Identification of strong candidate genes for backfat and intramuscular fatty acid composition in three crosses based on the Iberian pig
(Nature Research, 2020-08-18)
Meat quality has an important genetic component and can be modified by the fatty acid (FA) composition and the amount of fat contained in adipose tissue and muscle. The present study aimed to find genomic ...
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 ...
About the existence of common determinants of gene expression in the porcine liver and skeletal muscle
(BMC, 2019-06-24)
Background: The comparison of expression QTL (eQTL) maps obtained in different tissues is an essential step to
understand how gene expression is genetically regulated in a context-dependent manner. In ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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’ ...
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 ...
