Sharka, a common disease among most stone fruit crops, is caused by the Plum Pox Virus (PPV). Resistant genotypes have been found in apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.), one of which-the cultivar 'Lito' heterozygous for resistance-has used to map major quantitative trait locus (QTL) on linkage group 1, following pseudo-test-cross mating design with 231 individuals. In addition, 19 SNP markers were selected from hundreds previously developed, which allowed region be limited 236 kb chromosome 1. A...
The availability of the peach genome sequence has fostered relevant research in and related Prunus species enabling identification genes underlying important horticultural traits as well development advanced tools for genetic genomic analyses. first release (Peach v1.0) represented a high-quality WGS (Whole Genome Shotgun) chromosome-scale assembly with high contiguity (contig L50 214.2 kb), large portions mapped sequences (96%) base accuracy (99.96%). aim this work was to improve quality by...
<title>Abstract</title> This book summarizes current state of knowledge in peach botany, production and postharvest management. Specific topics covered consisted of: botany taxonomy (chapter 1); history cultivation trends China 2); classical genetics breeding 3); genetic engineering genomics 4); low-chill cultivar development 5); fresh market 6); processing 7); rootstock 8); propagation techniques 9); carbon assimilation, partitioning budget modelling 10); orchard planting systems 11); crop...
Peach was domesticated in China more than four millennia ago and from there it spread world-wide. Since the middle of last century, peach breeding programs have been very dynamic generating hundreds new commercial varieties, however, most cases such varieties derive a limited collection parental lines (founders). This is one reason for observed low levels variability gene pool, implying that knowledge extent distribution genetic critical to allow choice adequate parents confer enhanced...
Volatile compounds, together with sugars and acids, are the main chemical species determining characteristic aroma flavor of food. In peach, more than 100 volatiles have been identified.The essential oil six peach three nectarine accessions used in Italian breeding programs was obtained by steam distillation, were investigated. A total 47 known volatiles, two unidentified compounds nine hydrocarbons identified, including 12 aldehydes, alcohols, esters, terpenes, phenylalanine derivates,...
Maturity date (MD) is a crucial factor for marketing of fresh fruit, especially those with limited shelf-life such as peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch): selection several cultivars differing MD would be advantageous to cover and extend the season. Aims this work were fine mapping identification candidate genes major maturity locus previously identified on linkage group 4. To improve genetic resolution target two F2 populations derived from crosses Contender x Ambra (CxA, 306 individuals)...
Nectarines play a key role in peach industry; the fuzzless skin has implications for consumer acceptance. The peach/nectarine (G/g) trait was described as monogenic and previously mapped on chromosome 5. Here, position of G locus delimited within 1.1 cM interval (635 kb) based linkage analysis an F2 progeny from cross 'Contender' (C, peach) x 'Ambra' (A, nectarine). Careful inspection genes annotated corresponding genomic sequence (Peach v1.0), coupled with variant discovery, led to...
1H high-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) was used to analyze 216 extra virgin olive oils collected in three years (1996, 1997, and 1998) different Italian areas order evaluate the potential contribution of this technique geographical characterization oils. A statistical procedure performed on intensity selected NMR peaks has been proposed. Tree clustering analysis data without any a priori hypothesis showed existence reliable parameters able group according location oil production....
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in plants are involved aroma and pest resistance. These form a complex mixture whose composition is specific to species often varieties. Despite their importance as essential factors that determine peach fruit quality, understanding of molecular, genetic, physiological mechanisms underlying formation limited. The aim this study was the identification quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for VOCs understand genetic basis using an F1 population 126 seedlings...
Peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) is a major temperate fruit crop with an intense breeding activity. Breeding facilitated by knowledge of the inheritance key traits that are often quantitative nature. QTLs have traditionally been studied using phenotype single progeny (usually full-sib progeny) and correlation set markers covering its genome. This approach has allowed identification various genes but limited small numbers individuals used narrow transect variability analyzed. In this...
Highly polygenic traits such as fruit weight, sugar content and acidity strongly influence the agroeconomic value of peach varieties. Genomic Selection (GS) can accelerate yield quality gain if predictions show higher levels accuracy compared to phenotypic selection. The available IPSC 9K SNP array V1 allows standardized highly reliable genotyping, preparing ground for GS in peach. A repeatability model (multiple records per individual plant) genome-enabled eleven European populations is...
The fruits of nine white-fleshed and three yellow-fleshed peaches, one nectarine five apricot cultivars were compared as to chemical composition sensory evaluation. Three acids (succinic, malic citric) eight sugars (xylitol, fructose, glucose, mannose, sorbitol, inositol, sucrose maltose) identified. total amount (mg/100g FW) ranged from 300 1,500 in peach 2,900 4,600 apricot. 6,700 12,500 7,400 10,800 for respectively. Total phenolics very varia- ble, ranging an average 30 mg/100g FW the...
Tree assessment methodologies, currently used to evaluate the structural stability of individual urban trees, usually involve a visual analysis followed by measurements internal soundness wood using various instruments that are often invasive, expensive, or inadequate for use within environment. Moreover, most conventional do not provide an adequate evaluation decay occurs in root system. The intent this research was possibility integrating tools, assessments with electronic nose-a new...
Double flowers with supernumerary petals have been selected by humans for their attractive appearance and commercial value in several ornamental plants, including Prunus persica (peach), a recognized model Rosaceae genetics genomics. Despite the relevance of this trait, knowledge underlying genes is limited. Of two distinct loci controlling double-flower phenotype peach, we focused on dominant Di2 locus. High-resolution linkage mapping five segregating progenies delimited to an interval...
