The induction of flower buds in apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) is tightly connected to biennial bearing, which is characterized by alternating years with high (ON) and low or no (OFF) crop loads. In order to study this irregular cropping behavior, spur buds from ON- and OFF-trees of the biennial-bearing cultivar ‘Fuji’ and the regular bearing cul...

The metabolite profile of ten traditional apple cultivars grown in the Piedmont region (Italy) was studied by means of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, identifying an overall number of 36 compounds. A more complete assignment of the proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) resonances from hydroalcoholic and organic apple extracts with res...

Apple replant disease (ARD) occurs worldwide in apple orchards and nurseries and leads to a severe growth and productivity decline. Despite research on the topic, its causality remains unclear. In a split-root experiment, we grew ARD-susceptible 'M26' apple rootstocks in different substrate combinations (+ARD: ARD soil; -ARD: gamma-irradiated ARD s...

Intragenesis is an important alternative to transgenesis to produce modified plants 27 containing native DNA only. A key point to develop such a strategy is the availability of 28 regulatory sequences controlling the expression of the gene of interest. With the aim of 29 finding apple gene promoters either inducible by the fire blight pathogen Erwi...

In 2010, a major scientific milestone was achieved for tree fruit crops: publication of the first draft whole genome sequence (WGS) for apple (Malus domestica). This WGS, v1.0, was valuable as the initial reference for sequence information, fine mapping, gene discovery, variant discovery, and tool development. A new, high quality apple WGS, GDDH13 ...

Under natural growth conditions, plants experience various and repetitive biotic and abiotic stresses. Salicylic acid (SA) is a key phytohormone involved in the response to biotic challenges. Application of synthetic SA analogues can efficiently prime defense responses, and leads to improved pathogen resistance. Because SA analogues can result in l...

Plants respond to drought by adjusting different growth and developmental processes. This study investigated the impact of a summer water deficit on shoot growth dynamics, comparatively in three apple cultivars, in their second and third year of growth. Trees were differentially irrigated to induce water stress (WS) or well - watered conditions (WW...

To cope with increasing water scarcity, breeding programs targeting for more efficient crop water use are crucial. This requires comprehensive knowledge of plant responses to drought, including the regulation of water status (by stomatal closure) and water - use efficiency (the ratio of carbon gain to water use). These questions have been scarcely ...

Background: Tracking newly emergent virulent populations in agroecosystems provides an opportunity to increase our understanding of the co-evolution dynamics of pathogens and their hosts. On the one hand host plants exert selective pressure on pathogen populations, thus dividing them into subpopulations of different virulence, while on the other ha...
