The <i>Ficus erecta</i> genome to identify the Ceratocystis canker resistance gene for breeding programs in common fig ( <i>F. carica</i> )
2019-08-29
Abstract excerpt
Ficus erecta , a wild relative of common fig ( F. carica ), is a donor of Ceratocystis canker resistance in fig breeding programs. Interspecific hybridization followed by recurrent backcrossing is an effective method to transfer the resistance trait from wild to cultivated fig; however, this is time consuming and labor-intensive for trees, especially for gynodioecious plants such as fig. In this study, genome res...
