Abstract
SummaryMolecular markers and their utilization in Rubus L. research and breeding are briefly reviewed, and some new potential applications are suggested. Several distinct marker methods have been tested, including chromatographical analyses of pigment molecules, electrophoresis of polymorphic proteins and a wide variety of DNA markers. Such markers have been employed in cultivar and hybrid identification, estimation of genetic similarities, taxonomy, and population genetics studies of various Rubus species as well as their pest organisms. Some differentially expressed genes have been tagged with cDNA probes which may in future be used as genetic markers to aid selection in breeding programmes. No genome mapping work has yet been reported on Rubus, but genetic linkage data of several other fruit and nut species in the Rosaceae have been evaluated for mapping purposes.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Horticultural Science and Biotechnology is an international, peer-reviewed journal, which publishes original research contributions into the production, improvement and utilisation of horticultural crops. It aims to provide scientific knowledge of interest to those engaged in scientific research and the practice of horticulture. The scope of the journal includes studies on fruit and other perennial crops, vegetables and ornamentals grown in temperate or tropical regions and their use in commercial, amenity or urban horticulture. Papers, including reviews, that give new insights into plant and crop growth, yield, quality and response to the environment, are welcome, including those arising from technological innovation and developments in crop genome sequencing and other biotechnological advances.
