Webinar: Automated Evaluation of Grape Breeding Progeny to Reduce the Phenotyping Bottleneck

April 19, 2018


While genetic information is becoming inexpensive, measuring attributes of interest such as disease resistance or cluster architecture has been a laborious, manual process. VitisGen researchers are developing methods of more rapidly and objectively screening mapping populations. Their goal - to streamline the process of associating plant traits with genetic markers.

Panelists from the VitisGen2 Breeding and Local Phenotyping Team:

• Lance Cadle-Davidson, VitisGen2 Project Co-Leader and USDA Research Plant Pathologist
• Matthew Clark, Assistant Professor at University of Minnesota
• Rachel Naegele, USDA Research Horticulturist
• Anna Underhill, MSc student at University of Minnesota
