Centar izuzetnih vrednosti za inovacije u oplemenjivanju biljaka tolerantnih na promene klime

Abstract

Oplemenjivanje gajenih biljaka je kontinuirani proces usmeren ka povećanju prinosa i poboljšanju njihove otpornosti na biotičke i abiotičke stresove. U novije vreme, česte i često nepredvidive varijacije u klimatskim i tržišnim uslovima su dovele do toga da klasične metode oplemenjivanja ne mogu uvek da obezbede rešenja i blagovremeni odgovor na nove izazove u poljoprivrednoj proizvodnji. Imajući sve ovo u vidu, Institut za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo (IFVCNS) je osnovao Centar izvrsnosti za inovacije u oplemenjivanju biljaka tolerantnih na promene klime – Climate Crops sa ciljem uvođenja i primene novih tehnika oplemenjivanja (NBT), kao i efikasnih platformi za fenotipizaciju u oplemenjivačke programe ratarskih biljaka u IFVCNS. Očekuje se da će aktivnocti u okviru Climate Crops pozitivno uticati na izvrsnost i inovativne kapacitete IFVCNS u oblasti oplemenjivanja biljaka tolerantnih na ekstremne vremenske uslove koji se javljaju kao posledica promene klime.

Crop breeding is a continuous process aimed at increasing yields and improving crop resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Recently, frequent and often unpredictable variations in climatic and market conditions have led to the fact that classical breeding methods cannot always provide solutions and a timely response to new challenges in agricultural production. With all this in mind, the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops (IFVCNS) established the Centre of Excellence for Innovations in the Breeding of Climate-tolerant Plants - Climate Crops with the aim of introducing and applying new breeding techniques (NBT), along with efficient phenotyping platforms in crop breeding programs in IFVCNS. It is expected that the activities within Climate Crops will have a positive impact on the excellence and innovative capacities of IFVCNS in the field of breeding plants tolerant to the extreme weather conditions that occur as a result of climate change.
