Breeding fruit species is time-consuming and expensive. With few exceptions, trees are
likely the worst species to work with in terms of genetics and breeding. Most are …

Thanks to current advances in sequencing technologies, novel bioinformatics tools, and
efficient modeling solutions, association mapping has become a widely accepted approach …

Deciphering the genetic control of grape berry traits is crucial for optimizing yield, fruit
quality, and consumer acceptability. In this study, an association panel of 179 grape …

Table grape is a fruit with increasing interest due to its attributes and nutritional compounds.
During recent years, new cultivars such as those without seeds and with new flavors have …

Fruit cracking is a common phenomenon during the growth and development of horticultural
crops that seriously affects fruit yield and quality. However, there are few studies on the …

Background Aroma, berry firmness and berry shape are three main quality traits in table
grape production, and also the important target traits in grapevine breeding. However, the …

Key message A half-diallel population involving five elite grapevine cultivars was generated
and genotyped by GBS, and highly-informative segregation data was used to construct a …

Berry firmness is one of the most important quality traits in table grapes. The underlying
molecular and genetic mechanisms for berry firmness remain unclear. We constructed a …

The raspberry (Rubus idaeus) is an important fruit crop; however, its accelerated softening is
a critical postharvest problem, even at low temperatures. Its softening has been partially …

In this chapter, we review the history of grapevine genetics and gene mapping. Genetic
markers are introduced considering both sequence-based and sequence-independent …
