Summary: Focusing on extended storage, our overall goal is to deliver routinely implementable methods to the Washington Apple Breeding Program (WABP) for revealing genetic potential for commercial performance. This project is to improve the WABP’s prospects for developing superior new cultivars that provide exceptional fruit quality like Honeycrisp but without the storage flaws of that cultivar.
