Abstract Genotyping-by-Sequencing (GBS) was applied in a set of 53 diploid Prunus
rootstocks and five scion cultivars from three subgenera (Amygdalus, Prunus and Cerasus) …

The identification of genes involved in variation of peach fruit quality would assist breeders
to create new cultivars with improved fruit quality. Peach is a genetic and genomic model …

Peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) is one of the most produced and studied stone fruits.
Many genetic and genomic resources are available for this species, including a high-quality …

Background The application of next generation sequencing technologies and bioinformatic
scripts to identify high frequency SNPs distributed throughout the peach genome is …

Although a large number of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers covering the
entire genome are needed to enable molecular breeding efforts such as genome wide …

One of the applications of genomics is to identify genetic markers linked to loci responsible
for variation in phenotypic traits, which could be used in breeding programs to select …

Genotyping by sequencing (GBS) is a flexible and cost-effective strategy for genome-wide
SNP discovery and high-throughput genotyping. Here, we employed the GBS approach to …

Prior to the availability of whole-genome sequences, our understanding of the structural and
functional aspects of Prunus tree genomes was limited mostly to molecular genetic mapping …

Peach was domesticated in China more than four millennia ago and from there it spread
world-wide. Since the middle of the last century, peach breeding programs have been very …

Twenty microsatellite primer pairs, previously developed in peach, were used to
characterize and to explore genetic relationships among 44 clones, representing three …
