Our plant breeders possess a wide range of knowledge and expertise in plant genetics, molecular biology, plant pathology, entomology, agronomy, and horticulture. We examine multiple thousands of individual genotypes each year in order to identify those with improved characteristics.
We have demonstrated our ability to develop and identify new superior cultivars in several crops. Plant Sciences has received numerous U.S. and international plant patents. Our licensed growers benefit from these unique proprietary cultivars, enabling them to develop an identity in the marketplace and a reputation for premium quality.
Strawberries/Raspberries
Plant Sciences has successfully bred and patented numerous new varieties of strawberries and raspberries with exceptional attributes, and the search continues for even better varieties. We employ a breeding staff with a wide range of experience in horticulture/agronomy and the knowledge to extract the most from a variety. Our patented varieties have been developed for improvement in such traits as yield, timing of production, flavor, firmness, color, ease of harvest, pest resistance, and shipping quality. As with all of our research and consulting work, our varieties are bred to help our clients get the most out of every acre.
Artichokes
In association with Cynthesis LLC, Plant Sciences has developed several high quality artichoke hybrids. These unique, uniform and productive hybrids are being grown commercially in California, and are also being tested and produced in Europe.
The hybrids have been developed with an emphasis on providing premium quality seed. Through comprehensive field-testing from specific regions, we provide the optimum artichoke hybrid for each specific area's needs. Specific planting recommendations are available to maximize the hybrid’s potential.
