Abstract

At FEM-IASMA we initiated an innovative integrated breeding program, combining the information derived by the sequencing of the heterozygous Golden Delicious apple genome with traditional breeding activities. Our main goal is the creation of novel apple varieties characterised by a high quality and resistant to major pathogen diseases. Marker technology can improve the long and laborious selection process, allowing for “marker assisted selection”. The anchoring of the assembled genome to our genetic maps will enable the identification of the most favourable markers closely related to the traits of interest, aiding in efficient selection of the next generation seedlings.
