Additional sources of information on the BIOEXPLOIT integrated project:

• A paper that has appeared in the EUCARPIA bulletin outlining the project [PDF]

• A poster outlining the activities in BIOEXPLOIT is available [PDF Poster]

Technology Transfer Platform (TTP)

The Technology Transfer Platform of BIOEXPLOIT is a portal to detailed information on the technology and knowledge of marker assisted breeding and genetic engineering of disease resistance in potato and wheat. The TTP includes a 'whiteboard' through which the latest findings of the project are being disseminated. Furthermore, the TTP includes a discussion forum through which stakeholders can contact project participants directly to discuss issues relating to the objectives of the project. Membership is free, however, it requires registration to become member of the platform and to be able to participate in the forum. For registration fill the application form [FORM], and send it to info.bioexploit@wur.nl. Within two weeks of receiving the registration form login credentials will be send to the applicant by e-mail.
