Quantitative genetics hopes to give players an advantage by recognizing patterns that can point to future success. In strawberry, a genetically complex and labor-intensive plant, this is particularly important. This episode, Joshua join me to discuss his work using quantitative genetics to help give strawberry breeders a hand. Tune in to learn: \u00b7        How some plants have \u201csticky cards\u201d in their genetics \u00b7        What challenges strawberry breeders face \u00b7        How many clones are really enough \u00b7        What lies on the horizon for strawberry breeding If you would like more information about this topic, this episode\u2019s paper is available here: https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/tpg2.20550 This paper is always freely available.
