Davis Researchers Have Helped Map The Strawberry Genome, Which Could Lead To Healthier, Tastier Berries
Having access to the genetic “roadmap” of the strawberry will help berry growers stave off diseases like Fusarium wilt, which can ravage strawberry fields, according to Steve Knapp, director of the Strawberry Breeding Program at UC Davis and part of the research team on the study.
