“…The recent release of the complete peach genome sequence (Verde et al, 2013) together with four almond genome sequences (Koepke et al, 2013) and the sweet cherry genome publicly available since 2013 (Carrasco et al, 2013), offer new possibilities for integrating genetic and genomic approaches to find new CGs for flowering time in perennial plants (Martínez-Gómez et al, 2012). …”

Recent advancements to study flowering time in almond and other Prunus species

Flowering time is an important agronomic trait in almond since it is decisive to avoid the late frosts that affect production in early flowering cultivars. Evaluation of this complex trait is a long process because of the prolonged juvenile period of trees and the influence of environmental conditions affecting gene expression year by year. Consequently, flowering time has to be studied for several years to have statistical significant results. This trait is the result of the interaction between chilling and heat requirements. Flowering time is a polygenic trait with high heritability, although a major gene Late blooming (Lb) was described in “Tardy Nonpareil.” Molecular studies at DNA level confirmed this polygenic nature identifying several genome regions (Quantitative Trait Loci, QTL) involved. Studies about regulation of gene expression are scarcer although several transcription factors have been described as responsible for flowering time. From the metabolomic point of view, the integrated analysis of the mechanisms of accumulation of cyanogenic glucosides and flowering regulation through transcription factors open new possibilities in the analysis of this complex trait in almond and in other Prunus species (apricot, cherry, peach, plum). New opportunities are arising from the integration of recent advancements including phenotypic, genetic, genomic, transcriptomic, and metabolomics studies from the beginning of dormancy until flowering.

“…Due to the high degree of heterozygosity of plum and its home hexaploid nature, it is difficult to investigate the inheritance of signs [9,[15][16][17]. The plum fruit size is inherited as a quantitative trait [7,15,[18][19][20][21][22][23].…”

“…Matveyev (1987), studying the size of fruits in hybrid seedlings of domestic plums, found that the coefficient of heritability of this trait in a broad sense (H2) is 0.11. In plums, the coefficient of heritability of the fruits size in the narrow sense is 0.50 -0.52 [22,23]. This means that the correct selection of parents by phenotypic values of hybridization will lead to significant progress in the breeding of plums to increase the size of the fruit.…”

The aim of the research was to establish the features of the inheritance of the size of the fruit in the hybrid families of Prunus domestica. The objects of study were hybrid seedlings of plum selection of the Tatar research Institute of agriculture. Fruit sizes were estimated according to the methodology of the all-Russian research Institute of fruit crops selection. The analysis of the splitting of plum in hybrid families by the size of fruits showed that seedlings with small fruits dominated in the breeding gardens of the Tatar research Institute. The size of the plum fruit is controlled by polygens. All of the original parental forms are heterozygotes for the genes determining the size of the fruit. A small fruit is a dominant trait, a large fruit is a recessive trait. In most hybrid families, plum seedlings have a significant variability in the size of the fruit. Transgressive genotypes with large fruits are formed in hybrid families Eurasia 21 x Renklod Tenkovsky, Eurasia 21 x free pollination and Zyuzinskaya x free pollination. The varieties Eurasia 21 and Zyuzinskaya must be used as sources in breeding of plums for large-fruited.

“…Despite an estimated genome size of 225–330 Mb [8], [9], sweet cherry is lacking in genomic information in comparison with other prominent Rosaceae members, including peach and apple [10], [11]. Linkage maps and molecular markers have been developed for sweet cherry [12] as well as peach and almond, two other members of the sub-family Prunoideae [13], [14], [15], and a comprehensive and advanced draft of the peach genome serves as the foundation for several comparative studies [10].…”

Identification of genetic polymorphisms and subsequent development of molecular markers is important for marker assisted breeding of superior cultivars of economically important species. Sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) is an economically important non-climacteric tree fruit crop in the Rosaceae family and has undergone a genetic bottleneck due to breeding, resulting in limited genetic diversity in the germplasm that is utilized for breeding new cultivars. Therefore, it is critical to recognize the best platforms for identifying genome-wide polymorphisms that can help identify, and consequently preserve, the diversity in a genetically constrained species. For the identification of polymorphisms in five closely related genotypes of sweet cherry, a gel-based approach (TRAP), reduced representation sequencing (TRAPseq), a 6k cherry SNParray, and whole genome sequencing (WGS) approaches were evaluated in the identification of genome-wide polymorphisms in sweet cherry cultivars. All platforms facilitated detection of polymorphisms among the genotypes with variable efficiency. In assessing multiple SNP detection platforms, this study has demonstrated that a combination of appropriate approaches is necessary for efficient polymorphism identification, especially between closely related cultivars of a species. The information generated in this study provides a valuable resource for future genetic and genomic studies in sweet cherry, and the insights gained from the evaluation of multiple approaches can be utilized for other closely related species with limited genetic diversity in the breeding germplasm.
