Abstract Apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) is one of the most widely produced and
economically important fruits in temperate regions. Fruit color development in apple is a …

Perennial crops are vital contributors to global food production and nutrition. However, the
breeding of new perennial crops is an expensive and time-consuming process due to the …

Human selection has reshaped crop genomes. Here we report an apple genome variation
map generated through genome sequencing of 117 diverse accessions. A comprehensive …

In contrast to climacteric fruits such as tomato, the knowledge on key regulatory genes
controlling the ripening of strawberry, a nonclimacteric fruit, is still limited. NAC transcription …

Breeding fruit species is time-consuming and expensive. With few exceptions, trees are
likely the worst species to work with in terms of genetics and breeding. Most are …

The apple (Malus domestica) is one of the world's most commercially important perennial
crops and its improvement has been the focus of human effort for thousands of years. Here …

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 …

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 …

Prunus species include many important perennial fruit crops, such as peach, plum, apricot,
and related wild species. Here, we report de novo genome assemblies for five species …

Many efforts have been made to map quantitative trait loci (QTL s) to facilitate practical
marker‐assisted selection (MAS) in plants. In the present study, using Map QTL and BSA …
