Polymorphisms and gene expression in the almond IGT family are not correlated to variability in growth habit in major commercial almond cultivars.

Abstract excerpt

Almond breeding programs aimed at selecting cultivars adapted to intensive orchards have recently focused on the optimization of tree architecture. This multifactorial trait is defined by numerous components controlled by processes such as hormonal responses, gravitropism and light perception. Gravitropism sensing is crucial to control the branch angle and therefore, the tree habit. A gene family, denominated IGT...
