2013 WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRY COMMISSION RESEARCH PROPOSAL New Project Proposal Proposed Duration: 1 year Project Title: Support of USDA-SCRI Proposal “Connecting Raspberry Breeding Programs to Crop Markets through Use of Molecular, Economic and Consumer Science Tools”. PI: Catherine H. Daniels Co-PI: Patrick Moore Organization: WSU Organization: WSU Title: Ext Specialist Title: Research Scientist Phone:253-445-4511 Phone:253-445-4525 Email: cdaniels@wsu.edu Email: moorepp@wsu.edu Address: 2606 W Pioneer Address: 2606 W Pioneer City/State/Zip: Puyallup, WA 98371 City/State/Zip: Puyallup, WA 98371 Cooperators: (see Appendix A) Year Initiated 2013 Current Year 2013 Terminating Year 2014 Total Project Request: $1,000 Other funding sources: USDA-SCRI (to be requested in 2013); NABGRF (to be requested in 2012) Agency Name: Specialty Crop Research Initiative; North American Bramble Growers Research Foundation Amt. Requested: approximately $2.5M; $1,000 Description: Our objective is to obtain match funds for a USDA-SCRI research grant we are seeking in 2013; these grants require a 100% match. We are providing portions of the match; however, USDA views match provided directly by industry as an indicator that proposed work is necessary to support industry goals. Accordingly, we are requesting a small portion of the match from the WRRC, contingent upon USDA funding of our proposal. We expect to hear by July 2013 if we are successful. Only after that time would we need access to WRRC funds, if our request here is approved. The SCRI grant research objectives are (1) identify and test genetic markers specific to horticultural characteristics (e.g. heat tolerance) and pest resistance/tolerance (e.g. aphids, RBDV, nematodes, Phytophthora) in raspberry populations; (2) identify the drivers of liking for raspberry fruit among consumers; (3) identify taste characteristics sought by fruit processors (on behalf of end-use buyers); and (4) identify the price consumers and processors are willing to pay for raspberries having specific taste or health-giving attributes. Altogether, activities designed to meet these four objectives will address stumbling blocks to publically-funded breeding programs (whose goals are to release more cultivars) and to the US red raspberry industry (whose goals are expanded markets and increased grower profitability). 015
Justification and Background: In 2011, the USDA Specialty Crops Research Initiative funded us (SCRI grant #2011-51181- 30580) along with a number of other co-Project Directors, to develop a roadmap for US raspberry producers, describing how to forge links between new tools for breeding programs and crop markets. This grant was not a traditional research grant, it was planning grant whose purpose is to provide support to develop research grants in close cooperation with industry stakeholders. (If requested, we will be very happy to share the funded proposal with reviewers.) As part of this planning activity, we hosted two industry-oriented workshops, one at the January 2012 NARBA meeting, and one in Seattle in May 2012. Both were aimed at soliciting input from members of the national raspberry community, including public and private breeders, nursery operations, plant propagators, consultants, growers (fresh and processed fruits), processors, fruit marketers and leaders of commodity organizations. In addition to collecting information at these workshops we also reviewed research priorities from all industry-based raspberry research foundations, and solicited members of the national raspberry community to join advisory groups which continue to direct our grant work. We have two results from this work: a list of necessary research steps (aka the roadmap) to further raspberry industry goals, which we would be happy to share on request; and, a USDA- SCRI grant proposal which we intend to submit in January 2013. This SCRI traditional research proposal will address two needs brought up numerous times by stakeholders: the need for more cultivars that have specific traits of interest (for use in diverse areas around the US); and, research-based information about what drives “liking” for raspberry fruit among consumers. Although the research proposal will not address all of the needs voiced by the raspberry industry, it will address two key areas. The limitations on public breeders now are the lack of molecular tools which would help them cut down on field testing new cultivars, and a knowledge of which characteristics consumers want in their raspberry fruit. By picking a few traits to use as test cases in developing new molecular tools, a process can be established whereby more traits can follow. This will cut down on the 14-year average release time for new PNW cultivars. Similarly, by quantifying the fruit characteristics (what feature and how intense) that cause consumers to like or dislike raspberries, the breeders will be able to incorporate these measurements into their selection regime. We are proposing a fruit auction as part of an economic assessment to determine what price consumers are willing to pay for fruit with the attributes they most favor. Such information would be valuable to growers in regional markets who are facing decisions on replanting and fruit marketing. Relationship to WRRC Research Priority(s): This work addresses #1 priority: • Develop cultivars that are summer bearing, high yielding, winter hardy, machineharvestable, disease resistant, virus resistant and have superior processed fruit quality 016
