Northern highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum; hereafter “blueberry”) is an economically important crop with Michigan, Oregon, and Washington collectively producing 64% of all blueberries grown in the United States. Blueberry production relies on insect-mediated pollination in order to obtain profitable yields and growers primarily use rented honey bee (Apis mellifera) hives for pollination services. Blueberry flower […]

The Washington State University Apple Breeding Program is composed of three phases of selection. Phase 2 accessions consist of five replicate trees that are evaluated for several years at three geographically diverse sites in Washington. Each accession is harvested over three picks using subjective maturity assessments that include change in the background color and starch […]
Jeff Miller was raised on a research farm in southern Idaho. He earned a B.S. degree in Botany—Biotechnology from BYU in 1994 and M.S. (1996) and Ph.D. (1998) degrees in Plant Pathology at Washington State University working on potato late blight. Jeff worked for two years at the University of Minnesota and six years at […]

With a US$1.7B total economic impact in New York State alone, hard (fermented) cider has become an important value-added product in the alcohol beverage sector. My research program has conducted cost of production studies, characterized over 375 potential cider apple cultivars, and developed orchard management practices that leads to greater fruit and thus cider quality. For high-density […]

From observed values and forecast weather to long-term climatology and weather-driven models, AWN provides a wide range of resources for the people of Washington State. We'll discuss data acquisition and quality assurance; highlight recent tools that have been released; and future goals of the program."
Potato breeding in the Pacific Northwest has traditionally relied almost exclusively on brute force phenotypic selection to narrow the pool of candidates from tens of thousands of progeny to a handful of tetraploid clone releases over a 10 – 15 year period. Although this strategy has yielded fantastic new cultivars that exhibit superior yield, improved […]
