Gene flow from the European wild apple and selection shaped the domesticated apple ( <i>Malus domestica</i> Borkh.) genome

2025-09-20

Abstract excerpt

How selection and demography shape genomes of long-lived crops remains largely unresolved. Using apple ( Malus domestica ) as a model, we integrate 218 whole genomes (68 cultivated dessert/cider; 150 wild: M. sieversii , M. orientalis , M. sylvestris ), RNA-seq, and a flowering-time GWAS to resolve how these forces forged the cultivated apple genome. Despite weak neutral differentiation and widespread admixtur...
