P-32

There is very little activity underway to improve the genetics of herbs, spices and other nutraceutical crops. Much of the industry relies on "wild" plants, therefore, the potential for variability in performance and active ingredients is high. This presents significant challenges for the industry, which is striving to achieve market credibility and meet current regulatory standards. Uniform varieties would also be beneficial for use in clinical trials. The industry requires plants that will perform consistently under various environmental conditions and will produce a consistent quality ...
