Diversity in Fragaria × ananassa Duchesne ex Rosier: Phenotypic characterization of a strawberry diversity collection
Overview
During 2019-2020, the National Clonal Germplasm Repository measured numerical traits describing 284 strawberry cultivars from the Corvallis genebank that were planted in a field in Corvallis, Oregon. The broader goal of this study was to obtain phenotypic data on these accessions that were being analyzed in ongoing molecular studies. The objectives were to obtain phenotypic descriptors for the accessions; obtain images of plants, flowers, and fruit of each accession; and load the phenotypic descriptors and image data to GRIN-Global.
