Abstract

BreedingValue, H2020 project, is to provide the knowledge and tools to utilize strawberry, raspberry and blueberry
GenRes and pre-breeding material for the creation of new breeding possibilities. The achievements are directed to create
European cultivars with resilience to different and changing climatic conditions, as well as adaptability to different cultivation
systems. Equally important, achievements targeted at producing consumer-desirable fresh-fruit cultivars of berries with high
nutritional quality. IBE activity is focused on studies about EU consumers expectations and preferences.
