ASHS 2024 Conference

After a brief introduction about BioChambers, Patrick Friesen (PhD) will talk about using growth chambers to effectively vernalize and cross perennial and biennial kales. The talk will focus on how to leverage the full environmental control growth chambers provide for successful synchronous flowering, sharing key details about growth temperatures, photoperiod, and light (quantity and quality) conditions used. This presentation is based on a successful crossing experiment, which is aimed toward breeding perennial kales that can successfully overwinter in southern Manitoba, Canada.
