Somatic variations led to the selection of acidic and acidless orange cultivars
Somatic variations are a major source of genetic diversification in asexual plants, and underpin clonal evolution and the breeding of asexual crops....

CC-NBS-LRR, a set of VvCRP markers, can distinguish cultivars with ripe rot resistance to Colletotrichum pathogens in grapevine
Grape ripe rot is a fungal disease, which is almost inextinguishable particularly before and after harvest in most vineyards. The management of this...

Characterization and temporal–spatial expression analysis of LEC1 gene in the development of seedless berries in grape induced by gibberellin
Grape ( Vitis vinifera L.), a commercial fruit crop, is profoundly sensitive to gibberellic acid (GA), however exogenous application can significantly...
-
Fruit crops in the era of genome editing: closing the regulatory gap
The conventional breeding of fruits and fruit trees has led to the improvement of consumer-driven traits such as fruit size, yield, nutritional...

Genome-wide identification and analysis of B-BOX gene family in grapevine reveal its potential functions in berry development
BackgroundThe B-BOX (BBX) proteins are the class of zinc-finger transcription factors and can regulate plant growth, development, and endure stress...

A MADS-box transcription factor from grapevine, VvMADS45, influences seed development
Grape is one of the most economically important fruits worldwide, and seedless fruit is a main target in grape breeding. The MADS-box genes encode a...

Novel stable QTLs identification for berry quality traits based on high-density genetic linkage map construction in table grape
BackgroundAroma, berry firmness and berry shape are three main quality traits in table grape production, and also the important target traits in...

Genetic map** and survey of powdery mildew resistance in the wild Central Asian ancestor of cultivated grapevines in Central Asia
Cultivated grapevines ( Vitis vinifera ) lack resistance to powdery mildew (PM) with few exceptions. Resistance to this pathogen within V. vinifera has...

Low transcription of CmsIAA9 in the basal pistil is related to parthenocarpic fruiting of fingered citron (Foshou)
Seedlessness is a commercial trait that provides a good model for uncovering fruiting mechanisms. Fingered citron ( Citrus medica L. var. sarcodactylis ...

New cold-resistant, seedless grapes developed using embryo rescue and marker-assisted selection
One of the major objectives of table grape breeding is to produce seedless grapes of Vitis vinifera L. Of high importance among these objectives is...
-
Seedless mutant ‘Wuzi Ougan’ (Citrus suavissima Hort. ex Tanaka ‘seedless’) and the wild type were compared by iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomics and integratedly analyzed with transcriptome to improve understanding of male sterility
BackgroundBud mutation is a vital method of citrus. ‘Wuzi Ougan’ (mutant type, MT) as a bud variant of ‘Ougan’ (wild type, WT) was first found in...
-
Improved in vitro Vitis vinifera L. embryo development of F1 progeny of ‘Delight’ × ‘Ruby seedless’ using putrescine and marker-assisted selection
Production of seedless V. vinifera L. cultivars is one of the major goals of table grape breeding. Traditional methods result in only a low...
