This is a brief summary of some of the work published in 2015 by UK
Strawberry researchers and it is perhaps unsurprisingly dominated by
work undertaken at East Maling Research (http://goo.gl/wXhCWj).
Richard Harrison leads two studies that focus on different aspects of
the diseases that effect strawberry yield while Louisa Robinson-Boyer
heads an investigation into the role that arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
might play in enabling future growth of strawberries in drier condtions.
Elsewhere we introduce a study that the outlines the developement of a
commercial SNP-array that will hopefully aid marker-assisted breeding
and finally is a Spanish-led investigation into a class of enzymes that
contribute to fruit softening.
