Molecular Physiology and Genetics of Fruit Growth and Development (Workshop) *CEU Approved

Objective(s):
Advances have been made recently in our understanding of the molecular physiology and genetics of various aspects of fruit growth and development in tree fruits. One goal of this workshop is to summarize such advances in apple, peach and other tree fruits. Another goal is to further explore avenues for integrating molecular and genetic approaches to improve our understanding of fruit growth and to apply such knowledge for improving fruit production.
