 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'Fruit Breedomics has as its strategic goal to improve the efficiency of fruit breeding by bridging the gap between scientific genetics research and application in breeding. Fruit Breedomics takes a multidisciplinary approach, including genetics, genomics, ecophysiology and bioinformatics, to improve the efficiency apple and peach breeding programmes by: i) developing new and adapted tools, ii) studying a wide range of traits to enlarge the coverage of selection criteria, iii) analysing and exploiting the wide genetic diversity available, iv) making the research outputs (valuable traits, genetic markers and genes, innovative tools and methodologies, new plant material) directly applicable for the breeders, v) establishing a stakeholder network. Fruit Breedomics will provide the European fruit tree sector with cutting-edge breeding tools to improve selection efficiency as well as superior pre-breeding material to meet grower and consumer demands for healthy cultivars of high quality that can be grown in sustainable agriculture systems in the context of climate change. The project will develop tailored molecular and bioinformatics tools to extensively exploit the diversity present in European germplasm collections and breeding populations. This will lead to the selection of desired favourable genes needed for improvement of main horticultural traits. The collected data will provide precious genetic information on the pool of genitors and founders to be used in future breeding programmes. The project will focus primarily on apple and peach, two major fruits in Europe, but many tools and much knowledge gained will also be of benefit to other species of the Rosaceae family via the strong ancestral relatedness among these species.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

Researchers in the EU have formed a consortium to encourage the use of new genetic tools for improved commercial fruit breeding.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

Over the last decade, researchers have produced a wealth of genomic information about fruit trees as well as an array of valuable breeding tools. However, there is a need to collate and order this information so that commercial breeders can use it to their advantage.

The 'Integrated approach for increasing breeding efficiency in fruit tree crops' (http://fruitbreedomics.com/ (FRUIT BREEDOMICS)) project was established to improve the efficiency of apple and peach tree breeding. Project partners developed molecular and bioinformatics tools to exploit the diversity found in European fruit tree collections and breeding populations.

Researchers conducted apple and peach surveys to identify the most important traits and develop a better understanding of current breeding strategies. Cultivars with resistance to common diseases in peach and apple were characterised and used to introduce and/or combine these traits in breeding materials through crossing.

A fast breeding approach was developed and used to introduce resistance to fire blight, a contagious disease in apples and other members of the Rosaceae family. Researchers also designed a new method to facilitate the rapid genotyping of apple germplasm.

A pilot study determined the quality of genotyping by DNA sequence data and evaluated the problems of missing data in apple genome-wide association (GWA) studies. The GWA study examined common genetic variants in different individuals to determine if any variant was associated with a particular trait.

A relational database for the collection of phenotypes was developed and a user-database interface created for the management and exploration of the database content. For genotyping data, the team developed tools for semi-automated data input.

Researchers reviewed a wide array of software for linking genetics to physical traits, and tested these tools on various cultivars. This process yielded a number of promising tools, which have been further tested on large collections of genetic data.
