David Byrne

Dr. Byrne's research includes stone fruit and rose breeding and genetics. The rose breeding research involves the development of blackspot resistant rose germplasm, development of efficient transformation systems, utilization of traits from diploid rose species by creating artificial amphidiploids, genetics of commercially important traits and marker loci in families derived from interspecific hybrids, and the use of genetic markers as an aid in the selection of commercially important traits and for the characterization and comparison of wild and cultivated rose germplasm.

Jacques Ferare

Jacques Ferare is the Director of Research and Rose Program Manager for Star Roses and Plants. During his tenure, working with breeders from all around the world, Star Roses has introduced numerous award winning varieties and the most successful rose series ever introduced in North America.
