Most temperate fruit tree breeding programs pay major attention to fruit quality, chilling requirement, crop load, and tolerance to disease. In contrast, limited effort has been devoted to tree architecture and tree branching patterns ( Berthelemy

, a putative wild-type S f haplotype, poses a question about this hypothesis ( Bošković et al., 2007 ). The origin and molecular basis of SC in S f haplotype is intriguing for future SC breeding programs in almond. We previously sequenced the

’, ‘Qingcuili’, ‘Yuhuangli’, ‘Zuili’, ‘Naili’, and ‘Sanhuali’, being known for their excellent flavor and unique aroma ( Huang et al., 2019 ; Liu et al., 2019 ). In this context, the breeding objectives of our group are to select plum cultivars that possess not

( Vaccinium L.) ( Prior et al., 1998 ) and potatoes ( Solanum tuberosum L.) ( Reyes et al., 2004 ) to select genotypes with higher phenolic content and antioxidant activity. Likewise, the Prunus L. breeding program at Texas A & M University with the

apricot were achieved by using MS or ½ MS as basal media ( Feeney et al., 2007 ; Pérez-Jiménez et al., 2012 ; Petri and Scorza, 2010 ; Tian et al., 2007 ; Wang et al., 2011 ; Zhou et al., 2010 ). In our study, the greatest regeneration efficiency was

to reduce the potential for invasiveness as part of ornamental breeding programs. Prevention of invasiveness by cultural means is often sought too late; once spread has been extensive, eradication is often impossible, extremely expensive, and damaging

The production of temperate zone fruit crops in subtropical environments has increased significantly in the last 30 years. Low-chill cultivars of apple, blueberries, plum, and peach have been developed by several breeding programs and are in

Conventional plant breeding in woody perennials like red raspberry is a long and expensive process, in terms of the time required to reach a stage where certain traits can be assessed and the space required to grow the large number of plants
