Journal ArticleDOI
Development and characterisation of 140 new microsatellites in apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.)
R. Liebhard,Luca Gianfranceschi,B. Koller,C.D. Ryder,R. Tarchini,W.E. van de Weg,Cesare Gessler +6 more
TL;DR: The usefulness of the newly developed microsatellites in genetic mapping is demonstrated by means of the genetic linkage map of the cross ‘Fiesta’ × ‘Discovery’.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simple sequence repeats for the genetic analysis of apple
TL;DR: 16 reliable simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers that amplify all alleles from a panel of 19 Malus x domestica (Borkh.) cultivars or breeding selections and from Malus floribunda 821 show a high level of genetic polymorphism, and ten of the markers have been mapped on a RAPD linkage map, proving their Mendelian segregation as well as their random distribution in the apple genome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microsatellite markers spanning the apple ( Malus x domestica Borkh.) genome
E. Silfverberg-Dilworth,C. L. Matasci,W.E. van de Weg,M. P. W. Van Kaauwen,M. Walser,L.P. Kodde,V. Soglio,Luca Gianfranceschi,Charles-Eric Durel,F. Costa,Toshiya Yamamoto,B. Koller,Cesare Gessler,Andrea Patocchi +13 more
TL;DR: The increased coverage of theapple genome with SSRs allowed the selection of a set of 86 reliable, highly polymorphic, and overall the apple genome well-scattered SSRs, which are generally more polymorphic than sequences containing trinucleotide repeats.
Journal ArticleDOI
The HcrVf2 gene from a wild apple confers scab resistance to a transgenic cultivated variety
Enrico Belfanti,E. Silfverberg-Dilworth,Stefano Tartarini,Andrea Patocchi,Massimo Barbieri,Jun Zhu,Boris A. Vinatzer,Luca Gianfranceschi,Cesare Gessler,Silviero Sansavini +9 more
TL;DR: The results show that direct gene transfer between cross-compatible species can be viable when the use of backcrosses to introduce resistance genes from wild species cannot exactly reconstitute the heterozygous genotype of clonally propagated cultivars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Creating a saturated reference map for the apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) genome.
TL;DR: This map is currently the most advanced linkage map in apple with regard to genome coverage and marker density and represents an ideal starting point for future mapping projects in Malus since the stable and transferable SSR frame of the map can be saturated quickly with dominant AFLP markers.
