Domestication of fruit and vegetables resulted in a huge diversity of shapes and sizes of the
produce. Selections that took place over thousands of years of alleles that increased fruit …

Accurate identification of polymorphisms from sequence data is crucial to unlocking the
potential of high throughput sequencing for genomics. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) …

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have many advantages as molecular markers
since they are ubiquitous and codominant. However, the discovery of true SNPs in polyploid …

Cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important oilseed crop that is grown extensively
in Africa, Asia and America. The diseases early and late leaf spot severely constrains …

High-throughput next-generation sequence-based genotyping and single nucleotide
polymorphism (SNP) detection opens the door for emerging genomics-based breeding strategies …

Within the cultivated tomato germplasm, sun, ovate and fs8.1 are the three predominant QTLs
controlling fruit elongation. Although SUN and OVATE have been cloned, their role in plant …

fs8.1 is a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) that controls the elongated shape of tomato (Solanum
lycopersicum) fruit. In this study, we fine-mapped the locus from a 47Mb to a 3.03Mb …

Elongated tomato fruit shape is the result of the action of the fruit shape genes possibly in
coordination with the phytohormone auxin. To investigate the possible link between auxin and …

Efforts in genome sequencing in the Aspergillus genus have led to the development of quality
reference genomes for several important species including A. nidulans, A. fumigatus, and …

Cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea) is one of the most widely grown food legumes in the
world, being valued for its high protein and unsaturated oil contents. Drought stress is one of …
