Open AccessAnalysis of expressed sequence tags from Prunus mume flower and fruit and development of simple sequence repeat markers
Expressed Sequence Tag (EST) has been a cost-effective tool in molecular biology and represents an abundant valuable resource for genome annotation, gene expression, and comparative genomics in plants.

Open AccessHigh-throughput sequencing of small RNAs and analysis of differentially expressed microRNAs associated with pistil development in Japanese apricot
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of endogenous, small, non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression by mediating gene silencing at transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels in high plants. However, the di...

Genome-wide identification of the auxin response factor (ARF) gene family and expression analysis of its role associated with pistil development in Japanese apricot (Prunus mume Sieb. et Zucc)
Auxin has been widely implicated in various aspects of plant growth and development, including flower development. In order to further elucidate the role of auxin during flower development, especially on the p...

Pistil abortion in Japanese apricot (Prunus mume Sieb. et Zucc.): isolation and functional analysis of PmCCoAOMT gene
The abnormal pistils widely occur in Japanese apricot (Prunus mume Sieb. et Zucc) and seriously affect the fruit production. In this study, a CCoAOMT homologue, PmCCoAOMT, was cloned in Japanese apricot and the b...

Open AccessHigh-density genetic map construction and quantitative trait loci analysis of the stony hard phenotype in peach based on restriction-site associated DNA sequencing
Peach (Prunus persica) is an important fruit crop that generally softens rapidly after harvest resulting in a short shelf-life. By contrast, stony hard (SH) peach fruit does not soften and hardly produces ethylen...
