VBR will pursue two core programs: the first program for supporting education for graduates and basic research for breeding, and the second one for developing cultivars. In the first program, tools to increase the efficiency of breeding process will be generated through researches on genomic analysis of major vegetable crops and on development of efficient disease screening methods. Future current breeders will be also trained in various workshops. In the second core program, experienced cultivars of pepper, watermelon, onion, and cabbage will be developed by the cooperative researches between Research Centre and seed company or individual breeders. Our primary characteristics is disease resistance, functionality, high-quality and male sterility. The breeding process includes collection of germplasm, genetic analysis, development of efficient breeding methods and introduction of characteristics by crossing.
The goal of the Research is into advance science and technology in plant genomics research, ultimately aiming to develop advanced molecular breeding technology in order to apply these technologies for the development of new varieties of field crops and horticultural crops with high yield, good food quality, and strong resistance to plant pathogens. This is into a research fields of fundamental plant genomics and breeding sciences to novel biotechnology.
Technical aims for pursuing these goals are physical mapping, genome sequencing, and development of genomics-based moleular breeding from various important crops such as rice, pepper, coffee seeds, and wheat. The development of useful genes and the utilization of these genes for molecular breeding will be achieved. Superior commercial varieties will also be developed using genomics and molecular markers. New theories and applications for plant biotechnology and breeding will continuously be developed.
