| description | A fruitful genomic resource Detailed genomic maps from the fruit-bearing trees of the Prunus genus should greatly accelerate the breeding of superior cultivars. These plants produce a variety of popular fruits, but until relatively recently, breeders had only limited genetic information with which to work. Pere Arús of Spain’s Institute of Agrifood Research and Technology and colleagues have now reviewed the rapid advances in Prunus genomics that have taken place since 2010, when researchers completed the first genome assembly for this genus. In the ensuing decade, increasingly high-quality genomes from the peach, Japanese apricot, and cherry have allowed scientists to home in on chromosomal regions associated with key traits such as fruit quality and disease resistance. These data also offer valuable genetic markers that agronomists can use to guide the production of healthier trees and more commercially desirable fruits. |
