EFFICIENCY IN PLANT BREEDING

 

SMARTtray is the first end-to-end system that makes plant breeding more efficient, safer and more cost-effective

 

About SMARTtray®

SMARTtray® is an innovative high-throughput method for the cultivation and tissue sampling of various plant species. It was developed by experienced plant breeders and scientists to meet the challenges of modern plant breeding. The ever-increasing number of plants that need to be sampled for DNA extraction and marker-assisted selection (MAS) has led to a bottleneck in the breeding process.
