Project

BREEDWHEAT project is a long-term public-private research initiative coordinated by Jacques Le Gouis (previously Catherine Feuillet) from INRA-GDEC. In total, 39 M€ is being invested over 9 years by 26 French partners, including 11 private companies, to develop and use efficient genome sequence-based tools and new methodologies for breeding wheat varieties with improved quality, sustainability, and productivity.

"Our goal is focused singularly on accelerating genetic gain to create new, high-yielding, wheat varieties that will meet current and future global challenges in wheat production" Catherine Feuillet.
