Advancing Non-Transgenic Trait Development in Specialty Crops
Time: 2:00 pm
day: Day One
Details:
- Overcoming the challenge of transforming plants without inserting transgenes to preserve existing commercial traits in vegetatively propagated crops
- Addressing the unique difficulties of working with orphan or underdeveloped crops like black raspberries, requiring complete sequencing and transformation technology development
- Leveraging insights from successful transformations in crops like blackberries to accelerate trait development in other crops, such as cherries
