Climate change, large monocultures of disease-susceptible cultivars, overuse of pesticides,
and the emergence of new pathogens or pathogenic strains causing economic losses are all …

In plants, fruit ripening is a coordinated developmental process that requires the change in
expression of hundreds to thousands of genes to modify many biochemical and …

We sequenced the genome of the highly heterozygous almond Prunus dulcis cv. Texas
combining short‐and long‐read sequencing. We obtained a genome assembly totaling …

Sweet cherry (Prunus avium) is an economically significant fruit species in the genus
Prunus. However, in contrast to other important fruit trees in this genus, only one draft …

Phytochemicals or secondary metabolites present in fruit are key components contributing to
sensory attributes like aroma, taste, and color. In addition, these compounds improve human …

Abstract Background Structural variations (SVs), a major resource of genomic variation, can
have profound consequences on phenotypic variation, yet the impacts of SVs remain largely …

Breeding fruit species is time-consuming and expensive. With few exceptions, trees are
likely the worst species to work with in terms of genetics and breeding. Most are …

Sour cherry (Prunus cerasus L.) is a valuable fruit crop in the Rosaceae family and a hybrid
between progenitors closely related to extant Prunus fruticosa (ground cherry) and Prunus …

Sweet cherry maturity date and fruit quality are relevant traits for its marketability, transport,
and consumer acceptance. In this work, sweet cherry fruit development time, maturity date …

Background Plums are one of the most economically important Rosaceae fruit crops and
comprise dozens of species distributed across the world. Until now, only limited genomic …
