We regularly try about raw breeding techniques and about the large accelerations that are going to be made . For most of us an unfamiliar topic , but also an exciting demand on our industry . Will I be leave behind behind , will my neighbour soon have form that outshine mine ? Reason for Flower Science to plunge into the subject with all involved and interested parties from the medulla oblongata worldly concern . Bas Reichert
It ’s concentrated to find a location more suited than BaseClear . BaseClear is the company of Bas Reichert and claims , in his words , to be the largest independent genetic inquiry laboratory in the Netherlands . Already 25 age ago Bas had the article of faith that if all of the properties of an organism are stored in the genome , then that must also be decipherable . The nice matter is that this prediction has indeed number dead on target . Today he and his colleague are in the first place occupied with the economic consumption of the latest technologies to witness answers to specialist , various but also practical questions from all variety of sector , where noesis of this inherited computer code is required . Bas : " Plant training in farming crop is one of those sectors , in which DNA engineering have already caused major change . That is also go to happen in floriculture . “Tulip genomeThe most appealing example to substantiate this claim , even before one eff something about applied science and genetics , is the project in which the tulip genome is mapped out . This project , which was persuade out by a pool of company and inquiry institutes , is prestigious , especially because the tulip genome is extremely complicated . It contain , it was explained , more than ten sentence as many edifice blocks as the human genome , and if they need to map these with be technique , then , with the modified technology and computer science power , it would take incessantly . " In fact , we needed two things , " said Ron Dirks , director of partner company Future Genomics Technologies : " A gimmick that can take long sequences and the software that can equate the different building block with each other . These we have now , and that offers many interesting perspectives . “Ron Dirks
Plant substancesA second theme with the same perspectives is in the so - called works content substances . This is also regularly talk about , but the subject is surround by secret . This is partly due to the fact that there are many K of substances that have been probe only for a very limited part . At the same time , the pith that are recognize , are used in many sectors and for various purpose , which means that there are also many possibility on the production side . " That make the Netherlands as a horticultural body politic interesting again for research worker and producer of all sorts , because the supplying chain is safeguard here " , professor Peter Klinkhamer of the IBL ( Institute of Biology ) in Leiden concluded his story .

SpadixIf you , as a breeder or otherwise take in medulla , reduce flower or potted plant cultivation , have a question , then you should get hold of the bioscience common . The establish inquiry facilities of Leiden University have in recent years attract numerous company , where inquiry , technology and Commerce Department sleep together how to situate each other better . Another expert example of this is the novel company Spadix , also a sort of spin - off from BaseClear , which manager Leon Mur finally was allowed to promote . " Spadix aims to use the latest deoxyribonucleic acid analysis engineering specifically for parties in flower gardening . These proficiency have tighten the difference between genotype and phenotype , or in other words , the difference between the familial codification and the whole of physical properties . As it were , one can outsource familial issues to us and make economic consumption of our noesis , equipment and specialist knowledge . “Leon Mur
