Development and Evaluation of an AxiomTM 60K SNP Array for Almond (Prunus dulcis)
(MDPI, 2023-01-05)
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 ...
Barberry plays an active role as an alternate host of Puccinia graminis in Spain
(Wiley, 2022-02-17)
Stem rust, caused by Puccinia graminis, is a destructive group of diseases. The pathogen uses Berberis species as alternate hosts to complete its life cycle. B. vulgaris and the endemic species B. ...
High-density mapping suggests cytoplasmic male sterility with two restorer genes in almond x peach progenies
(Oxford University Press, 2015-05-06)
Peach (Prunus persica) and almond (Prunus dulcis) are two sexually compatible species that produce fertile offspring. Almond, a highly
polymorphic species, is a potential source of new genes for peach ...
pSBVB: A versatile simulation tool to evaluate genomic selection in polyploid species
(Genetics Society of America, 2018-12-20)
Genomic Selection (GS) is the procedure whereby molecular information is used to predict complex phenotypes and it is standard in many animal and plant breeding schemes. However, only a small
number ...
Conservation of native wild ivory-white olives from the MEDES islands natural reserve to maintain virgin olive oil diversity
(MDPI, 2020-10-17)
Food diversity, and in particular genetic diversity, is being lost at an alarming rate. Protection
of natural areas is crucial to safeguard the world’s threatened species. The Medes Islands (MI), ...
Investigation of the transcriptomic and metabolic changes associated with superficial scald physiology impaired by lovastatin and 1-methylcyclopropene in pear fruit (cv. “Blanquilla”)
(Springer Nature, 2020-04-01)
To elucidate the physiology underlying the development of superficial scald in pears, susceptible “Blanquilla” fruit was treated with different compounds that either promoted (ethylene) or repressed ...
Whole genome comparisons of Fragaria, Prunus and Malus reveal different modes of evolution between Rosaceous subfamilies
(BMC, 2012-04-04)
Background: Rosaceae include numerous economically important and morphologically diverse species.
Comparative mapping between the member species in Rosaceae have indicated some level of synteny. ...
Comparison of Genomic Prediction Methods for Yellow, Stem, and Leaf Rust Resistance in Wheat Landraces from Afghanistan
(MDPI, 2021-03-16)
Wheat rust diseases, including yellow rust (Yr; also known as stripe rust) caused by Puccinia striiformis Westend. f. sp. tritici, leaf rust (Lr) caused by Puccinia triticina Eriks. and stem rust (Sr) ...
On the accuracy of factory-calibrated low-cost soil water content sensors
(MDPI, 2019-07-13)
Soil water content (SWC) monitoring is often used to optimize agricultural irrigation.
Commonly, capacitance sensors are used for this task. However, the factory calibrations have been
often criticized ...
Ppe.RPT/SSC‑1: from QTL mapping to a predictive KASP test for ripening time and soluble solids concentration in peach
(Nature Research, 2024-01-17)
Genomic regions associated with ripening time (RPT) and soluble solids concentration (SSC) were
mapped using a pedigreed population including multiple F1 and F2 families from the Clemson
University ...
