Introduction from Dr Andrew Granger, GM Science Breeding & Genomics

"Breeding & Genomics has three science groups structured around a product development pipeline.  It spans a range of disciplines from very basic laboratory research to applied field trials.  Importantly, it includes the Institute’s research orchards and farms from Kerikeri in the North to Gore in the South.

"Outputs from the portfolio include new proprietary plant varieties, genes, scientific papers, knowledge and well trained people."
