Emmanuel A. Torres-Quezada, Lincoln Zotarelli, Vance M. Whitaker, andShinsuke Agehara
translated_by Ricardo Gandini-Taveras

Florida es el segundo productor de fresas más grade de los Estados Unidos, y la siembra inicia entre finales de septiembre y mediados de octubre, meses donde las altas temperaturas representan un reto significativo para la sobrevivencia de los trasplantes, y por tanto también para el rendimiento y la calidad de las fresas. Tradicionalmente, un alto volumen de agua es necesario para asegurar el establecimiento apropiado de las plantas de fresas. El propósito principal de esta publicación es proporcionar recomendaciones basadas en resultados científicos, a productores de fresas en la Florida sobre métodos de establecimientos de trasplantes.

The UF/IFAS Strawberry Clean Plant Program

Catalina Moyer, Natalia A. Peres, andVance M. Whitaker

Florida strawberry growers primarily utilize cultivars developed by the UF/IFAS Strawberry Breeding Program. These cultivars are bred to provide the yield and quality traits needed by the Florida industry. Yet if a new cultivar has the traits that Florida growers need but pathogen-tested planting stock is not available to growers, the cultivar’s impact will be limited. The Clean Plant Program generates the pathogen-tested planting stock that nurseries and growers require.

Improving Strawberry Varieties by Somaclonal Variation

Cheol-Min Yoo, Cheryl Dalid, Catalina Moyer, Vance M. Whitaker, andSeonghee Lee

Somaclonal variation is a breeding method utilizing natural genetic variation induced by a tissue culture process instead of by hybridization. This offers an alternative to mutation breeding for the introduction of new genetic variations in existing strawberry varieties. The main purpose of this new 5-page publication of the UF/IFAS Horticultural Sciences Department is to share the potential of this technique with plant breeders in the public and private industries. The secondary purpose is to educate the industry and the public on the scientific background of somaclonal variation. Written by Cheol-Min Yoo, Cheryl Dalid, Catalina Moyer, Vance Whitaker, and Seonghee Lee.
