Tasks

Project MenthaSens: Development of aromatic mints ( Mentha spp.) with improved sensory quality and higher yield stability. Breeding objectives: Improving sensory quality, Higher yield stability, A/biotic stress tolerance.

Research areas:

• Conventional Breeding Techniques: Evaluating germplasm through morphological traits, sensory analysis, and flow cytometry to select superior plant varieties.

• Modern Breeding Techniques: Utilizing omics platforms (genomics, metabolomics, lipidomics), high-throughput genotyping and phenotyping, and advanced bioinformatics tools to accelerate the breeding process and improve plant resilience and quality.
