    • A cryptic variation in a member of the Ovate Family Proteins is underlying the melon fruit shape QTL fsqs8.1 

      Martínez-Martínez, Cecilia; Gonzalo, Maria José; Sipowicz, Pablo; Campos, Manuel; Martínez-Fernández, Irene; Leida, Carmen; Zouine, Mohammed; Alexiou, Konstantinos G.; Garcia-Mas, Jordi; Gómez, María Dolores; Tornero, Pablo; Pérez-Amador, Miguel Ángel; Esteras, Cristina; Picó, Belén; Romero, Carlos; Monforte, Antonio J. (TAG Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2021-11-25) Genòmica i Biotecnologia
      Melon cultivars have a wide range of fruit morphologies. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) have been identifed underlying such diversity. This research focuses on the fruit shape QTL fsqs8.1, previously ...

    • A deletion affecting an LRR-RLK gene co-segregates with the fruit flat shape trait in peach 

      López-Girona, Elena; Zhang, Yu; Eduardo, Iban; Hernández Mora, José Ramón; Alexiou, Konstantinos G.; Arús, Pere; Aranzana, María José (Scientific Reports, 2017-07-27) Genòmica i Biotecnologia
      In peach, the fat phenotype is caused by a partially dominant allele in heterozygosis (Ss), fruits from homozygous trees (SS) abort a few weeks after fruit setting. Previous research has identifed a ...

    • An improved assembly and annotation of the melon (Cucumis melo L.) reference genome 

      Ruggieri, Valentino; Alexiou, Konstantinos G.; Morata, Jordi; Argyris, Jason; Pujol, Marta; Yano, Ryoichi; Nonaka, Satoko; Ezura, Hiroshi; Latrasse, David; Boualem, Adnane; Benhamed, Moussa; Bendahmane, Abdelhhafid; Aiese Cigliano, Riccardo; Sanseverino, Walter; Puigdomènech, Pere; Casacuberta, Josep M.; Garcia-Mas, Jordi (Scientific Reports, 2018-05-24) Genòmica i Biotecnologia
      We report an improved assembly (v3.6.1) of the melon (Cucumis melo L.) genome and a new genome annotation (v4.0). The optical mapping approach allowed correcting the order and the orientation of 21 ...

    • Genetic analysis of the wild strawberry (Fragaria vesca) volatile composition 

      Urrutia, María; Rambla, José L.; Alexiou, Konstantinos G.; Granell, Antonio; Monfort, Amparo (Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, 2017-10-25) Genòmica i Biotecnologia
      The volatile composition of wild strawberry (Fragaria vesca) fruit differs from that of the cultivated strawberry, having more intense and fruity aromas. Over the last few years, the diploid F. vesca ...

    • Mapping Cucumber Vein Yellowing Virus Resistance in Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) by Using BSA-seq Analysis 

      Pujol, Marta; Alexiou, Konstantinos G.; Fontaine, Anne-Sophie; Mayor, Patricia; Miras, Manuel; Jahrmann, Torben; Garcia-Mas, Jordi; Aranda, Miguel A. (Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019-12-03) Genòmica i Biotecnologia
      Cucumber vein yellowing virus (CVYV) causes severe yield losses in cucurbit crops across Mediterranean countries. The control of this virus is based on cultural practices to prevent the presence of its ...

    • Resynthesis: Marker-Based Partial Reconstruction of Elite Genotypes in Clonally-Reproducing Plant Species 

      Eduardo, Iban; Alegre, Simó; Alexiou, Konstantinos G.; Arús, Pere (Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020-08-07) Fructicultura; Genòmica i Biotecnologia
      We propose a method for marker-based selection of cultivars of clonally-reproducing plant species which keeps the basic genetic architecture of a top-performing cultivar (usually a partly heterozygous ...

    • The Evolutionary Consequences of Transposon-Related Pericentromer Expansion in Melon 

      Morata, Jordi; Tormo, Marc; Alexiou, Konstantinos G.; Vives, Cristina; Ramos-Onsins, Sebastián E.; Garcia-Mas, Jordi; Casacuberta, Josep M. (Genome Biology and Evolution, 2018-06-23) Genòmica i Biotecnologia
      Abstract Transposable elements (TEs) are a major driver of plant genome evolution. A part from being a rich source of new genes and regulatory sequences, TEs can also affect plant genome evolution ...

    • Transposons played a major role in the diversification between the closely related almond and peach genomes: Results from the almond genome sequence 

      Alioto, Tyler; Alexiou, Konstantinos G.; Bardil, Amélie; Barteri, Fabio; Castanera, Raúl; Cruz, Fernando; Dhingra, Amit; Duval, Henri; Fernández i Martí, Ángel; Frias, Leonor; Galán, Beatriz; Garcia, José L.; Howad, Werner; Gómez-Garrido, Jèssica; Gut, Marta; Julca, Irene; Morata, Jordi; Puigdomènech, Pere; Ribeca, Paolo; Rubio Cabetas, María José; Vlasova, Anna; Wirthensohn, Michelle; Garcia-Mas, Jordi; Gabaldón, Toni; Casacuberta, Josep M.; Arús, Pere (Plant Journal, 2019-09-16) Genòmica i Biotecnologia
      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 ...
