INTRODUCTION

MEIOSIS, established in l989 in the name of NSA Plants, was the brainchild of major soft fruit and tree fruit propagators together with leading soft fruit marketing groups in the UK. Designed to work closely with fruit breeding programmes throughout the world, MEIOSIS task was then, and is now to introduce new cultivars to the Soft Fruit Industry. Through the strength of our portfolio, we are able to protect new material against unlicensed propagation, and provide growers with new and potentially improved varieties for early trials.

As a Company focussed on the commercial exploitation of new soft fruit cultivars, MEIOSIS undivided attention is given to ensuring the best efforts of the Breeders/Owners are made available to commerce, with the ensuing rewards success brings.

MEIOSIS manage the collection of industrial funding, helping to support the East Malling Strawberry Breeding Programme, and are responsible for developing and marketing some of the commercially viable selections. We have Variety Development Agreements in place with many overseas Soft fruit Breeding Programs, and provide a free service for the commercial introduction of new cultivars from those programs.
