The New Genomic Techniques (NGT) Research Centre at the University of Silesia in Katowice<\/span><\/span><\/strong> has launched an official collaboration with Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Agr\u00e1ria de Pesquisa Agropecu\u00e1ria (FAPA)<\/span><\/span>, a Brazilian research foundation specialising in agricultural innovation. Their joint efforts will focus on the application of new genomic techniques (NGT) in barley breeding. The choice of a South American partner was driven by the region\u2019s unique environmental conditions. Brazil, with its diverse climate zones, offers opportunities to test plants under a wide range of conditions – from high temperatures and drought to climates similar to those found in Central Europe. For researchers at the University of Silesia, this provides a natural laboratory where they can more rapidly assess how modified plant traits contribute to yield stability in the face of climate change.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Agr\u00e1ria de Pesquisa Agropecu\u00e1ria (FAPA)<\/span><\/span> is a research institution closely connected to agricultural practice, as it operates alongside Cooperativa Agr\u00e1ria Agroindustrial<\/span><\/span>, one of the largest agricultural organisations in Brazil. As a result, research on barley genetics has a direct impact on the needs of both the brewing and animal feed sectors. Another important factor is Brazil\u2019s transparent regulatory framework, which enables efficient research on plants developed using genome-editing methods.

The primary objective of the partnership is to develop modern breeding methods that will produce barley varieties with enhanced resistance to environmental stresses. The use of NGT tools makes it possible to introduce precise changes into a plant\u2019s genome without introducing foreign genetic material. For the NGT Research Centre, cooperation with FAPA represents an opportunity to accelerate the transfer of scientific results into practical agricultural applications, while also enabling research in an environment characterised by diverse climatic conditions and well-established legal frameworks for NGT research.
