Abstract:
... The Netherlands’ field genebank collection of European wild apple (Malus sylvestris), consisting of 115 accessions, was studied in order to determine whether duplicates and mistakes had been introduced, and to develop a strategy to optimize the planting design of the collection as a seed orchard. We used the apple 20K Infinium single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array, developed in M. domestica, ...

Abstract:
... Although human-imposed selection is known to have altered plant traits during crop domestication, the effect of selection on host susceptibility or resistance is not well understood. Moreover, the domestication of perennial tree fruit crops, unlike annual crops, was driven by hybridization, clonal propagation, and selection of desirable phenotypes, which could confound the accurate assessment of d ...

Abstract:
... Pale green lethal (PGL) is a recessive genetic disorder of apple (Malus) characterized by severe chlorophyll deficiency and seedling lethality. Following germination, seedlings cannot photosynthesize and die at the cotyledon stage. We previously reported that the genetic and biochemical basis of PGL is due to a loss-of-function mutation in a gene required for the biosynthesis of phylloquinone (vit ...

Abstract:
... RCD1 is a member of the plant-specific SRO protein family. Several SRO genes have been functionally identified in the regulation of abiotic stresses in Arabidopsis and other plant species. However, the function of SROs is largely unknown in apple (Malus×domestica). In this study, six MdSRO-encoding genes were isolated, categorized into two types and mapped to six chromosomes. The phylogenetic anal ...

Pressure on the natural habitats of this wild apple has been intensified due to agriculture, grazing, and urbanization in the last century. For decades, M. sieversii in Kazakhstan has been subjected to the “Red Book of the Kazakh SSR” an ...
