Overview
The goal of the Plant Genomics and Breeding Institute (PGBI) at Seoul National University is to advance science and technology in plant genomics and breeding research, ultimately aiming to develop advanced molecular breeding technology in order to apply these technologies for the development of new varieties of field crops and horticultural crops with high yield, good food quality, and strong resistance to plant pathogens.
Learning outcomes
Technical aims for pursuing these goals are physical mapping, genome sequencing, and development of genomics-based moleular breeding from various important crops such as rice, pepper, soybean, and ginseng.
The development of useful genes and the utilization of these genes for molecular breeding will be achieved. Superior commercial varieties will also be developed using genomics and molecular markers. New theories and applications for plant biotechnology and breeding will continuously be developed.The institute will be open to other domestic and international research groups for close collaboration and communication.
