A novel introgression line collection to unravel the genetics of climacteric ripening and fruit quality in melon
(Nature Research, 2021-05-31)
Introgression lines are valuable germplasm for scientists and breeders, since they ease genetic studies such as QTL interactions and positional cloning as well as the introduction of favorable alleles ...
Discovery and annotation of novel microRNAs in the porcine genome by using a semi-supervised transductive learning approach
(Elsevier, 2019-12-06)
Despite the broad variety of available microRNA (miRNA) prediction tools, their application to the discovery and annotation of novel miRNA genes in domestic species is still limited. In this study we ...
A comprehensive genome variation map of melon identifies multiple domestication events and loci influencing agronomic traits
(Nature Research, 2019-11-01)
Melon is an economically important fruit crop that has been cultivated for thousands of years; however, the genetic basis and
history of its domestication still remain largely unknown. Here we report ...
Development and Genome-Wide Analysis of a Blast-Resistant japonica Rice Variety
(MDPI, 2023-10-11)
Rice is one of the most important crops in the world, and its production is severely affected by the rice blast disease caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae. Several major blast resistance genes and ...
Characterization of Japanese Plum (Prunus salicina) PsMYB10 Alleles Reveals Structural Variation and Polymorphisms Correlating With Fruit Skin Color
(Frontiers Media, 2021-06-08)
The red to blue hue of plant organs is caused due to anthocyanins, which are water-soluble flavonoid pigments. The accumulation of these pigments is regulated by a complex of R2R3-MYB transcription ...
Prunus genetics and applications after de novo genome sequencing: achievements and prospects
(Springer Nature, 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 ...
Identification of a new allele of the Dw gene causing brachytic dwarfing in peach
(BioMed Central, 2018-06-14)
Objective
Peach brachytic dwarfism determined by Dwarf gene (Dw) is an undesired trait segregating in some peach breeding programs. Recently, a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) mutation in the ...
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, ...
Editorial: Translational research for cucurbit molecular breeding: Traits, markers, and genes
(Frontiers Media, 2020-11-30)
Cucurbits (family Cucurbitaceae) are economically important vegetable crops. Major cucurbits growing globally include cucumber, melon, watermelon, and squash/pumpkin. Other cucurbits like bitter melon, ...
Detection of homozygous genotypes for a putatively lethal recessive mutation in the porcine argininosuccinate synthase 1 (ASS1) gene
(Wiley, 2019-11-15)
The sequencing of the pig genome revealed the existence of homozygous individuals for a nonsense mutation in the argininosuccinate synthase 1 (ASS1) gene (rs81212146, c.944T>A, L315X). Paradoxically, ...
