The apple genome has approximately 57,000 genes, which was the highest number of any plant genome studied at the time, and more genes than the human genome which has about 25,000 genes. The modern apple has 17 chromosomes which were found to be derived from an ancestor with 9 chromosomes that experienced genome-wide duplication .
Apr 2, 2019 · The apple genome is a foundation of genetic research and DNA-informed breeding that drives innovations for sustainable apple production 1,2.
Using a homozygous apple variety (a doubled haploid of ‘Golden Delicious’) and by combining several of the latest sequencing and mapping technologies, we have obtained a very high quality genome.
Jun 5, 2017 · To produce a high-quality apple reference genome and methylome, we generated a de novo assembly of a 'Golden Delicious' doubled-haploid tree (GDDH13) composed of 280 assembled scaffolds...
Feb 12, 2024 · Near-gapless and haplotype-resolved genome assemblies of the dwarfing ‘M9’ and semi-vigorous ‘MM106’ rootstocks and a major apple cultivar ‘Fuji’ provide insights into the genetic ...
Apr 5, 2019 · Excitement surrounded publication of the apple WGS: it promised to reveal how apple as a species and a crop arose, to help elucidate how apple trees and organs function, and to provide “a tool to initiate a new era” in apple genetic improvement via breeding.
Sun X, Jiao C, Schwaninger H, Chao CT, Ma Y, Duan N, Khan A, Ban S, Xu K, Cheng L, Zhong G-Y, Fei Z (2020) Phased diploid genome assemblies and pan-genomes provide insights into the genetic history of apple domestication.
