Unlocking diversity from wild relatives of perennial fruit crops in the pan-genomics era.

Abstract excerpt

Crop wild relatives of perennial fruit crops have a wealth of untapped genetic diversity that can be utilized for cultivar development. However, barriers such as linkage drag, long juvenility, and high heterozygosity have hindered their utilization. Advancements in genome sequencing technologies and assembly methods, combined with the integration of chromosome conformation capture have made it possible to...
