Extreme-phenotype GWAS unravels a complex nexus between apple (Malus domestica) red-flesh colour and internal flesh browning

The genetic link between apple red flesh (RF) coloration and the internal flesh browning disorder (FBD) is a major challenge when breeding high fruit quality RF apple cultivars. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted in a population of about 900 red-leaved seedlings to identify genomic...
