- New USDA - National Plant Germplasm System Grant: Screening for Verticillium wilt resistance in wild diploid and octoploid strawberry germplasm
-
- Development of Strawberry Genes website
-
Work on this website began during the Spring semester of 2005. Some of the site's objectives are to:
- Provide lab personnel and collaborators access to protocols.
- List the lab's recent publications.
- Describe identified strawberry species.
- Show the importance of polyploidy in strawberry genetics.
This website was designed and constructed by Kevin deHaan.

- Davis lab in UNH Magazine
- The Great Strawberry Hunt is a Spring 2004 article about the
history of the cultivated strawberry and the role of polyploidy in strawberry genome evolution.
- Check out Insight for news from
COLSA
- The Fall 2000 issue contains
a short article on the release of the F. vesca linkage map.
- Germplasm collection in Hokkaido, Japan
- During the summer of 2004, Tom joined Dr. Kim Hummer, Director of the National Clonal Germplasm Repository
(NCGR) on a three week expedition to collect representatives of F. iinumae and F. yezoensis,
and many other fruit species from Hokkaido, Japan. Here is a picture of Tom, Kim, and Japanese colleagues.
