Chloroplast DNA Polymorphisms in Sweet, Sour, and Ground Cherry

Development and Evaluation of a Genome-Wide 6K SNP Array for Diploid Sweet Cherry and Tetraploid Sour Cherry

High-throughput genome scans are important tools for genetic studies and breeding applications. Here, a 6K SNP array for use with the Illumina Infinium® system was developed for diploid sweet cherry (Prunus avium) and allotetraploid sour cherry (P. cerasus). This effort was led by RosBREED, a community initiative to enable marker-assisted breeding for rosaceous crops. Next-generation sequencing...

New reports of endophytic fungi associated with cherry (Prunus avium) and sour cherry (Prunus cerasus) trees in Iran

Endophytic fungi constitute a remarkable multifarious group of microorganisms live within plants tissues without causing any obvious negative effect. Endophytic fungi have been found in every plant species examined to date. During an investigation on endophytic fungi, 123 fungal isolates were obtained from healthy twigs and leaves of cherry (Prunus avium) and sour cherry (P. cerasus) trees in I...

Sweet and sour: unraveling diabetic vascular disease.

Diabetes is the epidemic of the 21st century.1 Rare in the past, diabetes has grown into an increasingly common disease both in developed countries and most recently also in the third world. The most important factor for this unforeseen trend appears to be the increase in body weight around the world attributable to the changes in lifestyle over the last decades.2 It is likely that the increasi...
