Our Collaborations
Biomedical Research Center
Granada – Spain
Our Agreement:
Identification, evaluation and validation of bioactive compounds naturally present in plants, which have application as nutraceuticals and ingredients for pharmacological formulations.
Biomedical Research Center (CIBM), from the University of Granada, was created with the objective of bringing together researchers, research programs, postgraduate education, financial resources and enough instrumental resources to seek the advancement of knowledge, development and innovation in Biomedicine and Biotechnology, through excellence in scientific research.
Institute of Conservation and Improvement of the Valencian Agrodiversity
Valencia – Spain
Our Agreement:
Issues related to polyploidy, mutagenesis and the development of new chimeras in the field of plant biology.
The institute of conservation and improvement of the Valencian agrodiversity (COMAV), of the polytechnic university of Valencia, It was created with the objective of collecting and conserving the genetic materials of horticultural species. Today is one of the most important germplasm collections in the world in vegetable crops. In addition, around this bank, research groups were developed aimed at plant genetic improvement and biotechnology, being one of the reference institutions in the training of professionals in the plant breeding sector.
Andalusian Institute for Agricultural, Fisheries, Food and Ecological Production Research and Training
Andalucía – Spain
Our Agreement:
We have two Research Agreements – (i) Mutagenesis for the generation of biodiversity and plant variability, and (ii) Obtaining New Varieties of Legumes – and a TechProject for the implementation of an information system for the management of its banks and collections of plant germplasm.
The Andalusian Institute for Agricultural, Fisheries, Food and Ecological Production Research and Training (IFAPA) bases its creation on the will to respond to the demands of the Andalusian agricultural, fisheries, aquaculture and food sectors. IFAPA aims to be an agile and effective instrument focused on promoting research, technological innovation and training in the field of agriculture, fisheries and food industries.
Andalusian Vegetable Germplasm Bank
Córdoba – Spain
Our Agreement:
We have three Research Agreements: (i) Reintroduction of the Argan crop in the Iberian Peninsula, (ii) Modeling of the Berberis crop in the Mediterranean area, and (iii) Introduction and Standardization of Quinoa Crops in Europe.
The Andalusian Vegetable Germplasm Bank (BGVA) is considered one of the most important in Spain and a benchmark in the international arena. Proof of this is the transfer of genetic material to more than 40 global institutions for the development of research projects (pharmacological and agronomic applications, phylogenetic studies, etc.) and for display in collections of living plants in botanical gardens. This center has been one of the precursors of the “Spanish Network of Germplasm Banks of Wild Plants and Native Fitorrecursos” “and has been part of the steering group of the European project “European Native Seed Conservation Network“ (Ensconet).
Spanish Biotechnology National Center
Madrid – Spain
Our Agreement:
Modelling and normalization of the cultivation of lemna and other aquatic plant species, to evaluate its performance as an alternative source for obtaining plant protein.
Biotechnology is the use of living things and their processes for the development of products of interest to human purposes. In the CNB, genetic, genomic, proteomic, cell and tissue cultures or bioinformatics engineering are used to make a biotechnology that allows to reveal the secrets of living beings and apply the results of their research in the development of new compounds and technology, safer and more effective to improve health, agriculture and the environment.
