The soil-borne pathogen that causes charcoal rot is one of the most destructive affecting the global strawberry industry. Breeding strawberries that are resistant to charcoal rot is a priority for researchers at the University of Florida. #HortScience doi.org/10.21273/HORTSCI1798…

You might recognize Chef Dan Barber from Netflix's Chef's Table or his 2010 @TEDTalks! This world-renowned chef recently visited @BBerryBreeding where our plant breeders showed him the diversity of flavors grown in Florida.

Once star cultivars 🌟 are identified, and there's a sufficient amount of tubers to support commercial growth, they're distributed 🚛 to Florida caladium growers. Caladium growers license 📝 these @UF-developed tubers from @FlaSeed. – at Gainesville, FL

We finally got to try the pineberries! The moment my 2-year-old saw me put them in the shopping cart, she said, mommy, the strawberries are not ripe, don’t eat them.😂 Then we ate them and they are absolutely DELICIOUS! @vance_whitaker

.@UF blueberry varieties helped birth an industry in the 70s, and now @freshfromFL blueberries are synonymous with the start of spring. Listen 👂 to @the_FBGA farmers explain how @BBerryBreeding is just as important to the industry today.
