Integrated multi-omics analyses provide new insights into genomic variation landscape and regulatory network candidate genes associated with walnut endocarp.

Abstract excerpt

Persian walnut (Juglans regia) is an economically important nut oil tree; the fruit has a hard endocarp/shell to protect seeds, thus playing a key role in its evolution, and the shell thickness is an important trait for walnut breeding. However, the genomic landscape and the gene regulatory networks associated with walnut shell development remain to be systematically elucidated. Here, we report a high-quality...
