Genetics is the study of genes, heredity, and genetic variation in living organisms. Breeding is the reproduction that is producing of offspring, usually animals or plants: Breeding in the wild, the natural process of reproduction in the animal kingdom. Animal husbandry, through selected specimens such as dogs, horses, and rabbits. Plant breeding, through selected specimens such as trees.
We teach and perform strategic and applied research on horticultural and agricultural crops with the aim to provide knowledge, tools and products for a bio-based economy, improved environment and
Are you interested in how we can combine lakes and seas full of life, with a sustainable production of blue food? In this online course, you will meet Sweden's leading experts on sustainable
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the department of plant breeding, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. I am working on the genetics and genomics of cereal crops for disease resistance. I
Our PhD students have projects that facilitate domestication and breeding of crops for Nordic as well as tropical growth conditions. DNA-based methods are adapted for studies of genetic variation and
