The identification and analysis of meristematic mutations within the apple tree that developed the <i>RubyMac</i> sport mutation
2023-01-11
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Understanding the molecular basis of sport mutations in fruit trees can accelerate breeding of novel cultivars. For this, we analyzed the DNA of the apple tree that evolved the RubyMac phenotype through a sport mutation that introduced changes in fruit coloration in upper branches of the tree. Unexpectedly, we not only found 46 de novo mutations, but also 54 somatic gene conversions (i.e., los...
