Modulating climacteric intensity in melon through QTL stacking
(Oxford University Press, 2022-06-03)
Fruit ripening is one of the main processes affecting fruit quality and shelf life. In melon there are both climacteric and non-climacteric genotypes, making it a suitable species to study fruit ripening. ...
Use of Bayes factors to evaluate the effects of host genetics, litter and cage on the rabbit cecal microbiota
(BMC, 2022-06-27)
Background
The rabbit cecum hosts and interacts with a complex microbial ecosystem that contributes to the variation of traits of economic interest. Although the influence of host genetics on microbial ...
Construction of a collection of introgression lines of “Texas” almond DNA fragments in the “Earlygold” peach genetic background
(Oxford University Press, 2022-03-23)
Peach [Prunus persica L. Batsch] is one of the major temperate fruit tree species, the commercial materials of which have a low level of genetic variability. Almond [P. dulcis (Mill) DA Webb], a close ...
An LTR retrotransposon in the promoter of a PsMYB10.2 gene associated with the regulation of fruit f lesh color in Japanese plum
(Oxford University Press, 2022-09-13)
Japanese plums exhibit wide diversity of fruit coloration. The red to black hues are caused by the accumulation of anthocyanins, while their absence results in yellow, orange or green fruits. In Prunus, ...
An efficient CRISPR-Cas9 enrichment sequencing strategy for characterizing complex and highly duplicated genomic regions. A case study in the Prunus salicina LG3-MYB10 genes cluster
(BMC, 2022-08-27)
Background: Genome complexity is largely linked to diversifcation and crop innovation. Examples of regions with duplicated genes with relevant roles in agricultural traits are found in many crops. In ...
Inheritance of esters and other volatile compounds responsible for the fruity aroma in strawberry
(Frontiers Media, 2022-08-12)
Cultivated strawberry, Fragaria × ananassa, has a complex aroma due to the presence of more than 350 volatile organic compounds (VOCs). However, a mixture of only 19 compounds, called Key Volatile ...
