Sweet cherry maturity date and fruit quality are relevant traits for its marketability, transport,
and consumer acceptance. In this work, sweet cherry fruit development time, maturity date …

Bloom time in sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) is a highly heritable trait that varies between
genotypes and depends on the environmental conditions. Bud-break occurs after chill and …

Abstract The Spanish local cultivar 'Ambrunés' stands out due to its high organoleptic quality
and fruit firmness. These characteristics make it an important parent for breeding cherries …

Sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) world production has been steadily increasing in the last
decades. Accordingly, breeders are releasing new cultivars at an unprecedented pace, in …

Abundant phytochemical content in sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) has health-promoting
properties and contributes to fruit quality traits. To identify QTLs associated with sweet cherry …

Cherry breeding and genetic studies can benefit from genome-wide genetic marker assays.
Currently, a 6K SNP array enables genome scans in cherry; however, only a third of these …

Walnut (Juglans regia L.) is one of the most important nut tree species. Simple sequence
repeat (SSR)-based genetic linkage maps are valuable and effective tools for studies on …

Graft incompatibility (GI) between the most popular Prunus rootstocks and apricot cultivars is
one of the major problems for rootstock usage and improvement. Failure in producing long …
