Genomics Approaches to Crop Improvement in the Rosaceae

  • Chapter
Genetics and Genomics of Rosaceae

Part of the book series: Plant Genetics and Genomics: Crops and Models ((PGG,volume 6))

Genomic research in Rosaceae crops is commonly directed at understanding the genetic control of important agronomic traits with the aim of improving product quality and reducing production costs. Genomic knowledge can be used for genetic improvement of cultivars through breeding or genetic engineering. Genomic knowledge can also be used for the development of new cultural practices and the tailoring of existing production practices according to genetic categories of cultivars. The translation of genomic data and fundamental discoveries into practical results with real world applications is often termed “translational genomics”. However, the term is also used to describe the transfer of genomic knowledge from model organisms, such as Arabidopsis, to crop species, with practical application sometimes only implied.
