BRESOV (Breeding for Resilient, Efficient and Sustainable Organic Vegetable production) is a project funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program. It started in May 2018 and involves 22 partners from the EU and beyond.
BRESOV Project deals with the urgent need to provide climate-resilient cultivars addressed to organic vegetable production systems. These new cultivars will benefit organic growers, and the organic seed industry, providing much needed security both under current and future scenarios of climate change. The overall aim of this project is to improve the competitiveness of three of the most economically important vegetable crop families (Brassicaceae, Fabaceae, Solanaceae species) when grown in an organic production system. This will be achieved by exploring the diversity of Brassica oleracea, Phaseolus vulgaris and Solanum lycopersicum with advanced novel genomic and phenomic approaches in the selection of new breeding material for organic breeding.
Within the project high quality genomic data obtained through high-throughput genotyping techniques of the association panels and mapping populations for the species of interest will be produced. This data, combined with phenotypic data, will be used to perform GWAS, linkage mapping and population genomics analyses to identify genes/QTLs involved in the control of important traits for organic farming.
This Zenodo community has been created to collect and share, through all the Partners involved in the BRESOV project, all genomic data that will be generated during BRESOV.

Organic production is an overall system of farm management and food production. It combines best environmental practices, high level of biodiversity and preservation of natural resources, minimizing the human impact on the environment while ensuring the application of high production standards in line with the demand of a growing number of consumers.

Organic food and farming have continued growing over the last years in Europe and it is still expected to become more relevant in the coming years. Currently, most of the varieties used in organic farming in Europe are not specifically developed for organic farming systems. The particularities of this farming production systems imply the selection of plant varieties focus on agronomic performance, genetic diversity, disease resistance, and adaptation to diverse local soil and climate conditions. Therefore, it is of crucial importance to develop organic plant material suitable for organic agriculture.

BRESOV (Breeding for Resilient, Efficient and Sustainable Organic Vegetable production) is a project which funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program. It started in May 2018 and involves 22 partners from the EU and beyond. It brings together professional expertise and stakeholders’ following the concept of a collaborative multi-actor approach perspective.

The overall aim of the project is to improve the competitiveness of three of the most economically important vegetable crop families (Brassicaceae, Fabaceae, Solanaceae) when grown in an organic production system; giving growers confidence that they will attain a sustainable yield. This will be achieved by exploring the diversity of brassicas, beans, and tomatoes with advanced genomic and phenotypic approaches.

BRESOV will exploit the genetic variation of these three crops for enhanced productivity thanks to new knowledge on genome diversity and function. Germplasm accessions, pre-breeding and breeding lines, and the new elite breeding materials obtained from gene banks and partners’ collections of the three species will be selected and cultivated in organic vegetable farming systems. These cultivars will be selected for efficiency when grown under environmental stresses and for resistance to pests and diseases. In addition, desirable product traits such as taste, visual appearance and post-harvest performance will be considered.

This Zenodo community has been developed to collect and share, through all the Partners involved in the BRESOV project all genomic data that will be generated during BRESOV.
