Why we thrive beneath a northern sky - genomic signals of selection in apple for adaptation to northern Sweden.

Abstract excerpt

Good understanding of the genomic regions underlying adaptation of apple to boreal climates is needed to facilitate efficient breeding of locally adapted apple cultivars. Proper infrastructure for phenotyping and evaluation is essential for identification of traits responsible for adaptation, and dissection of their genetic composition. However, such infrastructure is costly and currently not available for the...
