Genetic Diversity of Malus Mill. Germplasm Resources

Meer over het boek

The book delves into the rich genetic diversity of Malus Mill., highlighting the extensive collection efforts at China's National Repository of Apple and Pear Germplasm Resources. It details the preservation of over 2,300 germplasm resources and the use of advanced genetic analysis techniques, including microsatellites and specific-locus amplified fragment sequencing (SLAF-seq), to explore the genetic relationships among 391 accessions. The research provides valuable insights into the classification, origin, and evolution of both wild and cultivated apple species in China.
