F1 hybrid varieties ensure high
uniformity of the product, give high yields due to heterosis, allow the rapid
combination of different traits, and provide a natural protection of breeders’
right. The production of hybrid varieties requires homozygous inbred parental
lines and reversible male sterility. The complete homozygosity of parental lines
ensures uniformity of the F1 hybrid crops, while male sterility facilitate the
large-scale hybrid seed production without emasculation. The aim of the
HybTech research is to use molecular approach to bring the reversible male
sterility and doubled haploid technology to practice in a wide range
of species.
This research is coordinated by Dr.
Chun-Ming Liu at the Plant Research
International, Netherlands.

| Newly released (Nov. 8, 2002) EU calls (draft) in Key
Action 5: Food Quality and Safety and Key
Action 6: Global Changes and Ecosystem |
| As decided in the Vienna, a workshop on "EMBRYOGENESIS
AND DEVELOPMENT REGULATION IN PLANTS" will be organized during the
second year meeting in Turino (Italy). Date: 6-7 March 2003; Location: Villa
Gualino, Torino (Italy). The Italian
Biotechnology Foundation has provided a strong support to this
initiative. A group of speaker have been selected. For detailed
information about the workshop, please click... |
| The http://www.hybtech.org/ is now
available. Please distribute this link to those who might be
interested. Of course only partners within the consortium and the EU
desk officer have the right to access the "partner
page". |
| The HybTech website is available through PRI sever for
trial. Please report to C.M. Liu if you encounter any problem.
The "web comments" and "discussion" is not working at
the moment. |
| P1 sent today 1 construct to P6 and 2 constructs to P2 and
P3. |
| The first-year progress report has been sent to
Brussels. One hard copy of the report has also been sent to all
partners. |
| The first version of the HybTech Website was sent to all
partners for evaluation (mainly the "public domain"). Any
comments should be back on June 28, 2002. |
| We applied the domain name of www.hybtech.org.
As soon as the information is agreed by partners, we will make it available. |
| For the dissemination of the HybTech research, a workshop
under the title of "Embryogenesis and developmental regulation in
plants" will be organized in Turin, Italy, together with the Italian
Biotechnology Foundation. Contact Dr. Chun-Ming Liu or Dr. Elisabetta Lupotto
[eurice.elu@spm.it] for detail
information. |
