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** …

In 2010, a major scientific milestone was achieved for tree fruit crops: publication of the first
draft whole genome sequence (WGS) for apple (Malus domestica). This WGS, v1. 0, was …

Improved genotypes developed by plant breeding remain pivotal to global food security. In
the wake of ever-increasing human population, declining agricultural resources and the …

High-density SNP arrays for genome-wide assessment of allelic variation have made high
resolution genetic characterization of crop germplasm feasible. A medium density array for …

There is lack of information about the effects of foliar applied nanoparticles on fruit quality. In
this study, three week-old soil grown cucumber seedlings were foliar-exposed to nCeO 2 …

Background The release of the first reference genome of walnut (Juglans regia L.) enabled
many achievements in the characterization of walnut genetic and functional variation …

Background A high-throughput genoty** platform is needed to enable marker-assisted
breeding in the allo-octoploid cultivated strawberry Fragaria× ananassa. Short-read …

The application of genomic selection in fruit tree crops is expected to enhance breeding
efficiency by increasing prediction accuracy, increasing selection intensity and decreasing …

Abstract Background Apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) is one of the most important fruit tree
crops of temperate areas, with great economic and cultural value. Apple cultivars can be …

Despite the availability of whole genome sequences of apple and peach, there has been a
considerable gap between genomics and breeding. To bridge the gap, the European Union …
