RosBREED Mission Statement

We will develop and apply marker-assisted breeding, based on improved knowledge of industry value and consumer preferences, to accelerate and increase

the efficiency of rosaceous cultivar release and successful cultivar adoption.

• of industry values and consumer preferences to select target traits for Marker-Assisted Breeding (MAB)

• Impacts: increase new cultivar adoption enlarge market potential

RosBREED will develop tools

breeding in application

For those traits that have value for producers, market intermediaries and consumers

Marker-Assisted Breeding

Which parents to use?

Which combinations to create?

Which seedlings to progress?

Which selections to trial?

Which advanced selections to commercialize?

Increased breeding efficiency

RosBREED

Long-term outcomesFour year project outcomes

Increased gain in fruit quality per breeding

cycle due to improved parent selection and

improved mean progeny value

More rapid availability of new

cultivars with genetically superior

fruit quality

Improved profitability and sustainability of US rosaceous fruit, nut, and

floral crops with increased

consumption and enjoyment

Implementation of MAB by breeding

programs

Comparing the importance of fruit traits to different stakeholders:

preliminary socio-economics survey results

Analogy of Jewels in the Genome

Find

An individual’s genome is the full complement of genetic information that it inherited from its parents. Within this vast repertoire of genetic information, individuals genes are being discovered that control critical production and fruit quality traits.

Put into application in breeding

Jewels = valuable genetic discoveries that are put into breeding application

Polish

Examples of Jewels

RosBREED seeks to find, polish and put into application Marker-Assisted Breeding for valuable

Jewels in the Genome

Increase breeding efficiency and enhanced

acceptance of new cultivars desired by

industry and consumers

The Jewels are linked on chromosomes

56 chromosomes in strawberry!!

Strategic planning to maximize impact

We are midway through RosBREED...

What adjustments need to be made?

A possible second project?

Discussion session 1

1:00 1:30 Discussion session 1 Group 1 Industry opportunities, needs and limitations

1:00 1:30 Discussion session 1 Group 2 Breeding opportunities, needs and limitations

1:30 2:15 All DS1 - Groups 1 & 2 Reports & Discussion

1. As we are mid-way through RosBREED, how are we doing meeting the currently defined industry and breeding opportunities, needs, and limitations?

2. Are there unanticipated opportunities, needs and limitations that we should address within the current project?

3. Thinking ahead to a possible second project, are there opportunities, needs and limitations that need to be addressed?
