Basic and applied research go hand in hand at our station. We are curious about the genetic basis of disease resistance and methods of its identification in apple newselections and many other research topics. We also cooperate with renowned research institutes from the Czech Republic and abroad. The acquired knowledge helps us to bring you disease-resistant apple varieties with excellent fruit and growing traits and high commercial potential.
In research, we connect tradition and modernity
In our research projects, we employ traditional breeding techniques but also cutting-edge molecular and genetic methods. Support from the Czech grant agencies helps us considerably on our mission to refine and streamline the otherwise lengthy and demanding breeding process and - above all - to develop apples for contemporary needs.
Modern breeding using molecular-genetic methods to make selection and practical application of new apple tree varieties with high resistance to significant apple diseases faster and more effective
