Biotechnology Research Roadmap - Science and Innovation

Plant improvement
Production of new
cultivars using
genetic manipulation
or marker assisted
selection.
Plant health and
protection
Plant improvement
specifically focussing
on protecting against
diseases, pests and
weeds.
Plant growth
Cell wall
biotechnologies
and molecular and
genetic means to
control plant growth.
Biopharming
Development of
transgenics for
the production of
biopharmaceuticals or
therapeutics.
Innovative foods
and human
nutrition
Applies biotechnology
to the production,
processing of food
products and
nutritionally-based
health solutions.
Food materials and
ingredients
General food
materials and
ingredients.
Food production
technologies
On-farm production
biotechnologies that
specifically relate to
the food value chain.
Functional foods and
nutriceuticals
New added value
products, processes
and services that
specifically offer diet
and health solutions.
Diagnostics,
biosensors and tests
Diagnostic tests and
biosensors involved
in food quality,
food safety and food
processing.
Food processing/preservation
technologies
Processing
technologies and
improving quality and
shelf life.
