Inheritance and QTL analysis of chilling and heat requirements for flowering in an interspecific almond x peach (Texas x Earlygold) F2 population
(Springer Verlag, 2020-03-04)
Blooming in temperate fruit species is triggered by chilling and heat requirements (CR and HR), with a wide range of requirements within the same species. CR for flower bud dormancy release has become ...
Selection of Pru p 3 hypoallergenic peach and nectarine varieties
(Allergy, 2019-11-11)
Peach is an important fruit consumed worldwide. However, it is also one of the most frequently reported allergenic fruits. Component diagnosis of peach allergy indicates Pru p 1, Pru p 2, Pru p 3, Pru ...
Exploring sources of resistance to brown rot in an interspecific almond × peach population
(Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2019-02-19)
BACKGROUND: Monilinia spp. are responsible for brown rot, one of the most significant stone fruit diseases. Planting resistant cultivars seems a promising alternative, although most commercial cultivars ...
Expression QTL (eQTLs) Analyses Reveal Candidate Genes Associated With Fruit Flesh Softening Rate in Peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch]
(Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019-12-03)
Significant differences in softening rate have been reported between melting flesh in peach and nectarine varieties. This trait seems to be controlled by several genes. We aimed to identify candidate ...
High-density genetic map and QTL analysis of soluble solid content, maturity date, and mealiness in peach using genotyping by sequencing
(Scientia Horticulturae, 2019-08-08)
Peach (Prunus persica) is one of the most important temperate fruit trees in the world, based on its production and cultivated area. Consumer acceptance is the principal objective of multiple breeding ...
Prunus genetics and applications after de novo genome sequencing: achievements and prospects
(Horticulture Research, 2019-04-05)
Prior to the availability of whole-genome sequences, our understanding of the structural and functional aspects of Prunus tree genomes was limited mostly to molecular genetic mapping of important traits ...
Biochemical and genetic implications of the slow ripening phenotype in peach fruit
(Scientia Horticulturae, 2019-09-14)
The peach [Prunus persica L. (Batsch)] slow ripening (SR) trait is a mutation preventing the normal fruit ripening process. It is determined by a single Mendelian gene (Sr/sr) located on linkage group ...
Transposons played a major role in the diversification between the closely related almond and peach genomes: Results from the almond genome sequence
(Plant Journal, 2019-09-16)
We sequenced the genome of the highly heterozygous almond Prunus dulcis cv. Texas combining short and long‐read sequencing. We obtained a genome assembly totaling 227.6 Mb of the estimated 238 Mb almond ...
The agriculture of the future: Science and technology for sustainable agricultural development
(Mètode Science Studies Journal, 2020)
Guaranteeing access to food for a growing human population – based on sustainability criteria and in the face of the climate change threat – is the main challenge for twenty-first-century agriculture. ...
Fine mapping and identification of candidate genes for the peach powdery mildew resistance gene Vr3
(Horticulture Research, 2020-11-01)
Powdery mildew is one of the major diseases of peach (Prunus persica), caused by the ascomycete Podosphaera pannosa. Currently, it is controlled through calendar-based fungicide treatments starting at ...
