Abstract

Temperate fruit species are those adapted to climates in the middle ­latitudes and according to their fruits are usually classified as fruit and nut trees, vine, and berries. Most of the best-known temperate tree crops are members of the Rosaceae family, including pome fruits (e.g., apple, pear, loquat, and quince) and stone fruits (e.g., apricot, cherry, peach, and plum). During the last decades, many efforts have been made in the field of genetics and genomics of these species. Such efforts have generated important tools like molecular markers, genetic and physical maps, SNP arrays and microarrays, among others, ready to be applied in variability studies, in breeding programs, and in general in the better understanding of the genetics behind agricultural important traits in these species. Here we present a brief summary of genomic studies on the most important temperate fruit trees grown for edible use.
