Most active in this area
- FUNDACION GRUPO CAJAMAR
Almeria-based agricultural research foundation bridging tomato breeding, climate-resilient crops, and circular economy for agrifood waste.
“HARNESSTOM (2020–2024, EUR 200,000) specifically targets the screening and valorisation of tomato genetic resources for breeding lines tolerant to drought, salt, heat, and emerging diseases.”
PrimaryES2 projects - PHENOM NETWORKS LTD
Israeli agri-bioinformatics SME providing plant phenotyping platforms and genomics tools for Solanaceous crop breeding consortia.
“HARNESSTOM (2020–2024) focuses specifically on exploiting tomato genetic resources for climate-resilient prebreeding, including drought, salt and heat tolerance.”
PrimarySMEIL2 projects - GAUTIER SEMENCES SAS
French tomato seed company specializing in climate-resilient variety breeding and genetic resource-based prebreeding.
“HARNESSTOM (2020–2024) focuses directly on harnessing tomato genetic resources for prebreeding pipelines, a domain where commercial breeders like Gautier Semences bridge genebanks and the market.”
