Using Jewels in the Genome to support your breeding decisions
 

As “jewels in the genome” – locations of genes controlling critical production and fruit quality traits – are uncovered and polished, we will post their details here for you to evaluate and use for yourself.

In the pages and tables here you will find functional genotypes of cultivars. If any of these cultivars are potential or actual parents for your own breeding program, then here are their underlying genotypes for certain traits! Please use them to help guide your crossing decisions!

If you would like to know the functional genotype for other varieties not on these lists, such as your own advanced selections, below the tables you will find guides on how to obtain this DNA information so that it remains confidential to you.
