Prunus (Rosaceae) is a large genus with significant economic importance, since it includes a variety of popular stone fruit species [e.g., peach ( Prunus persica ), apricot ( Prunus armeniaca ), almond ( Prunus dulcis ), and sweet cherry ( Prunus

resistance was the primary breeding objective to replace several widespread nematode susceptible almond × peach hybrid rootstocks used for peach production in Spain, especially in replant situations ( Pinochet, 1997 ). All three rootstocks have a high level

breeding programs ( Okie and Hancock, 2008 ; Okie and Ramming, 1999 ). The proportion of flowers that develop into fruit is much lower in japanese plum ( Guerra et al., 2010 ) than in other Prunus species ( Bradbury, 1929 ; Dicenta et al., 2002

States are yellow-fleshed, white-fleshed cultivars are being increasingly planted, and a few red-fleshed cultivars (with either yellow or white backgrounds) are available. Use of a limited number of parents in breeding programs has led to reduction in the

thought ( Dirr, 2009 ). Cold-hardiness of the hybrid fortune’s osmanthus appears to be intermediate to that of its parents ( Dirr, 2009 ), indicating that hybrid breeding may be a promising avenue for improving cold-hardiness in the genus. Germplasm

has not been reported in other Botrytis –host systems, but is an important consideration when breeding. The use of leaf evaluations as an early indicator of fruit susceptibility could be useful for evaluating perennial crops with a long generation

habit of rose ( Rosa sp.) has been altered by centuries of breeding for the recessive locus recurrent blooming ( Iwata et al., 2012 ). Rb was recently identified as a TFL1 ortholog and rose cultivars with low RoTFL1 expression bloom repetitively
