Proceedings of the COST SUSVAR/ECO-PB Workshop on organic plant breeding strategies and the use of molecular markers, 17-19 January 2005, Driebergen, The Netherlands

This workshop has been organised as an activity in the SUSVAR (COST 860) network in cooperation with the European Consortium for Organic Plant Breeding (ECO-PB), the Working Group 3 of COST 851. The aim of this workshop is to exchange results and facilitate the discussion on different views on breeding strategies for varieties better adapted to organic cereal production, with special focus on the question whether and how molecular markers can be of benefit for organic breeding programmes. The focus of this workshop is on cereals with a few examples from other crops.
