Crosstalk between Ovate Family Proteins, plant hormones, and microtubule dynamics regulating fruit shape

This study investigates fruit shape regulation in peach and apple by analyzing OFP expression patterns and hormone interactions, revealing conserved regulatory circuits.

Genomic analysis of fruit size and shape traits in apple: unveiling candidate genes through GWAS analysis.

This paper performs GWAS on apple fruit size and shape traits using the Apple REFPOP collection, identifying SNPs and candidate genes associated with these traits.

An LTR retrotransposon in the promoter of a PsMYB10.2 gene associated with the regulation of fruit flesh color in Japanese plum

The paper identifies an LTR retrotransposon in the promoter of PsMYB10.2 gene that explains red flesh color in Japanese plum and develops a molecular marker for marker-assisted selection.

Genetic architecture and genomic prediction accuracy of apple quantitative traits across environments

This study examines the genetic architecture and genomic prediction accuracy of 30 apple quantitative traits across six European locations, identifying novel associations and demonstrating the impact of genotype by environment interactions.
