Organisation Description - UK
Scottish Crop Research Institute |
The Scottish Crop Research Institute (SCRI) is a major international centre for research on agricultural, horticultural and industrial crops, and on the underlying processes common to all plants. It aims to increase knowledge of the basic biological sciences, to improve crop quality and utilisation by the application of conventional and molecular genetical techniques and novel agronomic practices, and to develop environmentally benign methods of protecting crops from depredation by pests, pathogens and weeds. A broad multidisciplinary approach to research is a special strength of the Institute, and the range of skills available from fundamental studies on genetics and physiology, through agronomy and pathology to glasshouse and field trials is unique within the UK research service.
