This review shows a close biogeographic connection between eastern Asia and western
North America from the late Cretaceous to the late Neogene in major lineages of vascular …

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 map** …

Most previous molecular phylogenetic studies of Prunus have been conducted primarily with
crop species and their close relatives. As the center of crop diversity of the genus is in …

The classification of the economically important genus Prunus L. sensu lato (sl) is
controversial due to the high levels of convergent or the parallel evolution of morphological …

Background Internal transcribed spacer of nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) is already one of
the most popular phylogenetic and DNA barcoding markers. However, the existence of its …

High-throughput genome scans are important tools for genetic studies and breeding
applications. Here, a 6K SNP array for use with the Illumina Infinium® system was …

The genus Prunus, which contains 250–400 species, has ample genomic resources for the
economically important taxa in the group including cherries, peaches, and almonds …

A total of 145 microsatellite primer pairs from Prunus DNA sequences were studied for
transferability in a set of eight cultivars from nine rosaceous species (almond, peach, apricot …

The late Eocene ambers provide plethora of animal and plant fossils including well-
preserved angiosperm flowers from the Baltic amber. The Rovno amber from NW Ukraine …

Cherries (Prunus Subgenus Cerasus) have economic value and ecological significance, yet
their phylogeny, geographic origin, timing, and dispersal patterns remain challenging to …
