Strawberry

  

 

 
Research  Herbicide tolerance, resistance to fungi and insects, modified plant development
Field trials EU 7
in additional countries
Zulassungen none
Perspektive A commercial use of GM strawberries is not to be expected in the long run

 

Cultivation

The cultivated strawberry is derived from a cross between the aromatic American scarlet-strawberry and the large fruited Chile strawberries. It grows in regions with a temperate warm climate. Important cultivation countries are the USA, China, Japan and South Korea.

 

Utilization

The fruit is mostly consumed raw or processed into:

 

Gene technology: aims of research and development

Agronomic traits

Weed management

Disease resistance

Pest resistance

Plant development

  • Modified ethyl production and, therefore, maturation deferment

  • Modified blossom time

  • Modified rooting
