HARNESSTOM innovation

HARNESSTOM aims to demonstrate that increasing use of Genetic Resources is key for food safety and security and can lead to innovation and benefit all stakeholders. By capitalizing on the large effort done recently in several EU-funded projects to connect phenotypes/genotypes in a large number of accessions from different germplasm banks and academia, HARNESSTOM will first collect, centralize and normalize this wealth of information in a way that is easily searchable and displayed in a user-friendly manner adapted to different type of users

HARNESSTOM objectives

HARNESSTOM will develop four prebreeding programs addressing the major challenges of the field: 1) introducing resistances against major emerging diseases, 2) improving tomato tolerance to climate change, 3) improving quality 4) increasing resilience in traditional European tomato by participatory breeding.

HARNESSTOM partners

The HARNESSTOM partners can build on the scientific expertise of an outstanding consortium of complementary academic groups as well as agronomic knowledge and production experience provided by breeding companies and farmer associations located in the different participating countries. After the recent launch of the project on October 01, 2020, the partners of the consortium will come together to officially kick off the project’s activities.
