Peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) is one of the main agricultural stone fruit crops of the family Rosaceae. Modern breeding is aimed at improving the quality of the fruit, extending the period of its production, increasing its resistance to unfavorable environmental conditions and reducing the total cost of production of cultivated varieties. However, peach breeding is an extremely long process: it takes 10-15 years from hybridization of the parental forms to obtaining fruit-bearing trees. Rese
