  2. COBRA ERA–NET CORE ORGANIC: CoordinatingOrganicplantBreedingActivitiesfordiversity ERA-NET -Networking the European Research Area Duration: 2013-2017

  3. COBRA Projectbrings together over 40 partner organizations from 18 European countries: UK, Turkey, Denmark, Italy, Austria, Norway, Luxemburg, Slovenia, Belgium, France, Germany, Sweden, theNetherlands, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Hungary, Switzerland

  4. COBRA Aims: COBRA aims to support and develop organic plant breeding and seed production in Europe with a focus on increasing the use and potential of plant material with High genetic Diversity (Hi-D), such as Composite Cross Populations (CCPs)

  5. COBRA Specific objectives: (1) To improve methods to ensure seed quality and health (developthetestingofgermination and diseases on NIRS eqipment); (2) to determine the potential to increase resilience, adaptability, and overall performance in organic systems by using crop diversity at various levels;

  6. COBRA Specific objectives: (3) to improve breeding efficiency and to develop novel breeding methods to enhance and maintain crop diversity (selectionforqualitybased on singleseeds; Marker Assistent Selectionetc).

  7. COBRA Specific objectives: (4) to identify and remove structural barriers to organic plant breeding and seed production (embeddingthe CCPs totheproductionchain; fundingoforganicbreedingthroughcooperationtotheproductionchain, regulatoryframeworkoforganicseedsystems) (5) to improve networking and dissemination in organic plant breeding.

  8. COBRA Cropsincluded: wheat barley pea fababean

  9. COBRA Roleof ECRI: triallingselectedentriesofspring and winterwheat and springbarleywithfocus on: a) diseaseresistance b) weedsuppressionability c) foodquality

  10. COBRA • Trials (ECRI): • Wheat:yield, quality, weedsuppressionability (earlyqrowthvigour, allelopathicability); CCPs and varietymixtures • Barley:diseaseresistance (loose smut, leafstripe), increasinggeneticdiversity (differentbarleytypes :2 ja 6-row, hulless, awnless, darkcoloured), yield, quality

  16. Healthyminorcereals (HMC) (EU 7. frameworkproject) Project Title: An integrated approach to diversify the genetic base, improve stress resistance, agronomic management and nutritional/processing quality of minor cereal crops for human nutrition in Europe

  17. Healthyminorcereals (HMC) (EU 7. framework) Duration: sept 2013–aug 2018 Participants: 16 partnersfrom 10 countries Austria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Poland, Switzerland, Turkey and United Kingdom

  18. Healthyminorcereals (HMC) General aim: to enhance the exploitation of five of the so-called 'minor cereal' species: oat rye spelt einkorn emmer

  19. Healthyminorcereals (HMC) • Researchtopics: • Breeding (foodquality, biotic (diseases) and abiotic (drought) stresses, yieldetc) • Agro- technology(fertilisation, varietymixtures, weedcontrol) • Improvingprocessingtechnologies, developmentnewproducts

  20. Healthyminorcereals (HMC) • Researchtopics: • Assessingnutritionalcontentofminorcereals • Enhancethe market prominenceforminorcereals

  21. Healthyminorcereals (HMC) • Roleof ECRI: • Breeding: multiplicatin and phenotypingwide range ofgenotypes, crossings • Bioticstresses: testingofdiseaseresistanceofrye and oatinfield and labconditions

  22. Healthyminorcereals (HMC) • Roleof ECRI: • Fertilisationtrial: • Crops:rye, oat (4 varietiespercrop) • Fertilisertypes: compost, farm manue, biogasdigestate, mineralfertiliser • Fertiliserrates: N0, N50, N100

  23. Healthyminorcereals (HMC) • Roleof ECRI: • Testing of varietymixtures • Farm trials (includingorganicfarms)
