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 ...
The high-quality draft genome of peach (Prunus persica) identifies unique patterns of genetic diversity, domestication and genome evolution
(Nature Research, 2013-03-24)
Rosaceae is the most important fruit-producing clade, and its key commercially relevant genera (Fragaria, Rosa, Rubus and Prunus) show broadly diverse growth habits, fruit types and compact diploid g ...
Integrated QTL detection for key breeding traits in multiple peach progenies
(BMC, 2017-06-06)
Background: Peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) is a major temperate fruit crop with an intense breeding activity.Breeding is facilitated by knowledge of the inheritance of the key traits that are often ...
High-density genetic map and QTL analysis of soluble solid content, maturity date, and mealiness in peach using genotyping by sequencing
(Elsevier, 2019-08-08)
Peach (Prunus persica) is one of the most important temperate fruit trees in the world, based on its production and cultivated area. Consumer acceptance is the principal objective of multiple breeding ...
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 ...
Direct and reverse pollen-mediated gene flow between GM rice and red rice weed
(Oxford University Press, 2013-11-07)
Potential risks of genetically modified (GM) crops must be identified before their commercialization, as
happens with all new technologies. One of the major concerns is the proper risk assessment of ...
Genetic analysis of the wild strawberry (Fragaria vesca) volatile composition
(Elsevier, 2017-10-25)
The volatile composition of wild strawberry (Fragaria vesca) fruit differs from that of the cultivated strawberry, having more intense and fruity aromas. Over the last few years, the diploid F. vesca ...
A deletion affecting an LRR-RLK gene co-segregates with the fruit flat shape trait in peach
(Nature Research, 2017-07-27)
In peach, the fat phenotype is caused by a partially dominant allele in heterozygosis (Ss), fruits from
homozygous trees (SS) abort a few weeks after fruit setting. Previous research has identifed a ...
Use of targeted SNP selection for an improved anchoring of the melon (Cucumis melo L.) scaffold genome assembly
(BMC, 2015-01-22)
Background: The genome of the melon (Cucumis melo L.) double-haploid line DHL92 was recently sequenced, with 87.5 and 80.8% of the scaffold assembly anchored and oriented to the 12 linkage groups, ...
