The objectives of the project implemented by the NOVA GRASS consortium are: creating an innovative variety of perennial ryegrass inhabited by symbiotic endophytic fungi of the genus Epichloë characterized by improved persistence and resistance to stress factors especially drought stress, development of an innovative technology for the production of varieties of grasses symbiotically improved with endophytes. Moreover, there will be developed and implemented a significantly improved, innovative marketing strategy for the promotion and dissemination of cultivation and commercialization of innovative varieties of perennial ryegrass The most important result of the operation will be the creation of a new breeding line of perennial ryegrass, which will be registered in close future. Another effect will be the development of an innovative technology that will be subject to the process of obtaining patent protection in the future.

The main benefits of the planned operation are the development of a product innovation - a new, symbiotically modified breeding line of perennial ryegrass, which will be used to register a new variety characterized primarily by higher resistance to drought and other factors of abiotic and biotic stress. Agricultural producers will be able to grow a variety with a higher utility value. On the other hand, the technological innovation including the process of infection of the plant by the endophyte will shorten the time of creating and implementing new varieties of symbiotically modified grasses to the market. Moreover, an innovative marketing strategy will allow for more effective promotion and dissemination of information about the cultivation of symbiotically modified grasses.
