AFLP is an effective, inexpensive, and timesaving technique for the genetic differentiation of the Mei cultivars, as evidenced in this study.
Abstract
Mei flower is one of the most famous ornamental flowers in eastern Asia for its blossoming in early spring. Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) is one of the most frequently used techniques for analysis of genetic variation and is used herein for the first time inPrunus mume. This research provides a detailed and modified AFLP protocol for Mei genomic DNA digested withEcoRI/PstI restriction endonuclease combinations. The 10 best primer pairs of high polymorphism were screened from 256 primer combinations that could reliably and repetitively distinguish 14 Mei samples and would be suitable for genetic analysis of more cultivars. Ten primer pairs produced up to a total of 524 AFLP bands and up to 233 polymorphic bands. The ratio of polymorphic bands scoped from 35.71% to 59.67%, and the average ratio was 44.46% in the 10 primers. AFLP is an effective, inexpensive, and timesaving technique for the genetic differentiation of the Mei cultivars, as evidenced in this study.

The genetic architecture of floral traits in the woody plant Prunus mume

TL;DR: This study samples wild and domesticated mei to reveal considerable admixture and introgression from other Prunus species and identifies loci associated with floral traits, and identifies significant quantitative traits locus (QTLs) and genomic regions where several genes are positively associated with petal color, stigma color, calyx color, and bud color.

Shortening tobacco life cycle accelerates functional gene identification in genomic research.

TL;DR: Comparative analysis among wild type, short life cycle tobacco and Arabidopsis transformation system verified that it is optional to accelerate functional gene studies by shortening host plant material life cycle, at least in these shortlife cycle tobacco lines.

Micropropagation of six prunus mume cultivars through axillary shoot proliferation, and issr analysis of cloned plants

TL;DR: In vitro culture, a set of techniques that offers a tool for mass multiplication, germplasm conservation and transformation research, has been widely used in Prunus species, but very few reports have described micropropagation of P. mume through in vitro culture.

Nuclear DNA Amounts in Angiosperms

TL;DR: This paper lists absolute nuclear DNA amounts for 753 angiosperm species, and the dats were assembled primarily for reference purposes, and so the species are listed in alphabetical order, as this was felt to be more helpful to cyto- and biochemists whom, it is anticipated, will be among its major users.

Comparative mapping and marker-assisted selection in Rosaceae fruit crops

TL;DR: By using the data from different linkage maps anchored with the reference Prunus map, it has been possible to establish, in a general map, the position of 28 major genes affecting agronomic characters found in different species.
