Genome-Wide Association Study of Brown Rot (Monilinia spp.) Tolerance in Peach

Wanfang Fu et al.

Summary: Brown rot, caused by Monilinia spp., is a significant disease on stone fruit worldwide, leading to severe yield loss. While some tolerance has been reported in peach and almond, genetic resistance in peach cultivars is still lacking. This study identified several genomic regions associated with brown rot tolerance in peach, providing valuable insights for further research and DNA-assisted breeding.

Exploring Genome-Wide Diversity in the National Peach (Prunus persica) Germplasm Collection at CITA (Zaragoza, Spain)

Jorge Mas-Gomez et al.

Summary: This study utilized a new peach SNP chip to investigate the genetic diversity and population structure of the National Peach Germplasm Collection in northern Spain, identifying potential germplasm exchange among regions. The findings will aid in the efficient management of the collection and benefit future Genome-Wide Association Studies of important fruit traits in peach.

Fine-tuning the performance of ddRAD-seq in the peach genome

Maximiliano Martin Aballay et al.

Summary: This study assessed the performance of the double-digest RADseq approach in peach, finding that the enzyme pair PstI/MboI retained the highest number of loci. Analysis of 191 peach genotypes yielded a large amount of genetic variation information using this method.
