A Pear Linkage Map To Identify Fire Blight Resistance QTLs.
The presence of different levels of resistance to fire blight (Erwinia amylovora) in European pear (Pyrus communis L.) cultivars suggests that QTLs related to resistance can be identified. Given the polygenic nature of this trait, two linkage maps of the

A cell wall-oriented genomic approach reveals a new and unexpected complexity of the softening in peaches [PDF]
During ripening, fleshy fruits undergo textural changes that lead to loss of tissue firmness and consequent softening. It is a common idea that this process is the consequence of cell wall dismantling carried out by different and orderly expressed ...
