection and possible whole-genome approaches for EDV characterization and IP management will be proposed.
Dr. Pere Arús is agricultural engineer (Universitat de València, 1974) and PhD in Genetics (University of California, Davis, 1984). His areas of expertise include population genetics, crop evolution and plant breeding, and he has specialized in the use of molecular markers and other genomics tools in plant genetics and breeding. His current main interests are in four crops: peach, almond, strawberry and melon, where he works on the genetics and genomics of characters related with fruit quality and disease resistance, and in the development of marker-based breeding methods that allow to circumvent some of the limitations of breeding in clonally-reproduced tree crops. Dr. Arús is autor of more than 200 scientific publications and has had various management-related activities at IRTA: director of the Center of Cabrils (2007-2009) and Chief Scientist (2009-2015). He is one of the initiators of the Center for Research in Agricultural Genomics (CRAG) and was its deputy director (2003-2018).
