In the near future, NMR-generated profiles of plant metabolism will be used for selection processes in plant breeding. By this method, new competitive breeds of forage crops can be successfully positioned on the international market. The successful preliminary studies already performed are proof of the potential of this new approach.
“It is very impressive, how rapidly the team of LipoFIT can identify the different classes of substances and perform precise quantification. I am convinced that this technology will serve as an important alternative to ‘wet’ chemical analysis, chromatographic methods and NIRS in the field of plant component analysis” comments Dr. rer. hort. Fred Eickmeyer, head of the plant breeding department at Saatzucht Steinach GmbH, on behalf of the cooperation.
