We present a draft assembly of the genome of European pear (Pyrus communis)'Bartlett'.
Our assembly was developed employing second generation sequencing technology (Roche …

Anthocyanin accumulation is coordinated in plants by a number of conserved transcription
factors. In apple (Malus× domestica), an R2R3 MYB transcription factor has been shown to …

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 …

Woody perennial plants, including trees that produce fruits and nuts of horticultural value,
