Genomes and integrative genomic insights into the genetic architecture of main agronomic traits in the edible cherries.

ABSTRACT: Cherries are one of the economically important fruit crops in the Rosaceae family, Prunus genus. As the first fruits of the spring season in the northern hemisphere, their attractive appearance, intensely desirable tastes, high nutrients content, and consumer-friendly size captivate consumers worldwide. In the past 30 years, although cherry geneticists and breeders have greatly progressed in understanding the genetic and molecular basis underlying fruit quality, adaptation to climate change, and biotic and abiotic stress resistance, the utilization of cherry genomic data in genetics and molecular breeding has remained limited to date. Here, we thoroughly investigated recent discoveries in constructing genetic linkage maps, identifying quantitative trait loci (QTLs), genome-wide asso
