Paul Mitchell, of the haskap Canada website, clarifies:

Here is a link to the University of Saskatchewan’s fruit science program: http://www.fruit.usask.ca/haskap.html.

It was both Dr. Bob Bors from the U of S and Maxine Thompson from the University of Oregon who made the breeding advancements that led to the interest in these curious plants.

There actually was virtual international conference late last fall. It was held solely for researchers. Most of the material attendees were from Eastern Europe and Russia. I know that Dr. Bors had some involvement but I have not seen anything published as of yet.

That’s why we love the internet.
