Demand for all-natural vanilla flavor is increasing, but its botanical source, Vanilla planifolia , faces critical challenges arising from a narrow germplasm base and supply limitations. Genomics tools are the key to overcoming these limitations by enabling advanced genetics and plant breeding for n...
