Environmental and Genetic Influences on cherry fruit size

Summary: Our overall goal was to understand the bases for achieving large fruit size in sweet cherry. Our experiments are designed to provide knowledge that will be used to design future management and genetic improvement strategies that would ultimately result in maximized fruit size in grower orchards. Our objectives were based upon the premise that fruit size is maximized using both optimal cultural practices (environment) and large-fruited varieties (genotype).
