contrast, planting on flat ground is thought to increase soil moisture and reduce soil temperature during the fruiting season, which is beneficial to root growth of southern highbush blueberry (hybrids of V. corymbosum L. and V. darrowi Camp.; Spiers
., 2003 ). By designing polymerase chain reaction primer pairs from the ends of available EST sequences to amplify as much of each gene as possible, we can detect length polymorphisms at a high enough frequency to be useful for mapping in our diploid V
, which is beneficial to root growth in southern highbush blueberry (complex hybrids based largely on V. corymbosum and V. darrowi Camp.) ( Spiers, 1995 ). Weed management is also critical for economic production in blueberry ( Pritts and Hancock, 1992
