    VeGIN - who are we?

    Welcome to the Vegetable Genetic Improvement Network (VeGIN).

    VeGIN combines the expertise of plant geneticists, breeders, physiologists, entomologists, pathologists, virologists and bioinformaticians. Using traditional breeding methods in unison with advanced modern breeding tools, together we aim to improve vegetable crops, specifically, Brassicas, lettuce, onion and carrot for a diverse range of traits of economic and social importance. The output from this work will contribute towards meeting the challenges of future vegetable crop production.

    Meet the team....
