CHARACTERIZATION OF PRINCIPAL FLAVOR COMPONENTS IN THE CERASUS SUBGENUS MEMBERS OF THE PRUNUS GERMPLASM COLLECTION

Objective

Evaluation of sweet cherry flavor-related primary and secondary metabolites to reveal links between fruit flavor and quality. Metabolic profiles will be generated from available accessions in the Davis National Clonal Germplasm Repository to improve decision-making regarding parental choices and developing novel flavors in future cherry cultivars. All measurements will be provided to the Prunus curator for entry into the GRIN system.
