The subgenus Cerasus and its relatives include many crucial economic drupe fruits and
ornamental plants. Repetitive elements make up a large part of complex genomes, and …

Prunus conradinae, a valuable flowering cherry belonging to the Rosaceae family subgenus
Cerasus and endemic to China, has high economic and ornamental value. However, a high …

Background Plums are one of the most important economic crops of the Rosaceae family
and are produced all over the world. China has many local varieties, but the genomic …

Background Long terminal repeat (LTR)-retrotransposons constitute 42.4% of the genome of
the 'Suli'pear (Pyrus pyrifolia white pear group), implying that retrotransposons have played …

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 …

Prunus species include many important perennial fruit crops, such as peach, plum, apricot,
and related wild species. Here, we report de novo genome assemblies for five species …

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 …

Abstract Background Expressed Sequence Tag (EST) has been a cost-effective tool in
molecular biology and represents an abundant valuable resource for genome annotation …

Grapevine is one of the most economically important crops in the world. Although long
terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons are thought to have played an important role in …

Abstract Background The Rosaceae encompass a large number of economically-important
diploid and polyploid fruit and ornamental species in many different genera. The basic …
