Abstract Domestication of the apple was mainly driven by interspecific hybridization. In present study, we report haplotype-resolved genomes cultivated ( Malus domestica cv. Gala) and its two major wild progenitors, M. sieversii sylvestris . Substantial variations are identified between haplotypes each genome. Inference genome ancestry identifies ~23% Gala as hybrid origin. Deep sequencing 91 accessions selective sweeps in apples that originated from either progenitors associated with...
Sweetpotato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.] is a globally important staple food crop, especially for sub-Saharan Africa. Agronomic improvement of sweetpotato has lagged behind other major crops due to lack genomic and genetic resources inherent challenges in breeding heterozygous, clonally propagated polyploid. Here, we report the genome sequences its two diploid relatives, I. trifida triloba, show that these high-quality assemblies are robust references hexaploid sweetpotato. Comparative...
Premise Apple orchards in the United States are under constant threat from a large number of pathogens and insects. Appropriate timely deployment disease management depends on early detection. Incorrect delayed diagnosis can result either excessive or inadequate use chemicals, with increased production costs environmental health impacts. Methods Results We have manually captured 3651 high‐quality, real‐life symptom images multiple apple foliar diseases, variable illumination, angles,...

Summary We present the first worldwide study on apple ( Malus × domestica) fruit microbiome that examines questions regarding composition and assembly of microbial communities in fruit. Results revealed structure fungal bacterial associated with vary are highly dependent geographical location. The also confirmed spatial variation different tissues exists at a global level. Fungal diversity varied significantly harvested locations suggests potential link between location type rate postharvest...
β-Carotene content in sweetpotato is associated with the Orange and phytoene synthase genes; due to physical linkage of sucrose synthase, β-carotene starch are negatively correlated. In populations depending on for food security, an important source calories, while provitamin A. The negative association between two traits contributes low nutritional quality consumed, especially sub-Saharan Africa. Using a biparental mapping population 315 F
Abstract Pear, belonging to the genus Pyrus, is one of most economically important temperate fruit crops. Pyrus an Rosaceae family, subfamily Maloideae, and has at least 22 different species with over 5000 accessions maintained or identified worldwide. With release draft whole-genome sequences for opportunities pursuing studies on evolution, domestication, molecular breeding pear, as well conducting comparative genomics analyses within have been greatly expanded. In this review, we highlight...
In developing countries, the sweetpotato, Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam. [Formula: see text], is an important autopolyploid species, both socially and economically. However, quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping has remained limited due to its genetic complexity. Current fixed-effect models can fit only a single QTL are generally hard interpret. Here, we report use of random-effect model approach map multiple based on score statistics in sweetpotato biparental population ('Beauregard' ×...
Summary Pear ( Pyrus ; 2 n = 34), the third most important temperate fruit crop, has great nutritional and economic value. Despite availability of many genomic resources in pear, it is challenging to genotype novel germplasm breeding progeny a timely cost‐effective manner. Genotyping arrays can provide fast, efficient high‐throughput genetic characterization diverse germplasm, mapping populations. We present here 200K AXIOM ® Pyr SNP , large‐scale single nucleotide polymorphism ) genotyping...
Drought stress caused by unpredictable precipitation poses a major threat to food production worldwide, and its impact is only expected increase with the further onset of climate change. Understanding effect drought on crops plants' response critical for developing improved varieties stable high yield fill growing gap from an increasing population depending decreasing land water resources. When plant encounters stress, it may use multiple types, environmental conditions, intensity duration,...
ABSTRACT The phytopathogenic bacterium Erwinia amylovora is responsible for causing fire blight, a devastating disease affecting rosaceous plants, including apples and pears. E. strains exhibit differences in virulence depending on the genetic resistance status of host environmental factors. While variations among are known to contribute their diversity, range biology, impact large chromosomal rearrangements key bacterial phenotypes like aggressiveness understudied. In order investigate...
Apple scab, caused by Venturia inaequalis, is a destructive fungal disease of major apple cultivars worldwide, most which are moderately to highly susceptible. Thus, development scab resistant one the highest priorities breeding programs. The principal source resistance for programs has been gene Rvi6 that originated from Japanese crabapple Malus floribunda (Sieb.) sel. 821. Isolates V. inaequalis able overcome have identified in Europe, but not yet reported on American continents. We...
Abstract Background Breeding for resistance to apple scab (caused by Venturia inaequalis ), the most devastating fungal disease of apples, relies on genetic resources maintained in germplasm collections. Methods To identify new sources resistance, we evaluated 177 Malus accessions, including 27 primary and 13 hybrid species from diverse geographical origins, an orchard at Geneva, New York. We also screened a differential host set 2 years monitor changes effectiveness ten known genes, which...
The apple cultivar 'Honeycrisp' has superior fruit quality traits, cold hardiness, and disease resistance, making it a popular breeding parent. However, suffers from several physiological disorders, production, postharvest issues. Despite available genome sequences, understanding of the genetic mechanisms underlying cultivar-specific traits remains lacking. Here, we present highly contiguous, fully phased, chromosome-level apples, using PacBio HiFi, Omni-C, Illumina sequencing platforms,...
The SnRKs (sucrose non-fermenting 1 related protein kinase) are a gene family coding for Ser/Thr kinases and play important roles in linking the tolerance metabolic responses of plants to abiotic stresses. To date, no genome-wide characterization sucrose non-ferment kinase 2 (SnRK2) subfamily has been conducted potato (Solanum tuberosum L.).In this study, eight StSnRK2 genes (StSnRK2.1- StSnRK2.8) were identified genome L.) cultivar 'Longshu 3', with similar characteristics SnRK2 from other...
An unusual decline and collapse of young established trees known as "rapid apple decline" (RAD) has become a major concern for growers, particularly in the northeastern United States. This is characterized by stunted growth, pale yellow to reddish leaves, tree within weeks after onset symptoms. We studied declining identify potential involvement abiotic biotic stresses. used 16S ITS profile bacterial fungal communities soil, rhizosphere, roots, shoots tested presence six viruses scions...
Pear (Pyrus spp.) is one of the most common fruit crops grown in temperate regions worldwide. Genetic enhancement quality a fundamental goal pear breeding programs. The genetic control traits highly quantitative, and development high-density maps can facilitate fine-mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs) gene identification. Bin-mapping powerful method constructing high-resolution from large-scale genotyping datasets. We performed whole-genome sequencing cultivars 'Niitaka' 'Hongxiangsu'...
