Two Loci, RiAF3 and RiAF4, Contribute to the Annual-Fruiting Trait in Rubus
(Frontiers Media, 2019-10-25)
Most Rubus species have a biennial cycle of flowering and fruiting with an intervening period of winter dormancy, in common with many perennial fruit crops. Annual-fruiting (AF) varieties of raspberry ...
An improved melon reference genome with single-molecule sequencing uncovers a recent burst of transposable elements with potential impact on genes
(Frontiers Media, 2020-01-31)
The published melon (Cucumis melo L.) reference genome assembly (v3.6.1) has still 41.6 Mb (Megabases) of sequences unassigned to pseudo-chromosomes and about 57 Mb of gaps. Although different approaches ...
Genome and transcriptome analysis of the Mesoamerican common bean and the role of gene duplications in establishing tissue and temporal specialization of genes
(BMC, 2016-02-25)
Background: Legumes are the third largest family of angiosperms and the second most important crop class. Legume genomes have been shaped by extensive large-scale gene duplications, including an ...
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 ...
Copy Number Variation on ABCC2-DNMBP Loci Affects the Diversity and Composition of the Fecal Microbiota in Pigs
(American Society for Microbiology, 2023-05-31)
Genetic variation in the pig genome partially modulates the composition of porcine gut microbial communities. Previous studies have been focused on the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms ...
An improved assembly and annotation of the melon (Cucumis melo L.) reference genome
(Nature Research, 2018-05-24)
We report an improved assembly (v3.6.1) of the melon (Cucumis melo L.) genome and a new genome annotation (v4.0). The optical mapping approach allowed correcting the order and the orientation of 21 ...
Mapping Cucumber Vein Yellowing Virus Resistance in Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) by Using BSA-seq Analysis
(Frontiers Media, 2019-12-03)
Cucumber vein yellowing virus (CVYV) causes severe yield losses in cucurbit crops across Mediterranean countries. The control of this virus is based on cultural practices to prevent the presence of its ...
Shape, firmness and fruit quality QTLs shared in two non-related strawberry populations
(Elsevier, 2021-07-29)
The cultivated strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) is an octoploid species (2n = 8x = 56), appreciated widely for its fruit. There have been very few studies on fruit quality traits, which are known to be ...
Genomic analysis of fruit size and shape traits in apple: unveiling candidate genes through GWAS analysis
(Oxford University Press, 2023-12-19)
Genomic tools facilitate the efficient selection of improved genetic materials within a breeding program. Here, we focus on two apple fruit quality traits: shape and size. We utilized data from 11 fruit ...
