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 …

Anthocyanin pigmentation is an important consumer trait in peach (Prunus persica). In this
study, the genetic basis of the blood‐flesh trait was investigated using the cultivar …

Sweet cherry is a diploid tree species and its fruit skin has rich colours from yellow to blush
to dark red. The colour is closely related to anthocyanin biosynthesis and is mainly regulated …

Sweet cherries are attractive fruits due to their taste, color, nutritional value, and beneficial
