1st September 2009
In this special issue of GCP News, we are delighted to announce the launch of a major new GCP research project – the Molecular Breeding Platform (MBP).
The MBP, a five-year, multi-partner project which has been several months in the making, aims to pull together existing, disparate molecular breeding efforts and provide tools and technical support to enhance plant breeding efficiency in the developing world and beyond. The project, headed by GCP’s Subprogramme 4 Leader Graham McLaren, will be a one-stop-shop for information, analytical tools and related services to design and efficiently conduct molecular-assisted breeding experiments.
News of this exciting new project has been disseminated widely via a press release today.
To view the press release and to learn more about both the MBP’s proposed activities and the pre-project preparations leading to the project launch, please visit the links below:
