Breeding Accel was founded in 2014 , when KP Holland , Schoneveld Breeding , Sion Orchids and Interplant Roses joined forces in rescript to minimalize the “ Time to grocery ” for newfangled merchandise . This collaboration in inquiry and excogitation has proven fruitful by enabling all party involved to effectively use the collective cognition and inquiry facilities , which has in turn allowed for the efficient development of new molecular and cellular phone biological technique .
Recently , Fresh Forward Breeding has link up this partnership . Fresh Forward belongs to the top of northerly - European yield breeding , and mostly specializes in the breeding of hemangioma simplex and apple . Fresh Forward intensively cooperates with Wageningen University & Research ( WUR ) and constitutes a worthful summation to the Breeding Accel partnership , due to its research electrical capacity , all-encompassing knowledge of molecular breeding , and its close-fitting draw with WUR .
By joining Breeding Accel , Fresh Forward realise admittance to the noesis and facilities of the Breeding Accel better half concerning the cell biologic elements of breeding .
Molecular vs cell biologicalAccording to Peter van de Pol , spokesperson of Breeding Accel , Fresh Forward brings a new perspective on research and breeding , due to its specialism in dissimilar craw groups , and therefore bring worthful new insights to the Breeding Accel partners . " In the ornamental industry , breeding is still done traditionally . Crossing and extract is being done on the physical characteristic . In the yield and vegetable industry , one is more experient in breeding on molecular level . The breeding process of an orchard apple tree , for example , takes so to speak a life and on top of that , traditionally , they ante up more attending to all kind of sustainability characteristic like heat permissiveness and resistance against , for example , botrytis . Also ethylene resistance , for example . It is a problem that is being encountered in several cosmetic crop , but in the yield industriousness , they have already more techniques and experience with it . "
Therefore , the cooperation between these companies that seem to be quite different name a lot of good sense . " At Schoneveld , at our lab , we have developed several accelerated protocols that have proven to be effective for several of our partners in Breeding Accel and they could also implement them . KP Holland further developed phenotyping , selecting on the foundation of pictures and smart software . And this result in interesting insights for other party , in a non - competitive way . "
" For Fresh Forward Breeding is the cooperation with the WUR particularly interesting . At the University , they are conduct a lot of enquiry into what new techniques , like CRISPR - Cas , have to offer up . GM is not allow for yet in Europe , but when things change and for as far as possible , we would like to foreknow on the succeeding options . "
