TL;DR: In this article, a high-quality draft genome sequence of the diploid P. bretschneideri Rehd was provided for de novo assembly of a highly heterozygous genome of this size with highly repetitive DNA sequences.

TL;DR: A highly saturated pear genetic map was constructed using over 3000 SNP markers developed by RADseq integrated with anchored SSR markers, which identified the reliable QTLs of several fruit traits.

TL;DR: It was found that ZFP185, unlike previously known A20/AN1-type zinc finger genes, increases sensitivity to drought, cold, and salt stresses, implying the negative role of ZFP 185 in stress tolerance.

TL;DR: A population of 97 F1 seedlings from a cross between the interspecific hybrid pear ‘Bayuehong’ (BYH) and the Chinese pear “Dangshansuli” (DS) was used for establishing linkage maps and for quantitative trait loci (QTL) discovery.

TL;DR: This work provides a whole‐genome low‐coverage sequencing approach to detect BCA events independent of knowing the affected regions and with low false positives, and advances the application of high‐throughput whole‐ Genome low-coverage analysis for robust BCA detection—especially for clinical samples—without the need for karyotyping.
