Past projects and datasets

Allium

EU FAIR CT95-465 | Onion Quality

Tailoring the onion crop for the 21st century, the development of high quality fresh and processed onions. This project was centred on the evaluation of flavour and carbohydrates in onion using molecular genetics, biochemical analysis and marker assisted selection (project ended 28/02/2001).

CEC GENRES | Characterisation | 1996-2000

This was coordinated by the Warwick Genetic Resources Unit with eight partners in seven countries: Denmark, Germany, Greece, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden & UK. The project targeted the collection, conservation, characterisation, documentation and evaluation of five Allium crops (onion, shallot, garlic, leek & chive) and wild taxa in EU countries.

Brassicas

EU project AIR3 - CT920463 | Pest and disease resistance | 1993

This project aimed to support the development of pest and disease resistant crops by identifying useful genes in germplasm collections of Brassica oleracea. Accessions were evaluated for resistance to cabbage aphid (Brevicoryne brassicae), downy mildew (Peronospora parasitica) and white blister (Albugo candida).

CEC GENRES 109/112 | Characterisation & pest and disease resistance | 2000-2004

This project was coordinated by CGN with the GRU acting as sub co-ordinator for the Brassica rapa group. Matching funds were from the Defra GC0123 Brassica genetic resources project. Accessions were characterised for a minimum set of descriptors, as well as subsets of accessions being evaluated for resistance to pests diseases including clubroot (Plasmodiophora brassicae), white blister (Albugo candida) and flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala).

Carrots

CEC GENRES CT99-105 | Carrot characterisation | 2000-2004

This project targeted the collection, conservation, characterisation, documentation and evaluation of carrot and wild Daucus taxa in EU countries. The project developed an EU Carrot/Daucus Inventory. The GRU input to the project was on a shared cost basis matched specifically by Defra funds under the GC0122 carrot genetic resources project.
