Brief Summary of Minutes of Annual Meeting

Minutes of the NCCC212 Business meeting chaired by Chad Finn, Bernadine Strik and Bob Martin, Corvallis, OR, Tuesday, October 22, 2014 Old business Minutes of the previous meeting were provided (October 23, 2013, Beltsville, MD) Discussion: No changes suggested Move to approve: Mercy Olmstead Seconded: Chad Finn Vote = unanimous Discussion on how the new executive committee is being comprised. Suggestion: William Baird In the past there was a four-member Executive Committee: Past Chair (host from last year's meeting) Current Chair (current meeting site host) Vice Chair (next year's host) Secretary (host 2-years out) Post 2014 – 2015: Past-Chair (last year’s meeting Chair): Kim Lewers Chair (last year’s Reporting Secretary): Bernadine Strik, Chad Finn and Bob Martin Recording Secretary (next year’s convener/host): Elina Coneva TBD: Jayesh Samtani/Andrew Jamison Maybe at next year’s meeting we should determine which pattern we want to maintain into the future. The deadline for Annual Report submission is 60 days after the meeting. Send the state reports to Chad. Future meetings 2015 The 2015 meeting will be held in Auburn, Alabama. The meeting will be led by Elina Coneva at Auburn Univ. The group proposed the period of October 19 to October 21 as the most preferable meeting time and the best format would be to have a two days meeting with 1.5 days for state reports and business meeting, and half a day for a field trip and grower visit. Additional day for the Small Fruit Germplasm Crop Germplasm Committee meeting should be included. 2016 Jayesh Samtani, VA, and Andrew Jamison, NS volunteered to host the meeting. Jayesh Samtani will check with the authorities, but the airport is about a 20 minute drive from the potential meeting site and there is a blackberry production close by. Andrew Jamison suggested a meeting in NS in 2016 might be a possibility. Industry participation discussion: Bernadine Strik Industry representatives are welcome to the meeting provided they will share a report. This year meeting space was limited and industry representation was limited to delegates who shared a report. Sharing a report is our requirement from the industry. Move to adjourn the business meeting: Bernadine Strik Seconded: Elina Coneva Vote = unanimous

Objective 1 - Develop improved small fruit germplasm through cooperative breeding and evaluation programs. Blackberry and Raspberry: ORUS 3447-2, a sibling of ‘Columbia Star’, will be released and patented. This thornless genotype produces a very large fruited (12-13 g) berry that has excellent fruit quality. Finn The trailing blackberry selections ORUS 1793-1 and ORUS 1939-4, the east-west hybrids ORUS 2711-1 and ORUS 2816-4 and the ‘Tayberry’ type ORUS 4024-3 are slated for release. Finn Evaluating blackberry and raspberry cultivars for adaptability to Utah’s arid high-elevation climate and alkaline soils. Black Determining the performance of selected blackberry cultivars in central AL. Pitts, Coneva, Clark. Moving up the release potential ladder is APF-190T, a thornless, shipping-quality PF type. It has shown yield potential near that of Prime-Ark 45, and good postharvest handling as well as a good quality berry. Clark Osage was released as a thornless FF. A highlight of Osage is fruit flavor, usually one of the better-flavored selections in the program. Clark Results indicate influences on firmness include not only fruit skin but also apparently greater cell density on the firmer types. Much-reduced reddening or reversion of the super firm berries, a very positive finding. Clark A new threat to blackberries in Arkansas was tremendous damage from broad mites. Clark Vigorous plantings of spineless blackberry seedlings were established in 2013 and 2014. Selection will commence in 2015. These seedlings are 3 generations from Navaho, Apache, Chester or Loch Ness, and hardy spiny germplasm.

Lewers, Castro, Weebadde, Wang, Hancock, Bushakra, Finn, Luby, Stewart NCSU Strawberry Breeding Program: 18 advanced selections were trialed across NC. Fields suffered significant plant loss to anthracnose, however, 2 selections looked good. NCS 10-156 is an early genotype that has uniform fruit with excellent flavor, rich red color and consistently good yields; a potential Sweet Charlie replacement. NCS 10-038, potential Chandler replacement, with high yields, firmer fruit and its more uniform production across the season. NCS 10-156 going to on-farm trials this fall. NCSU Breeding for resistance to plant pathogens. Resistance to anthracnose foliar infections: Evaluated 18 genotypes for resistance to latent foliar infection by C. acutatum and C. gloeosporioides. Anthracnose crown rot resistance: Genotypes were also screened for resistance to crown rot by C. gloeosporioides. Little correlation was seen between foliar and crown resistance phenotypes, suggesting resistance to Colletotrichum species may be shared within common tissue types but inherited independently between tissue types. Seedlings from OP advanced selections were inoculated 5-6 x with C. acutatum and C. gloeosporioides under conducive disease conditions. 68 survivors showed no crown wilt and represent the top 1% resistant genotypes.

Dale, Hughes, Zandstra, Currie, Desjardins, The winter created a great test of the shift trellis and blackberry survival in the Midwest. Reports received in general appeared positive for Arkansas cultivars with winter lows of -15 to -17F on the trellis, lowered and covered, while temperatures below -20F resulted in major damage. Several reports indicated Triple Crown had more damage than Ouachita and Natchez, and overall Ouachita appeared to fare well in multiple locations.

Tzanetakis Virus detection and discovery pipeline Virfind (Virfind.org) has been completed, evaluated by multiple members of NCPN, and is currently being used by members of the group as well as researchers around the world. The Arkansas NCPN Center now provides NGS services for testing advanced selections for a fee. Tzanetakis Exclusion screens on sides and ends of a high tunnel kept the tunnel 10°F hotter than outside. Misting dropped temperatures inside by only 3°F and it jumped back up as soon as mister was turned off. There were nearly 0 SWD captured in baited traps inside the screened high tunnel with no larvae in ripe fruit compared to plantings outside. Johnson Organic high tunnel with strawberries had problems from crickets, black aphids and spider mites as well as mold and fungus. Fall-bearing blackberries in a high tunnel experienced aphids on terminals in July and stink bugs on fruit in September. Fall-bearing raspberries had a McDaniel spider mite outbreak by early July that reduced flowering and yields.
