    • Development and Evaluation of an AxiomTM 60K SNP Array for Almond (Prunus dulcis) 

      Duval, Henri; Coindre, Eva; Ramos-Onsins, Sebastian E.; Alexiou, Konstantinos; Rubio-Cabetas, Maria J.; Martínez-García, Pedro J.; Wirthensohn, Michelle; Dhingra, Amit; Samarina, Anna; Arús, Pere (Plants, 2023-01-05) Genòmica i Biotecnologia
      A high-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array is essential to enable faster progress in plant breeding for new cultivar development. In this regard, we have developed an Axiom 60K almond SNP ...
    • Genotyping by Sequencing in Almond: SNP Discovery, Linkage Mapping, and Marker Design 

      Goonetilleke, Shashi N.; March, Timothy J.; Wirthensohn, Michelle; Arús, Pere; Walker, Amanda R.; Mather, Diane E. (G3, 2017-11-15) Genòmica i Biotecnologia
      In crop plant genetics, linkage maps provide the basis for the mapping of loci that affect important traits and for the selection of markers to be applied in crop improvement. In outcrossing species ...
    • Pedigree analysis of 220 almond genotypes reveals two world mainstream breeding lines based on only three different cultivars 

      Pérez de los Cobos, Felipe; Martínez-García, Pedro J.; Romero, Agustí; Miarnau, Xavier; Eduardo, Iban; Howad, Werner; Mnejja, Mourad; Dicenta, Federico; Socias i Company, Rafel; Rubio-Cabetas, Maria J.; Gradziel, Thomas M.; Wirthensohn, Michelle; Duval, Henri; Holland, Doron; Arús, Pere; Vargas, Francisco J.; Batlle, Ignasi (Horticulture Research, 2021-01-01) Fructicultura
      Loss of genetic variability is an increasing challenge in tree breeding programs due to the repeated use of a reduced number of founder genotypes. However, in almond, little is known about the genetic ...
    • 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 ...
