The cultivated apple is a major fruit crop in temperate zones. Its wild relatives, distributed
across temperate Eurasia and growing in diverse habitats, represent potentially useful …

Abstract Apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) is one of the most widely produced and
economically important fruits in temperate regions. Fruit color development in apple is a …

We report a high-quality draft genome sequence of the domesticated apple (Malus×
domestica). We show that a relatively recent (> 50 million years ago) genome-wide …

Anthocyanin accumulation is coordinated in plants by a number of conserved transcription
factors. In apple (Malus× domestica), an R2R3 MYB transcription factor has been shown to …

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 development of saturated linkage maps using transferable markers, restriction fragment
length polymorphisms, and micro-satellites has provided a foundation for fruit tree genetics …

As high-throughput genetic marker screening systems are essential for a range of genetics
studies and plant breeding applications, the International RosBREED SNP Consortium …

This review describes in vitro mutation induction methods in fruits and the in vitro selection
procedures available for early screening. Results obtained through in vitro mutation …

The economic well being of the apple industry has been improved through development of
products and/or technologies that allow new markets to be exploited, through increases in …

The genome sequence of apple (Malus× domestica Borkh.) was published more than a year
ago, which helped develop an 8K SNP chip to assist in implementing genomic selection …
