Marker assisted selectionFruit trees breedingTemperate fruit species are those adapted to climates in the middle latitudes and according to their fruits are usually classified as fruit and nut trees, vine, and berries. Most of the best-known temperate tree crops are members of the Rosaceae family,...
cultivar relatedness, and genetic map structure. This review collects recent information aboutPistaciagermplasm conservation and utilization. These tools will greatly assist breeding programs that should be organized in collaboration with all producer countries in order to create solutions for preventing geneti...
A range of new technologies that will both reduce unit costs and increase production are being integrated in apple breeding programmes. Also, molecular breeding is opening an opportunity to significantly reduce the time to incorporate new traits from wild relatives into established crops; enhancing ...
Conventional breeding based on phenotypic evaluations has many drawbacks, including the long generation time and large physical size of tea plants, and the inability to assess the marketable product prior to the tea seedling reaching physiological maturity. However, for tea plants and fruit trees17, ...
Our study finds that domesticated citrus fruit crops, such as man- darins and sweet orange, experienced a complex history of admix- ture, conceptually similar to those well-recognized in annual crops, such as rice42 and maize43, and in other fruit trees, such as apple44 and grape45, for...
adaptability and fruit skin coloration [15]. Thymusis an herbaceous aromatic plant of the family Lamiaceae, known for its fragrance. This plant can be used as a food, medicine, and spice and in honey production [16,17].Thymeessential oil is rich in compounds such as phenols, terpenes, and...
Citrus, some of the most important fruit crops worldwide, are perennial trees requiring a juvenility period of several years and frequently are parthenocarpic and sexually self-incompatible [2,3], which considerably impairs traditional breeding. Genomic technology, including methods to rapidly identify...
It is considered that general avoidance of fruit has a negative effect on health in allergic patients and also affects their quality of life. Therefore, the low allergic property of fruit is worth considering in new peach breeding programs. As cultivars of the same species differ in allergenicity...
Flower development is a matter of interest for stable fruit production and cross breeding of many trees. In citrus, the seedling juvenile period is considerably long (1.5 to 20 years), hampering classical breeding efforts, linkage analysis for various important traits and functional evaluations of ...
Among crop fruit trees, the apricot (Prunus armeniaca) provides an excellent model to study divergence and adaptation processes. Here, we obtain nearly 600 Armeniaca apricot genomes and four high-quality assemblies anchored on genetic maps. Chinese and E
