Exploring deep learning for complex trait genomic prediction in polyploid outcrossing species
(Frontiers Media, 2020-02-06)
Genomic prediction (GP) is the procedure whereby the genetic merits of untested candidates are predicted using genome wide marker information. Although numerous examples of GP exist in plants and animals, ...
Almond population genomics and non-additive GWAS reveal new insights into almond dissemination history and candidate genes for nut traits and blooming time
(Oxford University Press, 2023-09-25)
Domestication drastically changed crop genomes, fixing alleles of interest and creating different genetic populations. Genome-wide
association studies (GWASs) are a powerful tool to detect these alleles ...
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 ...
The ethylene-responsive transcription factor ERF024 is a novel regulator of climacteric fruit ripening in melon
(Wiley, 2024-06-20)
Fruit ripening is an essential developmental stage in Angiosperms triggered by hormonal signals such as
ethylene, a major player in climacteric ripening. Melon is a unique crop showing both climacteric ...
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 ...
Inheritance of esters and other volatile compounds responsible for the fruity aroma in strawberry
(Frontiers Media, 2022-08-12)
Cultivated strawberry, Fragaria × ananassa, has a complex aroma due to the presence of more than 350 volatile organic compounds (VOCs). However, a mixture of only 19 compounds, called Key Volatile ...
Inheritance and QTL analysis of chilling and heat requirements for flowering in an interspecific almond x peach (Texas x Earlygold) F2 population
(Euphytica, 2020-03-04)
Blooming in temperate fruit species is triggered by chilling and heat requirements (CR and HR), with a wide range of requirements within the same species. CR for flower bud dormancy release has become ...
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 ...
CmVPS41 Is a General Gatekeeper for Resistance to Cucumber Mosaic Virus Phloem Entry in Melon
(Frontiers Media, 2019-10-01)
Melon production is often compromised by viral diseases, which cannot be treated with chemicals. Therefore, the use of genetic resistances is the main strategy for generating crops resistant to viruses. ...
PERSEUS: an interactive and intuitive web-based tool for pedigree visualization
(Oxford University Press, 2024-02-03)
Pedigree-based analyses’ prime role is to unravel relationships between individuals in breeding programs and germplasms. This is critical information for decoding the genetics underlying main inherited ...
