Summary: The objectives for this project were: 1. Produce, through traditional breeding methods, promising selections and subsequently elite selections with outstanding eating quality and commercial potential. 2. Use extensive trait phenotyping in combination with genomic tools (phenotype/genotype associations) to develop DNA-informed seedling selection for key fruit and tree traits. 3. Use both objective (instrumental) and subjective (sensory) evaluation techniques to identify selections with outstanding eating quality.
