Timiryazevka will create more than 60 predictive breeding technologies by 2030.

The first raspberry harvest in the innovative greenhouses of the Timiryazev Academy was collected as early as February, well ahead of the traditional season, but the academy views this result primarily as part of a broader work on breeding and agricultural technologies. By 2030, they intend to develop more than 60 technologies for predictive breeding and sets of DNA test systems, the academy's press service reported. "By 2030, we plan to develop more than 66 technologies for predictive breeding and sets of DNA test systems. We are working on the cold resistance of varieties, as well as on the safety and transportation characteristics of vegetables, fruits, and berries. This is an important step towards strengthening the country's food security and technological sovereignty of the agricultural complex," said Sergei Makarov, the academy's vice rector for science. This year, the academy opened the Timiryazev Genome Center, supported by the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia. It was ...
