Leveraging genetic resources and genomic prediction to enhance flavonol content in cranberry fruit.

Abstract excerpt

American cranberry fruit (Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.) are rich in flavonols, a subgroup of flavonoids that contribute to human health and plant stress resilience. Despite their importance, the genetic diversity and potential for improvement of flavonols in cranberry remain underexplored. We analyzed phenotypic and genetic variation for eight flavonol compounds in a genetically diverse germplasm collection (n =...
