This study identifies WOX1 mutations as the genetic basis of the prickleless S locus in blackberry and red raspberry, enabling gene editing to create prickleless cultivars.

This study identifies a genomic region on chromosome Ra03 associated with primocane-fruiting in tetraploid blackberries and develops diagnostic markers for breeding.

This study investigates whether variations in chlorogenic acid content in highbush blueberries affect their ability to inhibit TMA production by gut bacteria, finding no significant difference in TMA inhibition across genotypes with varying CGA levels.

This paper constructs and analyzes the first pangenomes for blueberry and cranberry, revealing high genetic diversity and identifying genes associated with disease resistance and fruit quality.

This paper evaluates a multiplexed plant-animal SNP array for diverse applications, showing high SNP performance across species and cost savings through pooling.

The paper presents a chromosome-length genome assembly and annotation of the blackberry species Rubus argutus, identifying candidate genes for primocane-fruiting.

The paper presents an improved genome assembly of the European pear using long-read sequencing and other techniques, resulting in a more accurate gene count.

The paper develops a workflow to generate high-quality SNP genotypic data for apple, peach, and sweet cherry using pedigree records and inheritance principles, resulting in curated haploblock data sets.
