Thinking about a plant for Mom? UF/IFAS scientists breed top ornamentals

Thinking about a plant for Mom? UF/IFAS scientists breed top ornamentals Brad Buck © UF/IFAS Photographer, UF/IFAS File Photo Snapdragons are top 10 cutting and potted flowers. If you give mom a plant for Mother’s Day, you might appreciate the aroma and aesthetics of the flower you bought  and flora in general. You might even wonder how the plant got to the retailer or nursery in the first place. Many plants arrive at the store after much research. University of Florida scientists toil in labs and fields for years to breed top-notch ornamentals for Mothers’ Day or any occasion.

Building a Better Berry with Artificial Intelligence

Uf/IFAS Dr. Vance Whitaker in one of his strawberry fields at the UF/IFAS Gulf Coast Research and Education Center in Balm, Florida Volunteer tasting panels have long been relied upon to guide decisions on which strawberries taste and smell best, and therefore should be bred for Florida s $300 billion crop. Tasting panels and breeding for better taste have been around since agriculture began, and now a researchers at University of Florida are using a new approach to creating better berries. Artificial intelligence is now helping identify cultivars most likely to produce a berry consumers will love. Already having collected data from hundreds and hundreds of volunteer tasters, computers now help match the chemical component that creates aromas of sweetness and “strawberriness.”

UF scientists use AI technology to breed better-tasting strawberries

UF scientists use AI technology to breed better-tasting strawberries Consumer panels are the tried-and-true method for UF researchers to gauge whether new fruit varieties taste good enough to keep developing them for the market. But, in the evolving world of AI, a computer can now tell scientists what strawberries taste and smell like – and therefore, whether a variety is worth more genetic breeding efforts. After all, strawberries are a $300 million-a-year industry in Florida – and many consumers crave them. Vance Whitaker, a UF/IFAS associate professor of horticultural sciences, used an algorithm that gives him the ability to predict how a strawberry will taste, based on the chemical constitution of its fruit. The computer method also takes less time than volunteer test panels.
