Validation of Molecular Markers Associated with Perpetual Flowering (PF) and Soluble Solids Content (SSC) in Strawberry (Fragaria xananassa Duch. ex Rozier)

Creator:

Salinas, Natalia R.

Abstract:

Strawberry is economically the most important berry crop grown worldwide and breeders are continuously striving to develop improved cultivars. So far, marker assisted breeding (MAB) in strawberry has been limited to the private sector. However, loci controlling some traits of economic importance such as perpetual flowering (PF) and soluble solids...

Masters Thesis
Development and use of molecular tools in Fragaria

Creator:

Njuguna, Wambui

Abstract:

This dissertation describes the application and development of molecular tools that have great potential for use in studying variation in strawberry germplasm. The first study evaluated 91 microsatellite (simple sequence repeat, SSR) markers for transferability in 22 Fragaria species and their utility in fingerprinting octoploid strawberries. Out of the transferable...
