Editorial: Translational research for cucurbit molecular breeding: Traits, markers, and genes
(Frontiers Media, 2020-11-30)
Cucurbits (family Cucurbitaceae) are economically important vegetable crops. Major cucurbits growing globally include cucumber, melon, watermelon, and squash/pumpkin. Other cucurbits like bitter melon, ...
An efficient CRISPR-Cas9 enrichment sequencing strategy for characterizing complex and highly duplicated genomic regions. A case study in the Prunus salicina LG3-MYB10 genes cluster
(BMC, 2022-08-27)
Background: Genome complexity is largely linked to diversifcation and crop innovation. Examples of regions with duplicated genes with relevant roles in agricultural traits are found in many crops. In ...
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 ...
Fruit Morphology and Ripening-Related QTLs in a Newly Developed Introgression Line Collection of the Elite Varieties ‘Védrantais’ and ‘Piel de Sapo’
(MDPI, 2022-11-15)
Melon is an economically important crop with widely diverse fruit morphology and ripening characteristics. Its diploid sequenced genome and multiple genomic tools make this species suitable to study the ...
A mutation in the melon Vacuolar Protein Sorting 41prevents systemic infection of Cucumber mosaic virus
(Nature Research, 2017-09-05)
In the melon exotic accession PI 161375, the gene cmv1, confers recessive resistance to Cucumber
mosaic virus (CMV) strains of subgroup II. cmv1 prevents the systemic infection by restricting the ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 QTL analysis in peach ‘Earlygold’ F2 and backcross progenies
(Elsevier, 2021-11-17)
Based on detailed maps, DNA sequences and phenotypic data, there is a great deal of information on the genetics and genomics of ‘Earlygold’, a historical peach cultivar from the US. The F2 between ‘Texas’ ...
Resynthesis: Marker-Based Partial Reconstruction of Elite Genotypes in Clonally-Reproducing Plant Species
(Frontiers Media, 2020-08-07)
We propose a method for marker-based selection of cultivars of clonally-reproducing plant species which keeps the basic genetic architecture of a top-performing cultivar (usually a partly heterozygous ...
