Morphological variation in black cherry (Prunus serotina Ehrh.) associated with environmental conditions in Mexico and the United States
Black cherries are native to North America and make up a complex of five morphologically different subspecies growing in significantly different niches. This study used 474 presence points, 19 climate paramete...

Variance, Inter-Trait Correlation, Heritability, and Marker-Trait Association of Rubber Yield-Related Characteristics in Taraxacum kok-saghyz
Rubber dandelion (Taraxacum kok-saghyz or TK) is a potential industrial crop species that can produce high-quality natural rubber in its roots. The present study estimated trait variance, inter-trait correlation,...

Article
An integrative AmpSeq platform for highly multiplexed marker-assisted pyramiding of grapevine powdery mildew resistance loci
Resistance breeding often requires the introgression and tracking of resistance loci from wild species into domesticated backgrounds, typically with the goal of pyramiding multiple resistance genes, to provide...

Open AccessAnalysis of the first Taraxacum kok-saghyz transcriptome reveals potential rubber yield related SNPs
Taraxacum kok-saghyz (TK) is a potential alternative crop for natural rubber (NR) production, due to its high molecular weight rubber, short breeding cycle, and diverse environmental adap...

Open AccessGenome-wide DNA-(de)methylation is associated with Noninfectious Bud-failure exhibition in Almond (Prunus dulcis [Mill.] D.A.Webb)
Noninfectious bud-failure (BF) remains a major threat to almond production in California, particularly with the recent rapid expansion of acreage and as more intensive cultural practices and modern cultivars a...

Open AccessGenetic dissection of powdery mildew resistance in interspecific half-sib grapevine families using SNP-based maps
Quantitative trait locus (QTL) identification in perennial fruit crops is impeded largely by their lengthy generation time, resulting in costly and labor-intensive maintenance of breeding programs. In a grapev...

Toward the elucidation of cytoplasmic diversity in North American grape breeding programs
Plants have an intriguing tripartite genetic system: Nuclear genome × Mitochondria × Plastids and their interactions may impact germplasm breeding. In grapevine, the study of cytoplasmic genomes has been limit...

QTL map** and breeding value estimation through pedigree-based analysis of fruit size and weight in four diverse peach breeding programs
The narrow genetic base of peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch) challenges efforts to accurately dissect the genetic architecture of complex traits. Standardized phenotypic assessment of pedigree-linked breeding germ...

QTL map** of pomological traits in peach and related species breeding germplasm
Peach is an economically important fruit tree crop that exhibits high phenotypic variability yet suffers from diversity-limited gene pool. Genetic introgression of novel alleles from related species is being p...

Open AccessHeterogeneity in the entire genome for three genotypes of peach [Prunus persica(L.) Batsch] as distinguished from sequence analysis of genomic variants
Peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] is an economically important fruit crop that has become a genetic-genomic model for all Prunus species in the family Rosaceae. A doubled haploid reference genome sequence length...

Effect prediction of identified SNPs linked to fruit quality and chilling injury in peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch]
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are a fundamental source of genomic variation. Large SNP panels have been developed for Prunus species. Fruit quality traits are essential peach breeding program objectives ...

Influence of year and genetic factors on chilling injury susceptibility in peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch)
Chilling injury (CI) is a major physiological problem limiting consumption and export of peach and nectarine (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch). To clarify the genetic basis for chilling injury, inheritance of the majo...
