The identification and analysis of meristematic mutations within the apple tree that developed the RubyMac sport mutation

Abstract Background Understanding the molecular basis of sport mutations in fruit trees has the potential to accelerate generation of improved cultivars. Results For this, we analyzed the genome of the apple tree that developed the RubyMac phenotype through a sport mutation that led to the character...
