OSF - Development of Fruit Tree Varieties with Novel Traits of Commercial Value by Use of Gene Editing and Related Technologies
(OSF Inc.) The project is a collaborative project between the Okanagan Specialty Fruits Inc. [OSF], Canada and the foundation Edmund Mach. the project will have for objectives Project Objectives:
- Establish Protocols and processessprocesses leading to consistantconsistent regeneration of explants and/or plant tissues from single protoplast cells;
- Establish protocols and processes for reliable DNA-free transformation of single protoplstprotoplast cells by Gene Editing TechnolgiesTechnologies;
- Develop prototypes of fruit varieties (Apple, Cherry) with gene(s) of interest by following the protocols and processes established via objectives 1-2;
- Provide technical support for products developed via objective 3 leading to the commercialzation path for fruit varieties with novel traits.
