"LS Plant Breeding Ltd, based near Cambridge, is a joint venture between Serasem of France and NPZ Lembke of Germany - two of Europe's leading plant breeders - each with a long and successful track record in breeding oilseed rape, pulses, cereals and forage crops both for Europe and the wider world.

"Our market leading varieties such as Fuego spring bean and Emerson, Cullin, Marcant and Palmedor oilseed rape have been marketed previously through UK agents."We are now establishing a firm presence in the UK market in our own right with two combining peas plus a spring bean on the 2010 PGRO Pulse Recommended Lists, and three candidate varieties in the 2010 HGCA Winter Oilseed Rape RL trials.

"We believe our varieties already on the Recommended Lists - and our candidate varieties - are good news for the UK as they show the results of our significant investment in breeding new, improved material for the UK grower."
