The biosynthesis of anthocyanin in many plants is affected by environmental conditions. In apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.), concentrations fruit anthocyanins are lower under hot climatic We examined the accumulation peel maturing 'Mondial Gala' and 'Royal apples, grown both temperate climates, using artificial heating on-tree fruit. Heat caused a dramatic reduction concentration transcripts genes biosynthetic pathway. Heating rapidly reduced expression R2R3 MYB transcription factor (MYB10)...
Quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping approaches rely on the correct ordering of molecular markers along chromosomes, which can be obtained from genetic linkage maps or a reference genome sequence. For apple (Malus domestica Borkh), sequence v1 and v2 could not meet this need; therefore, novel approach was devised to develop dense map, providing most reliable marker-loci order for highest possible number markers. The based four strategies: (i) use multiple full-sib families, (ii) reduction...
Fruit texture is a complex feature composed of mechanical and acoustic properties relying on the modifications occurring in cell wall throughout fruit development ripening. Apple characterized by large variation behavior that directly impacts both consumer's appreciation post-harvest performance. To decipher genetic control comprehensively, two complementing quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping approaches were employed. The first was represented pedigree-based analysis (PBA) carried out...
Breeding programmes count on stable trained panels that support breeding evaluation selections. This work aimed to evaluate the performance of a small expert panel in join IRTA-PFR programme validate its use sensory assessments fruit pear genotypes during selection process. A F1 population 80 seedlings from this was used. Descriptors and standard references used for evaluations attributes were previously defined by four members panel. General Procrustes Analysis (GPA) applied analyse...
ABSTRACT Genomic prediction for multiple environments can aid the selection of genotypes suited to specific soil and climate conditions. Methodological advances allow effective integration phenotypic, genomic (additive, non-additive), large-scale environmental (enviromic) data into multi-environmental models. These models also account genotype-by-environment interaction, utilize alternative relationship matrices (kernels), or substitute statistical approaches with deep learning. However,...
The aromatic profile of apples constitutes important information for the characterization and description local products. Apple flavor is determined by perception in mouth aroma; while first mainly defined sugars organic acids, aroma a complex mixture many volatile compounds (VOCs) whose composition often specific to variety. Headspace-solid phase microextraction gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) allows detection detailed constituents. In this study, eleven...

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been used for a range of genetic studies and are now starting to be applied marker-assisted selection in plant breeding programs. To identify SNP markers associated with red fruit skin color, we conducted genome-wide association (GWA) analysis an apple ( Malus × domestica Borkh.) population comprising 94 phenotyped individuals using 384-plex assay. Linkage disequilibrium (LD) indicated that LD extends over long physical distance the (17 Mbp),...

Fruit quality is represented by a series of genetically controlled features that change throughout the entire ontogenic life. Among several traits, texture plays crucial role, impacting both consumers’ appreciation and postharvest performance. In order to decipher its regulation multidisciplinary approach was employed. Initially, performance measured with high resolution phenotyping device, analyzer equipped an acoustic device. first attempt dissect fruit genetic control, two QTL mapping...
In apple breeding fruit quality is a crucial aspect to guarantee commercial success of new varieties. Among the several attributes, individual sugars and acid components, as well texture, are considered important features due their significant contribution sensory consumer's acceptance. traditional breeding, however, selection for these particular traits time consuming process, long unproductive juvenile phase seedlings. This step can be assisted date by use molecular markers, an diagnostic...
Texture is a relevant parameter for the assessment of cured ham's quality. In this study rapid on-line instrumental technique measurement texture pieces smoked ham intended sale as "Speck Alto Adige" PGI was developed. Speck samples were subjected to compression test using portable Shore A tester, and data compared with conventional analyses (texture profile analysis stress relaxation test) sensory evaluations. First, hardness range in which threshold value could be identified eligibility...
