This study identifies a stop-gained mutation in a Peroxiredoxin gene as the cause of the low-chill phenotype in the apricot mutant 'Bulida Precoz' using whole-genome sequencing and comparative genomics.

The paper analyzes somatic mutations in an Apricot tree, finding most mutations are layer-specific and can lead to somaclonal phenotypic variation.

This paper develops a method to generate chromosome-level, haplotype-resolved genome assemblies using single-cell sequencing of gametes, demonstrating it on apricot trees.
