Crop evolution is a long-term process involving selection by natural evolutionary forces and anthropogenic influences; however, the genetic mechanisms underlying domestication improvement of fruit crops have not been well studied to date.

We identified 132 106 selective sweeps associated with improvement, respectively.

Sharka, a common disease among most stone fruit crops, is caused by the Plum Pox Virus (PPV). Resistant genotypes have been found in apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.), one of which-the cultivar 'Lito' heterozygous for resistance-has used to map major quantitative trait locus (QTL) on linkage group 1, following pseudo-test-cross mating design with 231 individuals. In addition, 19 SNP markers were selected from hundreds previously developed, which allowed region be limited 236 kb chromosome 1. A bacterial artificial (BAC) library was produced, screened region, and positive BAC clones sequenced. (R) susceptible (S) haplotypes assembled independently.

Given the disposability of somatic tissue, selection can favor a higher mutation rate in early segregating soma than germline, as seen some animals. Although plants intra-organismic heterogeneity is poorly resolved, same selectionist logic predict lower shoot root and longer-lived terminal tissues (e.g., leaves) ontogenetically similar short-lived ones petals), that should be deterministic with no significant differences between biological replicates. To address these expectations, we sequenced 754 genomes from various eight plant species. Consistent model, accumulation per unit time apical meristem perennials, which high proportion mutations shoots are themselves transmissible, but not annuals, tend to transmissible. Similarly, number accumulated leaves commonly within petal plant, there more rates replicate branches expected by chance. High runners strawberry is, argue, exception proves rule, transmission patterns indicate runner has restricted germline. However, also find vitro callus tissue (per time) wild-grown comparator, suggesting nonadaptive mutational "fragility". As fragility does obviously explain why shoot-root difference varies longevity, conclude variation consistent theory mechanistic null considered.
