Research Project:
"FASTRACK" - A REVOLUTIONARY APPROACH TO LONG-GENERATION CYCLE SPECIALTY CROP BREEDING
Location: Appalachian Fruit Research Laboratory: Innovative Fruit Production, Improvement and Protection
Project Number: 1931-21000-017-20
Project Type:
Reimbursable
Start Date: Sep 01, 2009
End Date: Aug 31, 2014
Objective:
To develop and test a fruit tree rapid-cycling breeding program and to develop novel plum breeding germplasm.
Approach:
Early flowering transgenes will be utilized to develop a rapid-cycling breeding system to dramatically shorten plum generation time. Using this approach, improved plum germplasm with Plum Pox Virus (PPV) resistance and high sugar control will be developed.
