Marker-assisted selection (MAS) in stone fruit (Prunus species) breeding is currently difficult to achieve due the polygenic nature of most relevant agronomic traits linked quality. Genotyping by sequencing (GBS), however, provides a large quantity useful data suitable for fine mapping using Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) from reference genome. In this study, GBS was used genotype 272 seedlings three F1 Japanese plum (P. salicina Lindl) progenies derived crossing '98-99' (as common...
Apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) is a valuable worldwide agronomical crop, with delicious fruit highlighted as functional food both nutritional and bioactive properties, remarkably beneficial to human health. ripening coordinated developmental process which requires change in the expression of hundreds thousands genes modify many biochemical physiological processes arising from quality characteristics ripe fruit. In addition, enhancing nutraceutical one central objectives be improved new...
Apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) is globally the third most cultivated stone fruit, prized for its flavourful and nutritious fruit.However, climacteric nature impacts postharvest behaviour, shortening shelf-life.While role interaction of key genes proteins involved in ripening process this species have been extensively studied over years, research on ethylene suppressors like 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) cold storage still limited.Fruit samples from 10 genotypes were collected at commercial...
Apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) and Japanese plum salicina are two of the most important stone fruit species, their climacteric nature is a major determinant in terms shelf-life period. The role main genes involved ripening process these species has been extensively studied, however there need to expand our molecular knowledge at epigenetic level. To achieve this, postharvest monitoring 'Goldrich' apricots 'Santa Rosa' plums after 1-MCP (ethylene inhibitor) Ethrel precursor) treatments was...
Abstract Quinoa ( Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is recognized as an important crop to improve global food security. It has gained international recognition because of the nutritional value its seeds and broad agronomic resilience. Although several studies have attempted characterize genetic diversity quinoa, none focused on evaluating germplasm from Ecuador; latter considered a relevant subcenter for species. In this study, 84 accessions representing species’ cultivated range in Ecuadorian...
This study characterizes the metabolomic profiles of three reference apricot cultivars ('Bergeron', 'Currot', and 'Goldrich') using 1H NMR spectroscopy untargeted UPLC-QToF MS/MS to support plant breeding by correlating data with fruit phenotyping. The primary objective was identify quantify key metabolites influencing quality from a nutraceutical perspective. analysis revealed significant differences in secondary among cultivars. 'Bergeron' 'Goldrich' exhibited higher concentrations organic...
Throughout history, new strategies and technologies have played a key role in promoting the development of agriculture. New led to substantial improvements crop productivity fruit quality. The cultivation peach apricot controlled greenhouse conditions is one such strategy. aim protected these species greenhouses grow trees by modifying natural environment tree, including harvest duration, which can be extended. This should improve yield, thus increasing benefit–cost ratio, especially case...
The physiology of Prunus fruit ripening is a complex and not completely understood process. To improve this knowledge, postharvest behavior during the shelf-life period at transcriptomic level has been studied using high-throughput sequencing analysis (RNA-Seq). Monitoring fruits analyzed after different ethylene regulator treatments, including 1-MCP (ethylene-inhibitor) Ethrel (ethylene-precursor) in two contrasting selected apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) Japanese plum (P. salicina...
Consumption of fresh fruit is known to protect against non-communicable diseases due the fruit's content in compounds with an antioxidant capacity, among them polyphenols. Asian plums (Prunus salicina L.) accumulate more than 40 phenolic compounds, a remarkable diversity their profiles, depending on variety and environmental conditions. Although candidate genes have been indicated control this trait, loci controlling its phenotypic variation not yet defined species. The aim work was identify...
Japanese plum is a very important temperate tree fruit, ranking in the second position among stone fruits, after peaches. In this species, there are few self-compatible varieties and lack of resistance to sharka disease (plum pox virus, PPV). context, interspecific crosses between plums self-compatible, sharka-resistant apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) cultivars have been performed recent years obtain resistant plumcots. The plumcot provides new fruit typology combining horticultural market...
