This review is an overview of traditional and modern breeding methodologies being used to
develop new Prunus cultivars (stone fruits) with major emphasis on peach, sweet cherry and …

The concept of selective (or bin) mapping is used here for the first time, using as an example
the Prunus reference map constructed with an almond× peach F2 population. On the basis …

Abstract Background Peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] is one of the most economically
important fruit crops that, due to its genetic and biological characteristics (small genome …

An improved genetic linkage map was constructed from a peach Ferjalou Jalousia®×
Fantasia (J× F) F 2 population. Ferjalou Jalousia® is a flat low-acidity clingstone peach, and …

The chilling and heat requirements and flowering time were studied, for 2 years, in an
almond progeny from the cross between the late-flowering French selection “R1000” and the …

Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis is a rapid and efficient method for
producing DNA fingerprints and molecular characterization. Our objectives were to: estimate …

In the present study, phenotypic variability of 80 plum (Prunus domestica L.) varieties
maintained in the French National Plum Collection was evaluated with 19 quantitative traits …

A total of 145 microsatellite primer pairs from Prunus DNA sequences were studied for
transferability in a set of eight cultivars from nine rosaceous species (almond, peach, apricot …

Abstract Background Peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) is one of the most important model
fruits in the Rosaceae family. Native to the west of China, where peach has been …

During the last decade, S-genotyping has been extensively investigated in fruit tree crops
such as those belonging to the Prunus genus, including plums. In plums, S-allele typing has …
