Legume Generation: Boosting innovation in breeding for the next generation of legume crops for Europe

豆类世代联盟将投资于创新，通过将育种者的创业重点与支持研究基地的广泛创造性相结合，促进欧洲的豆类育种。六个以物种为导向、以育种者为主导的创新社区将在一个跨学科的框架内将实际育种与研究基地联系起来。他们领导着创新工作，每个人都专注于单一物种或物种类型的育种：大豆(Glyine Max)；羽扇豆类(Lupinus Spp)；豌豆(Pisum Sativum)；小扁豆(Lens Culinaris)；菜豆(Phaseolus spp.)。白三叶和红三叶(白三叶和红三叶)。这些活动得到以下方面的支持：理想模式概念、有益性状、豆类物种和品种目录以及豆科植物世代知识中心收集的育种方法的跨项目情报收集；新资源(基因类型、方法和工具)的生产和验证；不同地区种质和新品种的筛选、示范和测试；支持我们创新社区的育种成果的培训；包容性植物育种的治理和财务模式以及商业计划。所有这一切都将得到财团内部和外部传播和通信的支持，包括将欧洲豆类中心扩展为分享知识的平台。我们目前开展了43个育种和预繁育项目。我们将通过引进资源，促进新种质的产生，创新到新育成的种质和品种在农场得到验证。育种者将利用这一结果来支持豆类产量的扩大。我们的创新社区将向所有相关参与者开放，并为向其他用户和感兴趣的利益攸关方传播成果提供直接途径。他们在项目生命周期之后的可持续性将得到商业计划的支持。

The Legume Generation consortium will invest in innovation that boosts the breeding of legumes in Europe by combining the entrepreneurial focus of breeders with the broad inventiveness of the supporting research base. Six species-oriented breeder-led innovation communities will link practical breeding with the research-base in a transdisciplinary framework. They lead the innovation work and each is focused on the breeding of a single species or species type: soya bean (Glycine max); lupins (Lupinus spp); pea (Pisum sativum); lentil (Lens culinaris); phaseolus bean (Phaseolus spp. e.g., ‘common’ bean); and white and red clover (Trifolium repens and T. pratense). These are supported by the cross-project collection of intelligence on ideotype concepts, beneficial traits, a catalogue of legume species and cultivars, and breeding methods assembled in the Legume Generation Knowledge Centre; the production and validation of novel resources (genotypes, methods, and tools); screening, demonstration and testing of germplasm and new cultivars in different regions; training to support breeding gains in our innovation communities; governance and financial models, and business plans for inclusive plant breeding. All this will be supported by consortium internal and external dissemination and communications, including the extension of the European Legume Hub as a platform for sharing of knowledge. We currently run 43 breeding and prebreeding programmes. We will give these a decisive boost through accessto resourcesthat acceleratesthe production of novel germplasm, innovating up to the point where newly bred germplasm and cultivars are proven on farm. Breeders will use the results to support expansion of legume production. Our innovation communities will be open to all relevant actors and provide a direct route for the dissemination of results to other users and interested stakeholders. Their sustainability beyond the life of the project will be supported by business plans.
