The objective of the European GEN4OLIVE project is to characterize, conserve and exploit the genetic resources of the olive tree, bringing them closer to both breeders of new varieties and olive growers, for the improvement of the crop and food security.
The universities of Córdoba (coordinator), Jaén and Granada, Corporación Tecnológica de Andalucía (CTA) and the companies Galpagro, Cámbrico Biotech and Santa Cruz Ingeniería are the Andalusian entities participating in this project.
GEN4OLIVE has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement no. 101000427.
