This is very timely. I just presented about this today PAG-International Plant & Animal Genome Conference great work by Camila Azevedo, Juliana Benevenuto and Felipe Ferrão with collaborators from Vicosa.

Our program released two new Cultivars with outstanding yield, fruit quality, postharvest, and disease resistance. Info for FL, now starting testing outside FL. Stable performance across years/locations, probably great for counter-season countries as well. floridablueberrygrowers.org/index.php?opti…
