Collaboration with the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture on comparative genetic and epigenetic analysis of plantains (AAB bananas)

Duration
02/2019 - 12/2023
Project number
LTT19
Principle investigator

The project will support collaboration of the Institute of Experimental Botany ASCR with the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) and strengthen the integration of the Czech Republic within the research program of this international nongovernmental organization. The joint research proposed will contribute to a complex analysis of genetic and epigenetic variability of plantains and to identify a set of SNP markers useful for their detailed characterization.
