Within the "Biology and plants amelioration" department, the VaDiPom team of IRHS in Angers is the only one involved in breeding programs and selection methods on pip fruits. That very activity carries apple tree, pear tree and pear rootstock.

The management of the fruit genetic resources aims to better preserve and to improve knowledge on the biological diversity. It is a major stake for the research, but also for the agriculture and the food supply in the future.
