The biological resources of grapevine and fruit cultivation registered in the national gene bank database exhibit outstanding diversity on a European scale. These biological resources, which form the basis of domestic grape and fruit production, require special attention.
The objective of this pilot program is to:
- Identify high-priority items within existing collections.
- Record and document them in an appropriate database.
- Conduct thorough examinations.
Perform virus and pathogen elimination where necessary.
The program is implemented with a total funding of 58 million HUF, in collaboration with the following institutions:
- The former National Agricultural Research and Innovation Center (NAIK)
- Fruit and Ornamental Plant Research Institute
- Viticulture and Oenology Research Institute (Kecskemét)
