| Abstract Detail
Conference Wide van Heusden, Adriaan W. [1], Loffler, Huub [1]. High Quality Solanaceous Vegetables by Exploration of Natural Biodiversity (INDOSOL). THERE is a long-term co-operation between The Netherlands and Indonesia in the field of agriculture. This cooperation was based on the notion that agriculture and agricultural research is of prime importance for the economic and social development of Indonesia. The cooperation led to research programs for training, extension, applied research, agri-business driven research and fundamental research and capacity building. The various programmes led to an extended network to the benefit of Dutch and Indonesian scientists, policy makers and companies. In 2006 a new program was granted by the Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences. It focuses on Solanaceae and is named INDOSOL. INDOSOL will be linked to other Solanaceae initiatives (like EUSOL) such that the Indonesian candidates can take part in the EUSOL meetings to get access to the state-of-the-art in their research field, to establish networks and to present their work. INDOSOL will consist of five different PhD projects. One project, the one dealing with the characterization and exploitation of biodiversity, will host two PhD-candidates. The other projects will employ one PhD-candidate. All PhD projects will be executed by an Indonesian PhD fellow. The projects 1. Quality attributes to pepper metabolites: a systems approach 2. Components of whitefly resistance in tomato and hot pepper 3. Candidate genes for thrips resistance in pepper (Capsicum spp.) 4. Analysis of stress resistance genes and mechanisms in tomato 5. Nutritional value and ‘attack’ resistance in wild Indonesian <em>Solanum</em> species
