About us

www.euroseeds.eu Euroseeds merges national seed associations as well as individual companies into one single EU wide umbrella organization representing the totality of the European seed industry active in research, breeding, production and marketing of seeds of agricultural, horticultural and ornamental plant species. It was founded in November 2000 and is located in Brussels, Belgium. “Plants from seed are the origin of all food, provide innovative and environmentally friendly industrial products and beautify our landscape.” Euroseeds’s mission is to work for a fair and proportionate regulation of the European seed industry, freedom of choice for customers in supplying seeds as a result of innovative, diverse technologies and production methods and for effective protection of intellectual property rights relating to plants and seed. In that sense, Euroseeds lobbies on all seed related issues and specifically on: - seed marketing, incl. GM and organic seed - Intellectual Property Rights (Plant Breeders Rights, Biotech Patents, etc.) - plant/seed health (phytosanitary rules; seed treatments) - biodiversity and access to genetic resources - land use and food production - competitiveness of the EU agri-food chain It also aims at solving collective problems of its membership like e.g. market access in third countries.

    #VisionärederPflanzenzüchtung (English version see below) Viacheslav Fabianovich Savitsky (1902–1965) und seine Frau Elena Ivanova Kharechko-Savitska (1901–1986) waren Genetiker und Pflanzenzüchter am heutigen Ukrainian Research Institute for Sugar Industry in Kiew. Viacheslav interessierte sich insbesondere für die Selektion einkeimiger (monogermer) Zuckerrübensorten. Bei Hybridisierungsversuchen zeigte sich, dass es sich bei der Einkeimigkeit um ein rezessiv vererbtes Merkmal handelte und monogerme Samen eine Reihe negativer Eigenschaften aufwiesen. Aufgrund der politischen Entwicklungen unter Stalin verließen die Savitskys die Sowjetunion noch während des Zweiten Weltkriegs. 1947 gelang es ihnen, in die USA zu immigrieren. Dort leisteten sie in der Folge erhebliche Beiträge zur Zuckerrübenforschung, zunächst in Salt Lake City, Utah, und ab 1961 in Salinas, Kalifornien. Nach Funden monogermer Samen auf Vermehrungsflächen in Oregon identifizierte Viacheslav eine Linie, SLC 101, als geeignet für weitere Untersuchungen. In deren Verlauf mussten die selbstbefruchtenden noch in selbst-sterile Samen überführt und eine Resistenz gegen die Kräuselschopfkrankheit verankert werden. Es ist maßgeblich der Arbeit der Savitskys zu verdanken, dass Zuckerrübenanbauer seit den 1960er Jahren genetisch monogermes, leistungsstarkes Zuckerrübensaatgut nutzen können. Viacheslav Fabianovich Savitsky (1902-1965) and his wife Elena Ivanova Kharechko-Savitska (1901-1986) were geneticists and plant breeders at what is now the Ukrainian Sugar Industry Research Institute in Kiev (Ukraine). Viacheslav was particularly interested in the selection of monogerm sugar beet varieties. Hybridisation experiments showed that monogermism is a recessively inherited trait and that monogerm seeds had some undesirable characteristics. Due to political developments under Stalin, the Savitskys left the Soviet Union during the Second World War. In 1947, they managed to emigrate to the USA, where they made significant contributions to sugar beet research, first in Salt Lake City, Utah, and from 1961 in Salinas, California. After finding monogerm seeds on propagation plots in Oregon, Viacheslav identified one line, SLC 101, as suitable for further research. In the course of this, the self-fertilising cultivars had to be converted into self-sterile cultivars. Moreover, resistance against the Beet Curly Top Virus (BCTV) had to be established. It is largely thanks to the work of the Savitskys that sugar beet growers have been able to use genetically monogerm, high-performance sugar beet seed since the 1960s.

    Rich history, vibrant culture, and the birthplace of flamenco - Spain is the next destination in our Crops and Cultures series! 💃 Spain's agricultural sector has a significant economic impact - outperforming major European economies (such as France and Germany) in GDP contribution. In 2023, Spanish agriculture had a record-breaking year. Olive oil and wine production soared, pushing the industry's value at ~$70 billion. 🫒 🍷 With two specialized production plants and a research center in Spain, we're developing solutions to advance sustainable agriculture in the country, so we can keep delivering high-quality seeds and innovative crop solutions across Europe.
