PTDL focuses its research beyond the traditional concept of food crop breeding, concentrating on the discovery and utilization of valuable traits in various crops, including those in the rice and composite families. Our core objective is to identify traits that can respond to climate change, isolate them, and develop them into a usable form. To achieve this, we collaborate with various fields such as bioinformatics, genomics, agronomy, biochemistry, and genetic engineering. We are dedicated to securing high-value traits and providing the trait information that forms the basis for gene editing and transformation technologies. Our aim is to build a future-oriented breeding platform that goes beyond conventional cultivar development.
