Georgia Tech Team Helps Decode Newly Sequenced Strawberry Genome

December 25, 2010

An international research consortium has sequenced the genome of the woodland strawberry, according to a study published in the Dec. 26 advance online edition of the journal Nature Genetics. The development is expected to unlock possibilities for breeding tastier, hardier varieties of the berry and other crops in its family.
