Principle and goals

Principle: 1-For a given species, some plants present 1 or several biological characters relevant for the selection. 2-Each character can be linked to a gene. 3-This gene is labelled by a specific molecular marker. So we can detect the presence or not of a character in all plants of

this species assisted by a marker, it is the MAB principle.


Main goals of the MAB: The MAB can be used to select hybrids carrying genes of interest

and to compile these genes to create a new genitor


transfer of genetic knowledge for fruit trees breeders


A list of fruit trees which have 1 or several genes linked to 1 or several biological characters of interest will be done by the researchers of Fruitbreedomics and previous projects.

So the MAB fruitbreedomics services allow to detect the genes inherited from these parent trees into hybrids.

• Definition of the project and specific objectives • Identification of expert if necessary (INRA researchers) • Design and evaluation of technical and human resources • Quotation • Realization of the project

Services adapted to the small and medium sized companies

Outsourcing of the R&D activities for small and medium companies and taking care to adapt our response to the resources of our client.
