Optimizing genomic selection in strawberry

If plant breeding were a poker game, you’d have to play a lot of hands to beat the house. Quantitative genetics hopes to give players an advantage by recognizing patterns that can point to future success. In strawberry, a genetically complex and labor-intensive plant, this is particularly important. In this episode of the Field, Lab, Earth podcast, Dr. Joshua Sleper discusses his work using quantitative genetics to help give strawberry breeders a hand.
