GL-TTP (Grain Legumes Technology Transfer Platform) is a not-for-profit organisation that bridges the gap between research and industry to increase the production and quality of grain legumes worldwide. GL-TTP was initiated in 2005 by the EU Grain Legumes Integrated Project (GLIP) to ensure the exploitation of the project outputs by the grain legume industry.

Reflecting the needs of grain legume breeders, that successful workshop focused on the exploitation of genetic resources, and on the concrete use and integration of molecular technologies in breeding. The main themes addressed in this first workshop were genetic diversity, disease resistance, abiotic stress tolerance and seed quality.

GL-TTP works in collaboration with AEP, the European Association for Grain Legume Research. AEP is a European-based, internationally-active, network of scientists and end-users concerned with grain legumes. AEP aims both to strengthen inter-disciplinary research and to enhance the application of research into the integrated chain of grain legumes. Please visit the Grain Legumes Portal created by AEP.
