Fine map** of the peach pollen sterility gene (Ps/ps) and detection of markers for marker-assisted selection
In peach, pollen sterility, expressed as absence of pollen in the anthers, segregates as an undesired trait in breeding programs. Pollen fertility screening in progenies is not a common practice mainly because...

Map** a major gene for red skin color suppression (highlighter) in peach
Presence, absence and intensity of red skin color in peach fruit are key characters for breeding varieties adapted to different market niches and consumer preferences. Red skin color is the result of anthocyan...

Exploring almond genetic variability useful for peach improvement: map** major genes and QTLs in two interspecific almond × peach populations
Genetic analysis of a diverse set of 42 traits for flower (5), phenology (9), fruit quality (19), leaf (8) and disease resistance (1) was carried out in two interspecific almond × peach populations, an F2 (T × E...

Map** of a major gene for the slow ripening character in peach: co-location with the maturity date gene and development of a candidate gene-based diagnostic marker for its selection
Progeny of certain peach crosses include plants with slow ripening (SR) fruits that do not mature and remain on the tree after leaf fall. This character is determined by a single gene (Sr/sr) that segregated in t...

Development of diagnostic markers for selection of the subacid trait in peach
Peaches with low acidity are preferred in the market and this trait is usually selected in commercial breeding programs. A major gene (D/d) has been described for this character located on linkage group 5 of peac...

Combining linkage and association map** to search for markers linked to the flat fruit character in peach
The character of flat versus round fruit shape is controlled by a single gene (S/s) on chromosome 6 in peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch], with the flat fruit phenotype produced by the S/s heterozygous genotype. ...

Comparison of the genetic determinism of two key phenological traits, flowering and maturity dates, in three Prunus species: peach, apricot and sweet cherry
The present study investigates the genetic determinism of flowering and maturity dates, two traits highly affected by global climate change. Flowering and maturity dates were evaluated on five progenies from t...

Bin map** of genomic and EST-derived SSRs in melon (Cucumis melo L.)
We report the development of 158 primer pairs flanking SSR motifs in genomic (gSSR) and EST (EST-SSR) melon sequences, all yielding polymorphic bands in melon germplasm, except one that was polymorphic only in Cu...

A framework physical map for peach, a model Rosaceae species
A genome-wide framework physical map of peach was constructed using high-information content fingerprinting (HICF) and FPC software. The resulting HICF assembly contained 2,138 contigs composed of 15,655 clone...

Creating climacteric melon fruit from nonclimacteric parentals: postharvest quality implications
Physiologists have historically divided ripening into two general classi- fications, climacteric and nonclimacteric, based on the presence or absence of dramatic ripening-related increases in respiration, resp...

An enhanced microsatellite map of diploid Fragaria
A total of 45 microsatellites (SSRs) were developed for map** in Fragaria. They included 31 newly isolated codominant genomic SSRs from F. nubicola and a further 14 SSRs, derived from an expressed sequence tagg...

Simple-sequence repeat markers used in merging linkage maps of melon (Cucumis melo L.)
A set of 118 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers has been developed in melon from two different sources: genomic libraries (gSSR) and expressed sequence-tag (EST) databases (EST-SSR). Forty-nine percent of th...

Looking into flowering time in almond (Prunus dulcis (Mill) D. A. Webb): the candidate gene approach
Blooming time is one of the most important agronomic traits in almond. Biochemical and molecular events underlying flowering regulation must be understood before methods to stimulate late flowering can be deve...

Phylogenetic relationships among Cucumis species based on the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer sequence and microsatellite markers
The phylogenetic relationships within the genus Cucumis (a total of 25 accessions belonging to 17 species) were studied using the nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. The analysis inclu...

Microsatellite genetic linkage maps of myrobalan plum and an almond-peach hybrid—location of root-knot nematode resistance genes
Inheritance and linkage studies were carried out with microsatellite [or simple sequence repeat (SSR)] markers in a F1 progeny including 101 individuals of a cross between Myrobalan plum (Prunus cerasifera Ehrh) ...

Identification of quantitative trait loci involved in fruit quality traits in melon (Cucumis melo L.)
Two populations [an F2 and a set of 77 double haploid lines (DHLs)] developed from a cross between a ‘Piel de Sapo’ cultivar (PS) and the exotic Korean accession PI 161375 were used to detect QTLs involved in mel...
