The Pulse Breeding group consists of four breeders with a focus on chickpea, dry bean, field pea and lentil. We have recently added faba bean research and breeding to our program.

Wild Species

Wild Species

The wild relatives of the crops we breed for offer a wealth of genetic diversity and disease resitance. As such, the Pulse Breeding group has committed many resources into overcomming the crossing barrier beyond primary gene pools and introgressing wild traits into many of our recent varieties.
