VeGIN - who are we?

Welcome to the Vegetable Genetic Improvement Network (VeGIN).

VeGIN combines the expertise of plant geneticists, breeders, physiologists, entomologists, pathologists, virologists and bioinformaticians. Using traditional breeding methods in unison with advanced modern breeding tools, our continued aim is to improve vegetable crops, specifically, Brassicas, lettuce, onion and carrot for a diverse range of traits of economic and social importance. The output from this work contributes towards meeting the challenges of future vegetable crop production.
