Biography
I am interested in investigating the inheritance of flavor compounds in a cold-hardy hybrid grape population. The mapping population that I am using appears to have neutral, concord, and hybrid flavor profile. To confirm this assumption, I am using sensory panels and gas chromatography analysis to characterize the flavor profile in each genotype tested. In addition to my thesis project, I am investigating different culture media and berries sampling time to improve the embryo rescue technique, which should enable the development of more cold-hardy seedless table grapes. Through my research, I hope to add value to the University of Minnesota Breeding program as well as the local grape industry.
