Quantitative Traits of Interest in Apple Breeding and Their Implications for Selection
TL;DR: In this article , more than 5000 F1 apple hybrids from direct and testcrosses were analyzed and the results revealed how the phenotypic expression of the main quantitative traits of interest assessed in five half-sib families was controlled by additive genetic effects and by non-additive effects of dominance and epistasis.

A phased, chromosome-scale genome of ‘Honeycrisp’ apple (Malus domestica)
Awais Khan,Sarah B. Carey,Alicia Serrano,Huiting Zhang,Heidi Hargarten,Haley Hale,Alex Harkess,Loren A. Honaas +7 more
TL;DR: A fully phased, chromosome-level genome of ‘Honeycrisp’ apples is presented, using PacBio HiFi, Omni-C, and Illumina sequencing platforms and provides a valuable resource for understanding the genetic basis of horticulturally important traits in apples and other related tree fruit species, including at-harvest and postharvest fruit quality, abiotic stress tolerance, and disease resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genotyping-by-sequencing of Canada’s apple biodiversity collection
TL;DR: The apple biodiversity collection (ABC) as discussed by the authors is one of the most diverse collections of apples in the world, which was designed to enable genetic mapping and has been used extensively for crop improvement.

Comparative Analysis of Phenotypic and Molecular Data on Response to Main Pear Diseases and Pest Attack in a Germplasm Collection
Leontina I. SIMIONCA MĂRCĂȘAN,Ion Oltean,Sergiu Popa,Mariola Plazas,Santiago Vilanova,Pietro Gramazio,Adriana F. Sestras,Jaime Prohens,Radu E. Sestras +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper , a standardized method for the evaluation of responses to biotic stressors was proposed, which highlighted significant differences between genotypes, and significant information was obtained that can be exploited to generate high variability for selection through artificial hybridization by harnessing accessions with complementary molecular fingerprints.

Ultrastructural Characterization of the Lower Motor System in a Mouse Model of Krabbe Disease.
Valentina Cappello,Laura Marchetti,Paola Parlanti,Paola Parlanti,Silvia Landi,Ilaria Tonazzini,Marco Cecchini,Vincenzo Piazza,Mauro Gemmi +8 more
TL;DR: The data further characterize the ultrastructural analysis of the KD mouse model, and support recent theories of a dying-back mechanism for neuronal degeneration, which is independent of demyelination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction of Total Genetic Value Using Genome-Wide Dense Marker Maps
TL;DR: It was concluded that selection on genetic values predicted from markers could substantially increase the rate of genetic gain in animals and plants, especially if combined with reproductive techniques to shorten the generation interval.

Occurrence of the potent mutagens 2- nitrobenzanthrone and 3-nitrobenzanthrone in fine airborne particles
TL;DR: In the present study, 2-NBA, 3-NBA and selected PAHs and Nitro-PAHs were determined in fine particle samples collected in a bus station and an outdoor site, showing low cancer risk incidence and incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR) calculated for both places.
