Objective:
This study employs genomics and phenomics tools to characterize subtropical horticulture and ornamental germplasm collections and demonstrate their value to stakeholders and growers in Southeast Asia and the nation. Using cutting-edge methodologies enables us to identify these collections' genetic and phenotypic traits, critical to effectively managing and conserving natural resources. Through this investigation, we seek to provide valuable insights to growers and stakeholders, enabling them to make informed decisions and optimize resource utilization in subtropical horticulture and ornamental germplasm cultivation.
Approach:
This study employs genomics and phenomics tools to characterize subtropical germplasm collections and demonstrate their value to stakeholders and growers in the United States. Using cutting-edge methodologies enables us to identify these collections' genetic and phenotypic traits, critical to effectively managing and conserving natural resources. Through this investigation, we seek to provide valuable insights to growers and stakeholders, enabling them to make informed decisions and optimize resource utilization in subtropical sugarcane, tropical fruit, and ornamental germplasm cultivation.
