Last week, Hazera R&D and Marketing representatives attended the 16th Solanaceae Conference (SOL 2019), held this year in Jerusalem. This year, Hazera and Limagrain were proud to be major sponsors of the conference. The conference brought together leading scientists, students and plant breeders in a pleasant atmosphere that was conducive to sharing knowledge, expertise and formulating a vision of international collaboration.
Central topics at SOL 2019 were advances in the breeding and physiology of Solanaceae crops, with a focus on health, nutrition and yield. The program also dealt with Solanaceae genomics, diversity, metabolism, adaptation and much more. Cutting edge tools for linking genomes and phenotypes were also presented, with the aim of developing a road map for the next International SOL project (SOLII).

These representatives included R&D experts: Shai Koussevitzky – Project Lead Pre-Breeding Tomato; Mariela Faure Mlynski – Project Lead Pre-Breeding Tomato; Liran Yadgary – Project Lead Tomato Genetics; Shai Nashilevitz – Tomato Breeder and Netta Doitch – Tomato Breeder.
