•Task 2.1: To survey the generic tools currently available for the selected non-food crops/species research, breeding production and processing•Task 2.2: To identify European Genetic Resource Centres •Task 2.3: To capitalize on biotechnology tools and exploit the knowledge of the post genomic era for possible future non-food crops improvement

Objectives: To identify current molecular genetic technologies (genomic and biotechnological tools) and suggest their potential applications in a crop-specific manner to address a wide range of breeding constraints
