Abstract

Prunus is an economically important fruit tree genus and includes many stone fruit trees such as peach (Prunus persica Batsch), apricot, Japanese apricot (Prunus mume), sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.), European plum (Prunus domestica L.), Japanese plum (Prunus salicina Lindl.) and almond [Prunus dulcis (Mill.) D. A. Webb.]. The characterisation of genes associated with agriculturally important traits such as fruit ripening, dormancy, self-incompatibility, fruit quality and various other developmental processes is important to improve Prunus breeding programmes. Based on high-density molecular genetic maps, many genes are located on the genome, and subsequently, most of them were fine-mapped and further identified by positional cloning. Currently, with the availability of the P. mume genome sequence, the identification of new genes is significantly accelerated.
