Radiation Breeding Research Center

Overview

Radiation breeding research building was constructed for activation of seed industrial using radiation breeding. This building included excellent facilities such as plant/microalgae/mushroom culture room, grass green house, seed storage building, phytotron, core-lab, gamma phytotron and breeding fields. This building focus on the development of plant germplasm containing valuable agronomic traits and functional crops by inducing radiation.
