In addition to the classic fruit breeding programmes, such as apple, raspberry, strawberry and currant, the Lubera® breeding team is also starting to breed wild fruit species. On the one hand this is to improve the sometimes quite underdeveloped or unattractive plant or fruit characteristics, but also to combine usefulness with ornamental values. On the other hand, it is always a question of creating one's own variety base. In this podcast, Markus Kobelt, the breeding mastermind at Lubera®, takes questions from Frederik Vollert, the product developer at Lubera Edibles.
