The availability of suitable genetic markers is essential to efficiently select and breed apple
varieties of high quality and with multiple disease resistances. Microsatellites (simple …

The potential use of RAPD markers for taxonomic studies in Malus was investigated using
18 accessions of wild species and 27 apple cultivars. 29 preselected random decamer …

Trees of 68 apple cultivars, aimed for preservation by the 'National Program for diversity of
cultivated plants' as mandate cultivars, were analysed using a set of 10 SSR (simple …

Apple cultivars and breeding lines that represent much of the diversity currently present in
major European breeding programmes and are genetically related by their pedigree were …

Retrotransposons have been found to comprise the most common class of transposable
elements in eukaryotes and to occur in high copy number in plant genomes. Several of …

A map with 51 markers (46 RFLPs and five isozymes) was constructed using an interspecific
F 2 population between'Garfi'almond (Prunus amygdalus Batsch.) and'Nemared'peach …

Background The amount and structure of genetic diversity in dessert apple germplasm
conserved at a European level is mostly unknown, since all diversity studies conducted in …

An integrated genetic linkage map, based on an intraspecific peach F 2 population, was
constructed to include 94 simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci, 14 sequence tagged sites …
