Validation of SNP markers for fruit quality and disease resistance loci in apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) using the OpenArray® platform

Breeding science: A new way to weed out bad apples Improving the taste, colour, and disease resistance of apple varieties will now be easier, thanks to a set of genetic markers that can be used to select the best individuals to breed. Although many crop genomes have been sequenced, the information m...
