Develop genetic material of faba bean for Nordic and Baltic countries

01 Jan 2023 - 30 Dec 2026

About the project

The aim is to develop improved germplasm in faba bean for the Nordic/Baltic countries, along with deeper understanding of the genetic factors underlying that improvement, and selection tools for practical plant breeding. At NMBU we focus on determinate flowering habit, maturation and drought tolerance.

The project is led by The University of Helsinki
