The SolCAP project links together people from public institutions, private institutions and industries who are dedicated to the improvement of the Solanaceae crops: potato and tomato. Through innovative research, education and training the SolCAP project will focus on translating genomic advances to US tomato and potato breeding programs. This will lead to significantly improved varieties that benefit the processors, the consumer and the environment.
