Research Project:
FRUIT-ROT RESISTANCE IN CRANBERRY: BREEDING, GENETICS, AND AN EVALUATION OF ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH POLYPHENOLIC PROFILES
Location: Genetic Improvement of Fruits and Vegetables
Project Number: 1245-21220-189-04
Project Type:
Reimbursable
Start Date: Nov 01, 2008
End Date: Aug 31, 2012
Objective:
Develop molecular markers for fruit rot resistance in cranberry.
Approach:
We will use bioinformatics to screen available genomic sequences of Vaccinium spp. for SSRs and develop primers for amplification based on those sequences. We will assist in screening the primers for utility on a population of cranberry segregating for fruit rot resistance. The screening portion of this project will be shared with a Rutgers University post-doc that we will co-supervise. Specialty Crops Research Initiative.
