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 esteemed research institutes from the Czech Republic and abroad. The acquired knowledge helps us to bring you disease-resistant apple varieties with very good fruit and growing traits and high commercial potential.
In research, we join tradition and modern methods
In our research projects, we employ traditional breeding techniques and molecular and genetic methods. Support from the Czech grant agencies helps us considerably on our mission to refine and streamline the breeding process and develop apple selections for current needs.
