GoodBerry Newsletter_Issue N˚ 3 Improving the stability of high-quality traits of berry in different environments and cultivation systems for the benefit of European farmers and consumers

The main objective of GoodBerry is to provide necessary knowledge and procedures to facilitate the development of highly productive and top quality berry fruits, even under multiple suboptimal growth conditions, at competitive costs. The use of novel approaches for genetic improvement of berries in different environments is absent in current breeding programs - caused by the genetic complexity of these species and the complex plant-environment interaction and particular management practices. Thus, GoodBerry applies new molecular tools and generations of newly characterized populations.
