Specific germplasm genetic introgressions: SyngentaRecent Research Landscape
Unpredictable phenotypic expression in cucurbit and solanaceous crops risks commercial yield loss. These innovations secure proprietary genetic sequences to ensure stable inheritance of desirable agronomic traits.
What technical problems is Syngenta addressing in Specific germplasm genetic introgressions?
Low seedless fruit yield
(4)evidences
Limited availability of stable tetraploid germplasm restricts the development of seedless triploid varieties. Improving parental lines overcomes reproductive bottlenecks and poor flowering synchronization.
Inadequate fruit tissue firmness
(4)evidences
Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. melonis race 1,2 causes significant crop loss and plant death in melon cultivation. Lack of visual maturity indicators leads to premature or late harvesting, resulting in poor fruit quality and shelf-life degradation.
Pathogen susceptibility and nutrient deficiency
(3)evidences
Narrow genetic bases in commercial pepper varieties limit yield stability and environmental resilience. Expanding the available gene pool through specific cultivar introgressions overcomes stagnation in crop performance.
Insufficient commercial germplasm diversity
(1)evidences
Genetic vulnerability and low heterotic performance in commercial cultivars. Establishing stable parental lines ensures consistent hybrid vigor and predictable agronomic traits.
