The apple REFPOP—a reference population for genomics-assisted breeding in apple
(Springer Nature, 2020-11-01)
Breeding of apple is a long-term and costly process due to the time and space requirements for screening selection candidates. Genomics-assisted breeding utilizes genomic and phenotypic information ...
Comparative Genomics Used to Predict Virulence Factors and Metabolic Genes among Monilinia Species
(MDPI, 2021-06-08)
Brown rot, caused by Monilinia spp., is among the most important diseases in stonefruits, and some pome fruits (mainly apples). This disease is responsible for significant yield losses,particularly in ...
Expression QTL (eQTLs) Analyses Reveal Candidate Genes Associated With Fruit Flesh Softening Rate in Peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch]
(Frontiers Media, 2019-12-03)
Significant differences in softening rate have been reported between melting flesh in peach and nectarine varieties. This trait seems to be controlled by several genes. We aimed to identify candidate ...
