Syntenic relationships between cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) and melon (C. melo L.) chromosomes as revealed by comparative genetic mapping
(BMC, 2011-08-05)
Background: Cucumber, Cucumis sativus L. (2n = 2 × = 14) and melon, C. melo L. (2n = 2 × = 24) are two
important vegetable species in the genus Cucumis (family Cucurbitaceae). Both species have an Asian ...
Peach allergen Pru p 1 content is generally low in fruit but with large variation in different varieties
(Wiley Open Access, 2021-05-14)
Background: Pru p 1 is a major allergen in peach and nectarine, and the different content in varieties may affect the degree of allergic reactions. This study aimed to quantify Pru p 1 levels in ...
Resynthesis: Marker-Based Partial Reconstruction of Elite Genotypes in Clonally-Reproducing Plant Species
(Frontiers Media, 2020-08-07)
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 ...
Comparative QTL analysis in peach ‘Earlygold’ F2 and backcross progenies
(Elsevier, 2021-11-17)
Based on detailed maps, DNA sequences and phenotypic data, there is a great deal of information on the genetics and genomics of ‘Earlygold’, a historical peach cultivar from the US. The F2 between ‘Texas’ ...
Whole genome scanning of a Mediterranean basin hotspot collection provide new insights into olive tree biodiversity and biology
(Wiley, 2023-05-10)
Olive tree (Olea europaea L. subsp. europaea var. europaea) is one of the most important species of the Mediterranean region and one of the most ancient species domesticated. The availability of whole ...
An integrated approach for increasing breeding efficiency in apple and peach in Europe
(Springer Nature, 2018-03-01)
Despite the availability of whole genome sequences of apple and peach, there has been a considerable gap between genomics and breeding. To bridge the gap, the European Union funded the FruitBreedomics ...
Genome encode analyses reveal the basis of convergent evolution of fleshy fruit ripening
(Nature Research, 2018-09-24)
Fleshy fruits using ethylene to regulate ripening have developed multiple times in the history of angiosperms, presenting a clear case of convergent evolution whose molecular basis remains largely ...
Transposons played a major role in the diversification between the closely related almond and peach genomes: Results from the almond genome sequence
(Wiley, 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 ...
Impacts of Use and Abuse of Nature in Catalonia with Proposals for Sustainable Management
(MDPI, 2021-02-02)
This paper provides an overview of the last 40 years of use, and in many cases abuse, of the natural resources in Catalonia, a country that is representative of European countries in general, and ...
